Thread: Whilst I await the AURORA

We are on a social app on the web where I was given a download link to Borealis, the platform iWinks uses to down load the sleep statistics and upload the various programs that we are using. There will be over 50 testers in total with more being added as the testing continues. Currently I'm using one program on the site. Its called REM Stimulation. Within the program you can control certain functions such as the initial time the device waits before presenting the light stimulation, also the minimum amount of time between the successive stimulation as well as the color and brightness of the lights. There is also extra data that can be collected by Aurora such as EEG, Heart rate, and accelerometer details. Let me tell you, this device is sturdy and well made. So I guess you can say its in lucid dreaming mode right now. It fits very comfortably, and I like it better than the REM Dreamer pro because of the placement of the unit. Any other questions you have I can answer if I haven't been clear enough here.

MY AURORA HAS SHIPPED!!!! Finally it should be here within days. My angle on this is that I only use one method to become lucid and its VERY effective and also very simple to learn. Its not my invention but a fusing of CanWild and DEILD using an alarm.

The technique is to fall asleep and then have an alarm (Remee, music, vibrating watch etc) rouse you from your dream. Then keep dead still and watch as your body falls back asleep whilst you retain a pearl of awareness and you will almost always be transported into a dream, or more commonly an 'obe' (dream that begins in a replica of your bedroom)

Ive never understood why lucid mask manuals (Remee, RemDreamer, Novadreamer etc) try to teach people to recognize light cues within the dream as this seems to have a low success rate where as waking yourself during a dream using a device and then falling back asleep with awareness (WILD) is hugely effective and only takes seconds ......... oh and you dont have to worry about daily reality checks either.

I was chosen for an early unit by iWinks as I can bring a lot to the party as I am experienced at 'light induced' lucid dreaming so I can give feedback on the best (albeit general) settings for maximum effect.

Once Ive used Aurora for a few weeks then the reviews will start to appear on the forums

The iWinks team are in this for the long haul, unlike Remee who just hit n run with their product. The Aurora will set the benchmark for future lucid dreaming devices.

DEILD cannot be beaten for an effective technique and Aurora will be a great tool to enable DEILD to maximum effect

Im rambling now so goodnight
