Thread: Muse S headband (for REM-detection in custom LD-induction app)

Another (partial) night session:


The brief segment at the end, was brief because I gained lucidity! And once I did, I started looking around at the beautiful scenery. Which, made the "eeg activity" counter go up, triggering the second level bed-shaker prompt, which I felt very clearly in my dream, and woke me up.

Spoiler for Journal entry:

Talking to really tall person, in what seems like a basketball court; I suddenly (over the course of a couple seconds) realize just how crazily tall they are.

Me: "Woah, you're like really, really tall."
Him: "You just realized that?"
Me: "How tall *are* you?"
Him: "10 feet"
Me: "But how come we don't know of you? Like, the world record right now is 8 foot something."

I then realize someone this tall is unrealistic, and realize its a dream. I then leave the boring scenery, jumping over wall at edge of court, finding grassy park area behind it.

The dream continues nicely, and I do some tests regarding limiting body motion, and seeing if that keeps the dream more stable. It seems to work, until I move my eyes around enough (while looking at beautiful scenery, of dirt road area with tons of trees around) that my bed-shaker alarm triggers. I was holding it over my chest apparently, so I felt the vibration on both my chest and in my hand (but mostly the former). This woke me up in a couple seconds, as confirmed with camera gesture.

I'm not really disturbed by that however, since that's what I planned/expected. For now I'm just trying to increase the rate of lucidity induction. Later, I will work on adding a system to disable the prompts with a special eye movement (most likely, looking at one's nose / going cross-eyed, as that's not a motion one normally performs). I haven't added it yet due to laziness + focusing on induction only for now. (well, induction + training to reenter a dream easily on waking up from one)
