So... I have just registered here so apologies if this is in the wrong area.

I have lucid dreamed for as long as I can remember, I have 3 dreams I remember from childhood and the lucidity keeps getting greater and greater. I have never kept a dream journal or used anything other than music to create a space within sleep.

Last night I downloaded a load of binaural beats in the Theta range, put them on my ipod, plugged in and dozed off. The effect was quite the opposite of what I expected...

I woke within my dream in a lucid state but with the Theta tone still playing in my head. I removed the headphones so the tone would stop but it kept going. I then went about some other unusual things to try to stop the tone but this did not work. After a while I realised I was in a dream, went into a self induced sleep paralysis then woke with the tones playing in the real world.

My question is, has anyone else had a similar experience of a semi lucid state on the Binaural beats or has anyone had a very positive experience?
