There has been much discussion about the Nova Dreamer and Dreamaker. I own
the latter and offered my opinions on it in the active post. I am actually pretty
satisfied with it.

The main complaint I heard, is that it's too expensive at ~$250.00.

Here's a suggestion. Sometimes when I wear the mask, it doesn't detect REM and
doesn't go off. However, it often gets incorporated into my dream (since the sensation
of the mask can affect the dream synthesis).

I often have one of two effects:

1) I dream I have a mask on but can see through it.
2) I have a false awakening and find the mask uncomfortable.

The point here, is even wo/ the Mask detecting, it is generating dream signs.

I have used a plain old sleep mask and achieved the same result. I have a bulky cotton
sleep mask that's a little uncomfortable. If I use it occasionally - not giving my brain a
chance to get used to it - it tends to get incorporated into my dreams.

There you have it, a semi-effective lucid dream mask for about $15.00.

Enjoy
