Let's make a list of what nova dreamer alternatives we know about in this thread. Please post the link to the site as well as if you used it and would you rec it to someone else.
I'll go first: http://www.REMDreamer.com
Have not used it, but thinking about it.
What others do you know of?
Also, I know some websites may still be selling nova dreamers. If you find a site that is, post a link to it. :)
I did find the following websites that supposedly sell NovaDreamers .. but I haven't ordered from these companies so order at your own risk!Quote:

P.S.. If you have seizures.. you probably should stay away or clear using such devices with your doctor.
Thanks for your post Clairity.
I'm a big fan of your DJ :D
I just ordered the Dream Maker from http://www.wellnesstolls.com
Hey Clairity, Do you still use your Nova Dreamer? Would you say your sucess with LD's have alot to do with the mask? (sorry if that's a lill off topic)
Thanks urdreamboy, I'm glad you like my dream journal.. I've been kinda lax about it but I had a wonderful LD this Easter morning that I just posted there.Quote:

You can record your voice or anything for about 2 minutes into the Dreamspeaker and, when the NovaDreamer senses that you are in REM, the Dreamspeaker turns on and plays your recording. I have gotten lucid numerous times by having the Dreamspeaker play a recording of my voice saying "I am dreaming.. this is all a dream.. do a reality check now!".
You can read about the DreamSpeaker here: http://www.kirlian.org/lucidream.htm and here: http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~art511_j/em...XDreamWare.htm
I wouldn't say that alot of my success is due to the NovaDreamer (as you still have to do exercises and study, etc.) but it definately got me started in lucid dreaming and I have never regretted buying it.
While doing a google search I found this link, I remembered this
topic and thought I would share it with you maybe it will be of intrest
to someone.

WOW this looks really good. I am sitting right now, seriously considering to build these ... On the other hand, my DIY projects has a tendency to fall apart in minuttes :? It would be very hard to make it durable enough for me to sleep with ...Quote:

I'm currently trying to figure out how to connect two LED's to the parallel port of your laptop. I'm thinking you can use the Windows task manager to set them to start blinking after 20 or so minutes after you WBTB. (Won't detect REM; you'll just have to work out when your dreaming starts). The only thing I need to figure out is how to write a program that will tell the parallel port to "blink" like every 20 or 30 seconds. I know it's stupid simple, but I don't know anything about programming. Some guys on an electronics forum are helping me, but I might need to go to a programming forum.
Soon as I know more, I'll post a tutorial. Unless someone here knows about programming and hardware and stuffs. Then you should post a tutorial!
I've never heard about DreamSpeaker but having REM Dreamer I made recently a kinda rig ( REMD + comp + ear-in headphones ) to do the same. The only problem is that since then everytime I try to use I can't get asleep from excitement:( Perhaps I need some time to cool off. Anyhow it is good to know that it works as I was going to give it up.Quote:

I was more successful with natural dreeam supplements like Galantamine.
Hello, bumping a dead post, but can someone who has built the Kvasar provide a tutorial? I can read electronics schematics, but I'm still not sure how to assemble everything.
I e-mailed the originator, but I haven't received a reply.
Anyone try to build the Kvasar?
I think the schematic is pretty straight-forward, but I don't want to mess this up...
Anyone else seen this.
Make a Lucid Dream Mask for $3 - Video
i want to use a computer mouse to make mine like in this How to Make a Simple REM Detector for $10
couldnt you possibly just use the guts of a motion sensor knick knack that says something or does something when you walk past, and put the camera deal on a mask and somehow rig up lights to flash while there is movement ? seems a lot simpler
If anybody is interested, I have schematic and board files in Eagle format for the Kvasar. I have built it and I will verify that it works as per the website. If interested, send me a PM.
