what the heck is a LD mask?
They can cost a substantial amount of money only to achieve something you could have done for free.
Although they can be useful, they are by no means neccesary.
No opinion I don't have the money for one so I wouldnt know.Quote:

Occasionally, people will hear a sound in real life and it will be incorporated into their dream, but only very rarely. I doubt that the light stimuli will be able to incorporate into the dream - and if it is picked up, I think it would be more likely you would just be woken up. I think it's very possible that people buy the mask, and flashing is incorporated into their dreams because they are expecting it.
Anyway, that's just my opinion, and I could definitely be wrong. Still, I think normal techniques work just as well.
I hardly doubt that these actually work, it looks like a placebo effect.
yeah when I saw this pic advetising it I new it was bullshit. I mean, its a bunch of animated jarggin:
I hope you are kidding. This is out of context entirely. It's from http://cre.ations.net/creation/face-...-dreaming-mask, and it's a joke inserted by the author into his tutorial.Quote:

There was a "section" on it on the Human Body: Pushing the Limits Discovery special...
Still... the flashing light is just another dreamsign you would have to train yourself to recognize. And once your Lucid the light will continue flashing, messing with your dream. I would not like that.
I'd like to try it though. but I would not want to pay to try it. And I would have to discover I liked it a hell of a lot before spending money to own one.
They do work, but it's a waste of money when you can LD for free. I can see why someone who makes electronics as a hobby might consider making their own (there's instructions online somewhere), but actually buying a good one will cost at least $50, and possibly a lot more, that you could be spending on something better.
That looks like an absolute waste of money.
