      External stimuli effectiveness?

      Hi,

      From what I've read, things like the novadreamer work fine to begin with but then with a few weeks usage, the effectiveness starts to wear off? This seems strange to me, as I would have thought that you'd grow accustomed to recognising that certain stimulus in a dream? Why is this? Also, would this apply to a sound stimulus?

      Thanks,
      FF

      I believe the logic is that after a few weeks you stop noticing it. I'd say it could work either way? Either you would form a habit and get it everytime, or you would stop recognizing it while dreaming because you are so used to it.

      I'm not really sure, but thats what I would think.

      I only know that when I fall asleep listening to an autosuggestion mp3, I can't fall asleep unless I tune it out. Therefore, when I'm in my dream, it's still playing, but I don't hear it.

      I haven't yet tried setting an alarm and having it turn on after I've fallen asleep.
      In dreams of unspeakable joy—of restored friendships; of revived embraces; of love which said it had never died; of faces that had vanished long ago, yet said with smiling lips that they knew nothing of the grave; of pardons implored, and granted with such bursting floods of love, that I was almost glad I had sinned—thus I passed through this wondrous twilight. —George MacDonald

      I used the Brain Bullet program for the time i was on the computer yesterday, and I got nothing, and it's going right now, I doubt it will work though.
      WILDs - 38
      MILD/DILDs - 44
      VILDs - 8
      TILDs - 1 (Thirst Induced Lucid Dream, never going through that experience again...)
      Total: 98 - So close to the big 100
