Thread: LD Induction Tech in 2018

There are two kickstarter devices that are going to be shipped quite soon

First one is iWinks's Aurora which works on the same basis that Stephen LaBerge's own lucid dreaming induction device did. It is a headband that detects whether you're in a dream (REM phase) and flashes setup by you lights color and pattern to help you become lucid.

This kind of device combined with WBTB n' MILD gives highest lucidity success rate possible according to LaBerge

Spoiler for example way to do it:

Before hitting the bed, you turn on device, tell yourself "Next time I see pink light flashes (example light cue you setup in device) I will remember to do reality check"
Then you fall asleep, once you are in a dream, device detects it, and starts flashing lights, you notice in dream the light cue, and instantly remember that you had to do reality check when that cue shows up (thanks to above MILD prospective memory mantra). Then you become lucid and do reality check. Or you can just skip reality check, but I always make sure through reality check that its really a dream.

Second is one that works the way you mentioned in OP, The Luciding's LucidCatcher.
It detects rem phase, same way as aurora but instead of lights, it zaps your brain (cerebral cortex) with safe? Alternating Current of 40 Hz
It might be able to cause lucidity but there's no confirmation beyond one study that a lot of people called biased, so i'm skeptical about its working.
And I don't really like idea of zapping my brain with electricity.

I don't own Aurora or any device for lucid induction though, so you won't get firsthand experience from me
Also, both of these devices are supposed to be shipping 2018 February - March, so we might get some firsthand experiences posted around here. Both are on kickstarter and got their websites if you're looking for them.

I'd actually be quite happy with it.
I feel that in the future, devices will communicate with our brains through electrical impulses (this will be massive for dream technology), so I've already come to terms with the idea of getting my brain zapped.

I actually gotta check out that LucidCatcher.
