My first official thread...my first thread at all. I am reviewing iphone apps that are supposed to help lucidity
Here goes!
************************************************** *********
1.**Attractor by Dataca Corp**
This amazing app is well worth it's price, and the very customizable!
facts:This app relies on binaural beats to set your mind at the right sleep/meditate frequency.
Pros:Uses the same method of Theta Pack - Lucid Dreaming and Meditation. That is, gradual induction. Includes the option of playing a recorded message once set frequency is achieved. Includes strobe light option. Lets you customize alot! Includes some great background noises, and the option to leave them alone.
Cons.Only allows up to one hour of induction. A little hard for a beginner who does not know alot about lucid dreaming, and binaural sounds.
Overall:Amazing app, well worth it's price. Get it only if you know what your doing, be sure to read the included instructions.
2.**Binaural Beats by rockifone.com**
This application is absolutely FREEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Facts:This app relies on binaural beats to set your mind at the right sleep/meditate frequency.
(The following facts are courtesy of http://www.rockifone.com/)
- 9 Binaural toneseep dreamless sleep, Dream creation, Deep meditation, Memory helper, Lullaby, Headache killer, Relaxation, Concentration, Busy thinking.
- 7 preset themes with binaural beats:
*Pre-sleep induction
*Headache killer
*Quick relaxation
*Study aid
*Deep meditation
*Memory helper
*Busy thinking
- 6 Background noises:
*Autumn Wind
*Calm sea
*Heavy rain with thunder
*Hurricane
*Rain forest
*Soft tide
- 16 Ambient Noises: Birds; Bubbles; Campfire; Chimes; Clock; Corbie; Creek; Crickets; Owl; Rain; Rain (heavy); River; Seagulls; Thunder; Waterfall; Wind in trees
The app also includes the option to make a customizable theme.
Pros:Includes many options, is extremely customizable, and can run for 24 hours straight! Includes background noises.
Cons:The binaural sounds aren't the most enjoyable, or relaxing to listen to. They are somewhat annoying, but can be disquised with background sounds. Does not include a direct option for lucid dreaming.
Overall:Binaural beats background noises are realistic, and calming. They help to cover up the somewhat unpleasent binaural sounds. I have not tried to use it for lucid dreaming, but I suspect that the meditation/dream maker option would have the same effect as Brain Hack
3.**Brain-Hack by Aravind**
This nifty little app is just under 2mb, and costs only $1.99!!!
facts:This app relies on binaural beats to set your mind at the right sleep/meditate frequency.
Options include:
-Alertness
-Brain Power
-Confidence
-Creativity
-High Focus
-Lucid Dreams
-Meditate
-Relax
-Sleep aid
-Stress Learning
-Stream(Sound effect)
-Rain(sound effect)
-Universe(Sound-effect)
-White Noise(Sound effect)
Pros:Binaural beats are ussualy effective, and backed my tons of scientific research. These binaural sounds are by far the most pleasent, and clear binaural beats I have ever heard.
Consoes not include the option to listen to sound effects while listening to binaural sounds. Cannot be run in background. Sounds can only be played for up to an hour.
Overall:BrainHack is an amazing price, and does amazing things for me. My first night did not directly induce any lucid dreams, but led to several false awakenings, which I then did a reality check in. Boom! Lucidity.
4.**Theta Pack - Lucid Dreaming and Meditation by Christian Helge Sivertsen**
This somewhat pricy app has two focuses:Meditation, and lucidity!
facts:This app relies on binaural beats to set your mind at the right sleep/meditate frequency. Unlike most apps, it starts at your own likely frequency, and gradually reduces to your selected frequency.
Pros:Goes gradually, increasing your likeliness of induction.Apps sole purpose is lucid dreaming, and meditation, making it a likely choice.
Cons:Is pricey, times out somewhat quickly.
Overall:Although it's method is nice, I don't recommend Theta Pack - Lucid Dreaming and Meditation due to its cost, and cons.
