Experimenting with binaural and isochronic beats...

[Pops715]

I've downloaded a few apps onto my iPhone and one on my iPad in an effort to improve my dream recall and increase my chances of having a lucid dream. Last night, I started experimenting with the first one, called Brainwave Dream Inducer by Banzai Labs. It has five settings: Delta REM, Theta REM, Alpha REM, Beta REM and Lucid Dreaming. I'm keeping a record of which track I listen to each night and recording the results. I decided to start with the Delta REM track since it's first on the list, and I ended up getting an unexpected result. I was laying in bed, with the lights out, listening to the Delta REM with "Pink Noise" selected for Ambience. I wasn't asleep yet but was at the point where my mind was beginning to wander, daydream, whatever you want to call it. All of a sudden, I heard my Dad call my name very clearly. It sounded like he was right beside or behind me and it startled me because my Dad passed away back in February. My first thought was that I must be dreaming, so I did a few reality checks, which all failed; I was awake. I continued to lay there until I fell asleep but dreamed like normal. Tonight I'm going to try the Theta REM setting.
