What I'm doing is kinda....common by now but I thought I'd post it anyways so here goes...

Test Objective :

To trigger lucidity using an external light cue or at least auto-suggest a lucid dream as a result of using the light.


How It's Done :

Entire lucid dream session starts at 7am. There will be a main timer to activate the setup at 7am. The setup will comprise a resettable timer that will delay the light cue for 25min after it is activated by the main timer at 7am. Reason for the 25min delay is for me to have time to fall back to sleep when I wake up. A reset switch held in the hand will cause the resettable timer to start back from 0 so that means I can fall back to sleep without worrying about the 25min by resetting it as and when until I fall asleep. Then when I do fall asleep the light cue itself will come on when activated by the resettable timer. The light cue itself will come on for 3 times in a row with ON duration of 2s and OFF duration of 4s after which it will cease for 10 min and then another 3 times. This 10min cycle goes on indefinitely until the reset switch is activated to reset the resettable timer to off the light cue cycle and count from 0 to 25min again.


Light Cue Used :

One 300w halogen floodlight directed at the ceiling to diffuse and direct an even spread of light to the eyes so the light will not loose intensity even when I'm sleeping on my side. Controlling light intensity is via dimmer.

I've done all of the above so now it's a matter of.."DOES IT WORK?"....
