      Lucidity signal bar. Great idea!!!

      I just thought of a great lucid task. When you become lucid say "lucid signal bar NOW," or something along those lines to see if a bar or reading comes up of what stage or the amount of lucidity you have.

      What do you think?

      I think if you set the stage by making your lucid dream seem as though you're the character in a video game (or something along those lines) and what you see is the screen, this could work. I'm skeptic of how accurate it would be though, especially since an external factor could easily wake us up without our brain telling us that it's finished with dream.

      hahaha no dude.
      "signal" like a bar that you see in your line of sight that tells you how lucid you are,how close you are to waking up naturally etc.
      that'd be pretty cool, but it'd only show what you'd want to see, therefore you'd be more lucid because you're paying more attention to the dream.
      good idea though

      I'd rather focus on actually improving it than distracting myself with a signal bar. Like, what purpose would the bar serve?

      Haha, I thought that's what it said too, at first.

      I agree with Shift that a bar might be a little distracting. Interesting idea, though. I wonder if it would actually work?

      it could just be an experiment. the purpose is if it works, when the signal starts going low you could spin around before its too late. it prob. wont work lol, but its somthing to try

      I'll try it, but I have a feeling it's not going to work and just distract me. >_o

      this wouldnt work unless you could somehow measure how lucid you were, then once you had calculated that into a percentage, you could then fill up the bar accordingly. even if you were able to do that, what is full lucididty? you would need to know that to be able to know how much to fill the bar.

      unless of course your sub consious can do that, then sure, this is great.

      I think that it would have the same effect of looking at the time on a clock...

      Well, as for distracting you from lucidity, I don't know about you guys, but I don't have a lucid bar in my vision lol

      So, it could be a good tool for maintaining lucidty, by seeing it, you know you are dreaming.

      My lucid dreams, while common, are precious things when they are occuring. Any attempt of mine to force a 'conscious mind thought' such as a signal bar would probably whisk me right out of the LD... which, for me, is like crushing a rose.
