Thread: Build Your Own Lucid Dreaming Mask

Also, I've got one ordered, I'll let you guys know how well it works.

its quite simple. we dream when our brain we have REM (rapid eye movement) you have many REM periods during that night that happen at certain intervals... you can look it up if you really want to know. but they can time a light to turn on so that when your in REM you can see signs in your dreams that are telling you that your dreaming.

It doesn't, it's a cheap version. It is set to go off during the sleep cycle later during the night when you're in REM. Almost everybody's sleep cycles follow this pattern, and while there are some variations, the later REM periods are so long it doesn't matter.

I also received the mask today. The guy even included two batteries, what a giver.

I lack a soldering iron at the moment though, and school is being nasty at the moment, so I won't be able to do anything with it until this weekend. I will get a soldering iron by then, hopefully.

I will certainly let you know how it goes.
