Thread: REM Dreamer(ver. 6) Advice

Sounds like your sleeping through the signals, so u need to be in a lighter sleep state to pick up on them. perform wbtb then put on your dreamer mask and see if u can catch the signals. If that doesn't work combine ada technique with it. hope this helps namaste.

Awareness (ADA is one of many techniques that uses it) alone will induce lucids. Since you have to train yourself to be aware enough to catch the signals sent by the machine, that sort of defeats the purpose of the product.

Thanks, I'll try this and ya I kinda wanted to train myself naturally, but my Dad really wanted to get the REM dreamer. I've been trying to do ADA but can never manage to remember so Ive just been trying with RCs. I'll try to stick with it this time.

Bravo REM Dreamer, but it takes some self-training and calibration. I bought one after losing an ebay auction for a Nova Dreamer (luckily, as even used it would have cost more than double). Over the last 4 weeks or so, I've used it about 12 times. The first time, I was in a non-lucid dream climbing some rocks, saw a lightning flash, and rather than becoming lucid simply said to myself "I'll have to be careful not to jump from rock to rock while the lightning is flashing." Other initial experiences included being awoken by the flashing lights if set too high. Finally, this morning I awoke at around 6 AM, set the delay for 30 minutes, had trouble falling back asleep, and was awake when it did two series of flashes over the next 15 minutes or so. Each time, I watched the flashes and said to myself "Flashing lights means I'm dreaming," hoping this would transfer to the dream state later on. I eventually fell asleep, had a non-lucid dream, and then became lucid during a continuation of that dream when I decided to try floating. I didn't see lights, but maybe I did subconsciously and then did the reality test (trying to float). As I tend to have lucid dreams only when I do a technique (e.g., WBTB, tactile imagery, energy work such as the microcosmic orbit, or galantamine plus choline), I do attribute this LD to the REM dreamer, even though I did combine it with tactile imagery and rocking my energy body back and forth along the length of my physical body. Looking forward to when the speaker is available for purchase. With the REM dreamer it seems very important to find one's own optimal levels of flash brightness, length of the series, detector sensitivity, etc., and to work on programming the brain with the meaning of flashes within a dream. Overall, I'm very impressed with the device, communication with the seller, packaging, the instruction book (now very clear). My only concern is whether it might damage the exposed circuitry over time to take out and put it back into the mask each time it is used.
