Thread: REM DReamer works! Sort Of...

I have a friend that bought these. He already is very good at lucid dreaming; basically what you would call a natural. He swears by these now. He mentions that it gives him the most vivid, best lucid dreams he's had, where he can easily DEILD if it wakes him up too much.

He states though that its not really for beginners. You need to have that basic awareness foundation set in place where you're questioning most of your dreams. The flashing lights really makes it easy to become lucid at this point.

I would try them, but I do not have $200+ to experiment.

Currently, I have taken to the notion that they cannot help me at the moment. The alerts wake me up even on the lightest setting, and I wake up in my sleep and remove the glasses.

The DO increase my recall/vividness of dreams, but almost always I will end the dream early with the flashing.

The lights flashing on my RD are as follows; 4, 8, 15, 20 flashes. Then there is a pause for about 4 minutes and it starts up again.

These lights are waking me up from my dreams. I figure there is too big of a jump in light flashing. Is there a way to change it? Eg. 4, 6, 8, 11, 17, 20 flashes.

hi, you will have more success if you let the lights wake you from your dream slightly. you can then easily perform a deild

Sorry for the late answer, but just came back into my LD practice (which also means playing with my old LD toys and reading the forums).
What you are describing is the TWC mode (Two Ways Communication).
This is the only mode that sent an increasing (in length and strength) set of clues so that it finishes by being visible in the dream (to turn you lucid).
Once you understand you are in a dream and your mask is making flashes you have the possibility to stop it with a code you make with your eyes in the dream.
But it's like you are awoken before noticing the flashes...

have you tried the non TWC modes?

Good evening to you all. I'm new to this forum and I'd like to share my experience with the Rem Dreamer. I've bought it about 3 weeks ago and I'm trying to find my own settings, not so easy to me. The leds they always woke me up instead of telling me I was dreaming, even the lowest brightness setting didn't work. Frustrated but not going to give up, I finally managed to try different led type (you know there are so many types, from the most bright to the less one). Led's light can act different with different color(s), so I removed both sides leds and soldered a socket for each one (even put a socket for the IR led that wasn't working when I received the mask but I replaced it myself instead of sending back the mask for such a little issue). Now every night I experiment a different color but it seems green and yellow are both suitable for me and they don't wake me up as the original red-too-bright ones did. I think I'll have to try different colors and settings but I'm satisfied with this mod, now it's so easy and fast to swap the leds (no soldering - desoldering needed) and try different colors and brightness..... I'll post again when I'll find the right balancement.....

Interesting!
so, what's up since?
