Thread: White noise/radio experiment

ok im not sure if this has been done before but i couldnt find a topic about it on the first 3 pages. now the suggested experiment is a way to help attain lucidity. when you go to sleep try leaving your radio, television, or anything that makes noise on. leave it soft enough that it wont keep you awake but loud enough to hear. then post if the voices effect your dream or not.\

if you care to take part in this experiment please feel free to post your results

Suggestion - white noise is quite painful, because certain frequencies appear louder to the human ear than others.
A better version is 'grey noise', or I could make you a mixture of noises that I use for napping that isn't so painful.

It's got to do with something called 'psychoacoustics'

You could use brown or pink noise instead, as they are "smoother" than white noise.

When I leave my TV turned on, I usually have FAs in which I go to turn off the TV, until I wake up for real, I've achieved a similar effect when I leave a bright lamp turned on.

Personally it's really hard for me to go to sleep with any noise at all. I'm surprised sometimes that I even go to sleep with the sound of the clock ticking, but of course I get used to that. But any noise that is above the silence I experience as I'm drifting off to sleep startles me awake and it sucks.

well my first night of trying and i only remebered one non lucid dream, but it was probley the most vivid non lucid ive ever had, i will be trying this again tonight. again if you care to take part please post your results as frequently as possible

Try binaural beats.
