Thread: REM-Dreamer HELP! PLEASE

Sorry for the delay Jeff.

I know you sent me a PM also. I just went back to work after a 2 week vacation and its been a little busy.

I typed a pretty long response already - I was about two thirds done and somehow I lost all the text I had entered. I was so pissed that its taken a day or two to have the stomach to type it all again. In fact this will be a much shorter version.

My main advice is simple : INVEST 50$ AND BUY THE "PRO" SOFTWARE & INTERFACE!!!!!!!

The booklet is indeed not good. The software is excellent. You can program the whole device in seconds its that easy.

I cant help you program it via the dials only, I bought the software specifically to avoid this. To help you out I would need to read the book myself and then explain it all to you, and thats way too much effort for someone I am not shagging.

I can tell you the following. Each day I need to I :

1) Connect to the REM DREAMER to my PC and start the software.
2) LOAD the settings and details on how many times it fired cues the night before.
3) Adjust any settings if required.
4) Turn off the REM DReamer via the software and disconnect.

5) - JUST BEFORE BED : Turn dials to 9:1 and press the central button to turn the REM DREAMER on.
6) Turn the dials to 0:0 - then press the button for as many increments of 10 minute delay time I want to set. Example - 4 hours would be 4 * 6 ten minute increments - therefore I would press the button 24 times.
7) Put on mask and go to sleep.
8) If I need more delay time then I just press the central button as many times as I need.

9) Repeat - next day link the device to my PC, etc etc.


I use the REM dreamer in 2 main ways.

I use it during the week with the Two Way Control feature. Which is excellent. I only get a bout 5 hours sleep mid week as I have to get up early to work - and the TWC feature gives me a better chance to become Lucid or at least wake during an REM cycle and then try to DEILD.

I also use it at the weekend. I always WILD first and DO NOT need the REM DREAMER for this. In fact trying to use it when WILDing is annoying - if you dont set enough delay time and have the sensitivity settings on high then it wil just fire too early and fuck your attempt up. So I use it after I have had 1 or 2 WILDS. I take alot of supplements and can always expect multiple DILDs and EDILDS after a WILD night. So I put on the mask when done WILDing - press the central button with the dials on (0:0 - always leave the dials on this setting at night) to dial in 40 or so minutes of delay and go to sleep.

I dont really need the REM Dreamer to become lucid. It has got me lucid in the past, but im pretty good at LDing without it. I find its main benefit to me now is extending DILDS and timing their length:

The device fires cues every 10 minutes or so. When I am LDing i see the cues as bright red geometric patterns and shapes that destroy my dream vision. I wait for the flashing to finish - aware of course that I am in a dream - and ask for my dream vision to return. Most times the dream re-renders whever I was before the cues interupted, but sometimes I find myself in a whole new place like I have teleported or spun. If I lose lucidity and slip into free dreaming then the next time the device cues I become lucid again OR if it fires while still Lucid then I "know" I have been lucid continuously for at least 10 minutes.

I am at the point now with my post WILD DILDs/EDILDs that the device will fire 5 or more times and that I am still lucid each time it fires - therefore my LD attempts are improving to the point that I can remain lucid for some substantial time.

I am now mostly focused on my personal "holy grail" - the midweek LD with only 4-5 hours of sleep.
