What is it that the REMdreamer does good, what the Aurora doesn't? Since you said in earlier posts you have lucid dreams every night thanks to the REMdreamer.

I'm curious because i really think the concept will work. I have a REMdreamer but i just cannot fall asleep with the thing on because it is so uncomfortable. I want to order the Arora but am not totally convinced yet..
Hi, its important to know that DEILD is my preferred way of becoming lucid and thats why I use these devices to wake me up rather than trying to make lights infiltrate my dreams. The RemDreamer's REM detection is excellent in the way that it detects eye movement and the light cues are always reliable and on cue. The Aurora detect REM quite well but not as much as RemDreamer. However this is not an issue because Aurora is a 'learning' device; the more sleep date the iWinks team gather the more they can tweak, twist & tone their algorithms, so its only going to get better. They really are committed to this product, thats for sure and I dont doubt that very soon their REM detection will be unfallable. There are teething problems but thats to be expected in a new product

Once their REM detecting algorithms are as reliable as Remdreamer then they are pretty much untouchable in my opinion. Its important to understand the Aurora and RemDreamer use completely different ways of detecting REM.

My biggest issue with RemDreamer is it is very much like strapping a small car to your face wheras Aurora is very comfortable. Theres also the advantage of looking at in depth sleep data every day which shows when you was in rem, light sleep, deep sleep etc and for how long. The Aurora has huge potential not only for lucid dreamers but for sleep tracking, smart alarms etc

My Remdreamer has now been abandoned, I dont think I'll be wearing it again, for me, the future is Aurora
