does anyone know how to make a lucid dream mask?

Ive been watching some videos on youtube about homemade lucid dreaming masks , but they don't really go into very much detail on how to make one.

I was just wondering if anyone has successfully made one of their own, or does anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to make one?

They don't seem like very complex devices , and from some of the price tags associated with some devices like the nova dreamer , they seem a bit overpriced.

No idea but that would be really cool. I'll be interested to hear more helpful replies than this one

Ask kraid. I know he's been working on creating one in the past. He's usually in chat.

Generally home made lucid dream masks do not detect rem sleep, instead you would set them with a timer, then the produce stimuli. Dream masks such as the nova dreamer detect rem then produce a stimuli which is more effective. If you were interested in timed stimuli you might be better off using somethign such as "sleep as an droid" app on a droid phone and recording your movement to detect your rem cycles intervals. once you have that information make an audio file that will play at said interval (birds chirping or something... somethign you can reality check.) in theory this would work just as well as the home made mask and not be as expensive or take the time to make just to now work that well. GOOD LUCK

does anyone know how the nova dreamer detects the eye movement? what kind of sensor would you need?

Try an accelerometer with a resolution of 3660µg and a measurement range of ±5g (49 m/s2). I am working on these babies: lucidcode - Halographs.

The software is available as freeware - let me know if you need help writing a plugin for Lucid Scribe for the hardware you end up with.

And if you are just looking for something that blinks or plays recordings throughout the night you can try Liquid Dream.
