I just have a quick question about the audio cues. Does the audio cue start every time the app detects you have reached REM sleep or does it just play periodically through the night? I haven't heard the cue in my dreams yet but I've only been using it for two days thus far.
Other than that, the graph is pretty accurate on when I wake/dream. Good job!
Says I had three dreams last night which cant be right. Im going to positon in a different position tonight. I have tried audio cues before using a cd on loop all night and they didn't integrate into my dreams so I used this app to wake me up by me saying, 'Dont Move!' five times in a row. It worked once to wake me up. Going to try entering lucids outside of a normal dream using Michael Raduga's techniques, though my chances will be significantly reduced as I have essentially used an alarm to wake me.
I placed my phone further down the bed near my pelvis thinking the sensitivity would be improved and my sleep graph was much more telling. Four spikes at roughly one and a half hour intervals. I hooked my phone to some external speakers and turned the volume up nice and loud, too loud in fact. I awoke from four dreams but the auditory shock was too great and ruined any chances I had of performing a DEILD. I much prefer this to the Singularity app as it is much easier to understand and is very workable. I shall reduce the volume tonight and continue to find the sweet spot...
Nice App! , I downloaded it. I'll try it tonight!
Just tried it last night, had the audio cue at a bout half volume and it woke me up, yet I slept through the alarm at full volume and missed second period... The graph looked extremely accurate though, I guess i'll try again with a lower volume audio cue and set my own alarm
Im still trying to fnd the best volume. It also seems the alarm isn't activating when Im dreaming otherwise it would definately wake me.
I never hear the dream sounds during the night. The very first night I used this app, I almost had a lucid becaue of it, but since then, I've pretty much never even noticed them. Some time ago I switched to music, after the update that allowed music from the iPod as a dream sound, but it seems the songs loop and doesn't stop..
I love this app - only been using 3 days now tho' - graph seems pretty accurate too - like how you can record your dreams to Dream log as soon as you wake up.
My audio cue is "You are dreaming. Do a reality check"
Will post results ....
Nice, this app looks like it'll be pretty good. I already use those Sleep Cycle apps that monitor your sleep cycles to wake you up when you're least likely to be tired and they work pretty well. I've been waiting for something like this. I think I'm going to have that French song from Inception as my audio cue. =P
I am going to give the android app a go tonight/this week. I have access to actigraphy watches, so it might be interesting to see how well they match.
I tried it out last night and had varied results. At first I fell asleep for about 80 minutes but then woke up suddenly and couldn't go back to sleep for about 4 hours. I heard it remind me a couple times during this waking period. The third and fourth time I heard it I was asleep but I think I had it too loud because I ended up waking up because of it. After that I think I must have accidentally slept on it cause I didn't hear anything else, lol. I need to find better placement and figure out the right volume. I'll try round 2 tonight.
I have heard the Dream sound a couple of times now but that has been whilst half awake. Had the volume at about 1/4 so will try it at 1/2 for a few nights - I think it will take some playing around with the volume setting to get it right - everyone will be different I suppose. Fun playing around though, and keeps me focussed on attempting LD.
Last night I was using the app. I had a lucid dream but I don't remember te beginning, so I don't know if the app was what caused it. It's promising tho
I tried the app out it never really worked well for me
I've had 5 lucid dreams the past three-four nights since I started to use this app. I cant tell if it's because of the app cuz when I go lucid, I dont remember hearing anything but I also cant find out any other reason for going lucid, I can only remember that I just for NO reason at all find out that im dreaming.. And since i've started to use the app it feels like I wake up a lot at nights right after my dreams or inbetween or whatever.. Not sure if the sound wakes me up and i forget about it or not.. Cuz I've woken up from the actual sound like 3 times aswell. Great app though even though I would like a more easy-to-read time between all the rems. Can't really see what time the rems happen. or how long each rem is.
Does anybody know if there is anything like this on android? or there is any known development of this on Android? I really want this now... :(
Ok the last couple of days I've had very short total dreamtimes and in the night as I'm sleeping it feels like im up the whole night but everytime i look at the clock its different times so I guess I've just learnt to notice the times i wake up after the REM but I feel like i get worse sleep like this and I wonder if its due to the app. maybe the sound wakes me up too much, ill try lower volume but im almost sure i just wont even hear it then.
I had a total dreamtime of 45 minutes last night, that means i only had 45 min rem? And I slept total 8.5 hours so... Yea whatsup.
EDIT: I was quite drunk when i went to bed though.
Well, I think this app is working for me. I had one LD and two dreams close to an LD. So in the first one, my ipod started going off and I had to mess with it. Then I had this feeling like something wasn't quite right, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I am guessing my ipod going off in real life transferred over into my dream.
In the second one, I did a reality check for no reason whatsoever and became lucid. I am guessing it is because of the app.
In the third one, I was having dreams closely related to LDs, but I wasn't quite lucid. I don't think this one was due to the app though.
Why does hitting the back button erase all of your data? I was really looking forward to seeing all of my sleep stages and after I hit the "wake up" button, I hit back and it erased all of my data.
Ugh, now I have to wait another day...
That doesn't look too good...

Um, I wrote down two of my dreams, so...

Um, I recommend that you allow people to voice record dreams without hitting the wake up button, because I use the voice memo app on my ipod as a dream journal. Just saying...
Thanks, one of the features of the next update is actually the option to add manual sleep sessions (and record dreams)Quote:

Although it has deleted some of my DJs, it has been great help waking me up to remember a dream and being right there to write it down.
Hmm, I've just got this app and it looks quite promising. Only thing is, I sleep on quite a hard mattress so will this make it hard for the Ipod to sense movement? Thanks!
