Thread: REM Dreamer: Early Impressions

I have the REMdreamer, and it works great for me.
It takes some time getting used to and adjusting, but then it's a good help.
I stopped using it for a few months, but started using it again two weeks ago, already two LD's, yes. (last one this morning)
Except that this morning's LD was actually terminated by the REMdreamer.
I dreamt that I walked into my living room, everything was very orderly, the place had been redecorated, I thought 'no way', I did the hand RC and realised I was dreaming.
I was hovering in my living room, thinking what to do next when the lights started flashing to tell me I was dreaming. Thanks I know that already! And I woke up. Which appeared to be a false awakening, you will have those alot whit this device. And I woke up again from the dream alarm.
But apart from this experience, it helped me get LD's, including the first one, so I think it's a good tool.

I resurrect this, I d like to know if the testers have more results to report.

I agree that the mind is a very powerful tool but why not use something to help it?
It's like you refuse to use a calculator for maths.
Anyway, Crono1000, Lucifer the Lucid and yoast what do you think of these devise after all these months? do you recommend it or not?

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum, but I'm finding your replies really exciting! How great, a community of people who found each other to help awaken and enlighten each other. Fantastic.
I've only had one LD in my life,and am anxious to get more. Maybe b/c I've taken so many drugs but weird dreams just seem way too normal, so, I'm just about to buy the Rem-Dreamer, based on Lucifer and other's experiences w/it.
I got another newsletter from the Lucidity Institute stating they were planning to release the Novadreamer 2 this spring, but I have a feeling that it will be extremely expensive- like 500 bucks and it may not even be out on time..
So, I'll let ya'll know how the RemDreamer works for me.

It sounds awesome. If I ever have $160 to waste I'll buy it

Regardless of if the device itself actually makes you become lucid. It has two pros that I can see from reading the user reviews.

A) It wakes you up during your dreams, this is great for improving dream recall.

B) It wakes you up during your dreams, which is the exact thing you need for MILD.

Has anyone tried to wild with it?

I don't own one but the seem interesting and, so far the best alternative to a defunt novadreamer.

Welcome Orof (Nice Username )
It's right, the REM-dreamer is from Poland.
There is a section here where you can introduce yourself instead of here
http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...splay.php?f=20

Hi folks,

I am Polish therefore had no problem in contacting that chap and getting it after 2 weeks in London. Anyway...
After a dozens of attempts ended with failure I dropped this device into a cupboard. I like the idea but somehow it doesnt go through my dream even with the strongest settings. Number of alarms goes between 25-30. Then as it often triggers on between REM cycles ( just move a bit and the damage is done ) it wakes me up. For some time I lost my patience and switched into Lucid Dreamer pills with almost instant lucid. Unfortunately I couldn't repead it but there is much space for adjustment and improvement.
Recently as I lost patience also for pills I looked back at REM Dreamer. This time I decided to take more serious and scientific approach. Firstly usig a comp and microphone I made a record of my REM cycles. It was 1 night so far and I had kind of insomniac experience so finally went to bed at 2.36. Next day when I read the sound outcome it turned out that during 8 hours of sleep I had only 3 REM cycles after 2,5,6 hours and about 30min each. I am going to continue this research to find out about my individual REM pattern.

While working on that I realised that now with ease I can turn into life an idea that I had some time ago. Adding to REM Dreamer a verbal communicate like: "This is a dream and everything around you is your creation. If you don't believe think what's your name and how did you get here?" It could be heard on earplug phones and with a proper volume it might be a powerful tool.
I am going to assemly it soon and give you some report.

If anybody is interested in making the same REM Rig here are some details:
You need:
- REM Dreamer
- computer
- audio trigger software like "Audio Zone Trigger" - it responds to a sound via microphone or line in and turns on any appl. or audio file
- earplug phones
- soldering device, wires, jack plugs

Find a speaker in REM Dreamer. Connect ( solder) independly its - and + to microphone or line in ( more safe ) input of your comp.
Set REM D. signal to only quiet short sound.
Record a verbal communicate on your comp.
Set the software properly - input audio line, noise threshold, audio file etc.
Set REM d. time, put it on, put on earplug phones and DREAM ON!

bought the rem dreamer goggles after about 2 weeks of trying to achieve a lucid dream.
the first week i was mainly correcting the settings so that the brightness of the led's and the amount of times it flashes in succession suited my depth of sleep. (first few nights it woke me up but after tweaking, was fine).
next 2 weeks were extremely exciting. had many experiences where the flashing lights would manifest in my dream in odd ways, and i'd suddenly realise that these manifestations were my goggles telling me im dreaming, but id get too excited and instantly wake up.
after more tweaking of the settings i achieved my first ever lucid. in this case, the flashing led's appearded to me as a man striking a lighter close to my face in the same sequence that i know the led's flash. i managed to compose myself when realising it was the goggles and voila, i bust my cherry.
i have since achieved lucidity without the goggle also, so using them does not restrict you to using ONLY the goggles.

i must add that i was able to achieve this by also following strict routines that everybody must when starting out. dream journal, affirmation etc.

I have been using light cues for over a year but although it does enter the dream state the mind still fails to recognize the cue.... I do not use goggles or a mask but a simple light that diffuses from the ceiling onto the eyes but the mind has to be capable of filtering out 'dream excuses' when the light hits REM state which can range from anything like a mundane lightbulb turning on to an explosion...as long as that is not fixed the user will not recognize any cues that come from outside. I think after experimenting with light cues....it depends on person to person. Sometimes it may work for one person and not for the other because of the way the dreaming mind extrapolates outside cues into the dream. Like what LuciferThe Lucid described his mask working that's because the dreaming mind knew what and where the lights were coming from. And for my case it did just that...the lights had menifested as THE LIGHT from my device/light but in the dream I was fixing up a new light for the system and did not react to it. A possible way to fix the recognizing issue is to set the light in a pattern that is easily picked up by the dreaming mind...like say blinking 3 times would mean it's the light cue and not any other light.

I have this device and the best method for me is the reality check method using the button on the front. It beeps when its pressed telling you you're still awake. If you try to press during your dream the subconscious is not able to create the unnatural "beep" sound/mechanism and thus you won't get a beep, telling you that you are dreaming. I successfully triggered a lucid dream 3 times in one night with this.

For example, I'd go to the bathroom and push the button only for it to not beep. Then you're lucid.

For people who like the flashing light method there are a lot of settings for sensitivity and length to customize. There is also a sound box now where you can record your own voice that plays while you're dreaming.

Hi,

I recently found this site and have been learning the language of the lucid dreamer. I have had about 40 or so lucid dreams in my life, I guess, and want one every night. I found out about the Nova Dreamer (Nova Dreamer II will probably run $800 - $1000 according to: The NovaDreamer Lucid Dream Mask: A Review and the REM Dreamer.

I found the REM Dreamer, currently selling at $147 Euro Cart*. I am having a hard time parting with that money, though few things would be a better investment.

I need to practice RC's during the day.

Thanks to all for the reviews. I will get a REM Dreamer some day.
