Thread: Isochronic tones: the future of binaurals

Binaural beats never work for me.
But I tried this last night and got a lucid dream, it could just have been a coincidence so I try it again this night and tell you my result tomorrow.

I did like this:

Listen to the tones in my bed for 15 minutes until I got tired
and then turned it off, put my mp3 on my bed table and was going to sleep.
And I got lucid.

did you use earphones or headphones with that?

Headphones to my mp3

epicness, were you able to control your dream and everything? since lucidness is just the state of being aware, not necessarily have control of the dream. and can you try again tonite with the same routine and see if you get a lucid dream?

This was my fourth lucid dream but I have to say that the awareness here was very high.
But I try again tonight

im gonna try it tonite

What is the best thing to set the waves at to ensure lucid dreams?

i really have no clue, since i just tried them last night, listened to them for 15 minutes (kept hearing a clicking sound), then took them off, set them on my dresser, and went to sleep...no lucid dreams, but still had normal dreams, around the same amount of vividness, maybe a little more detailed, but thats usual fluctuation.

There is a theta sound in the tutorial, will that give me LDs

theta is the desired range for lucid dreams. Effects vary from person to person, though...in theory, it should help you to become lucid, but is no substitute for constant alertness and/or autosuggestion.

I followed the path of dream yoga...what more could I do to be aware? That's why I need help.

Well, you could certainly try autosuggestion. It worked wonders for me. You have to be diligent and constant about it, and find a mantra that works for you, but if you do have any success with it, it will become a very easy skill to master. WILDing would also be a good idea, if possible.

Thank you, but don't I have to be put in a trance for autosuggestion? If not, what are some of the things I need to do?

I'm gonna have to try this again as suggested soon...it would be really cool if I could get it to work.

I will try this tonight, also. I haven't had a lot of success with binaural beats when it comes to lucid dreaming. I use them for other types of meditations, but have never had them help with LD or OBE.

Nah. Autosuggestion uses mnemonic memory devices, similar to ROY G BIV to help you remember to realize you're dreaming. Simply repeating a phrase over and over again will cause it to soak into your subconscious, and should help to trigger lucids. I use the mantra, "I AM dreaming," with plenty of conviction, and even when I'm conscious, the thought tends to randomly pop into my head. It was through this technique that I had my first lucid, and almost became lucid once more. So close...

For the mantra to work effectively, I suggest repeating it mentally whenever you think about it, whenever you have a moment to yourself, etc. Check out the MILD tutorial for more information.

just found this site, thought all you guys here at DV would like it tons of Iso-tones for any sort of situation

I youtubed it and listened to this, it was much better than I expected. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FQZ71hv4ko

I could see myself listening to things like this before bed. Just through the speakers not headphones. I felt that bliss that is there with dreaming at times. Like dreams were going on without my specific knowledge. There to be recalled, but I just wasn't in a state near asleep enough to experience them.

But really I imagine this could backfire. If you stimulate those wave levels, aren't they satisfied so to speak? Or maybe they get tired from use. Then when you go to sleep there is no reason for the brain to use them as they have already been used and served their purpose that day.

It's very nice, very positive, but if you exhaust those parts of your brain while awake won't there be no energy in them while asleep? I could be wrong, don't know much about this, but that's my obvious question.

tried with binaural beats as iphone prog...had regular dreams, no lucidity and a slight headache...I won't be messing with binaural any longer as I don't think it's a necessary practice to get lucid dreams..

Loads of "I will try this tonight" posts... but not much feedback.

So how was the success and which settings did you use?

I personally didn't spend much time with them, to be honest. My lucid count is too few and too inconsistent to make a good test subject.

Interesting. HemiSync had some effect on me, perhaps this will too.

Gonna try this out, I'll report back when I can

Well, i tried the "Sleep" one and I fell asleep like lightning fast.

Don't even remember my last thoughts before sleep. I simply got in bed, closed my eyes and I was gone. Wasn't even that tired...

Guess they really do work. Some sounds are a bit aggressive though, but I find it easy not to listen to them, but simply hear them.

I'll try more of the others and report back when I can.

Thanks for the links. I went to one site and downloaded several mp3 .. elongated them to over an hour and now have to get them on my ipod to use them. I deleted itunes a while ago. Guess I will have to put it back on the computer.
Elongating them is easy with Neros' wave editor. Just copy and paste.

Hemisync works great for me so it will be interesting to see. I have 30-50 lucid/obe's a month on average.
