Lucid Dream Machines
Ever since lucid dreaming entered the public eye in the 1980s, there have been many attempts to create lucid dream machines. The idea is to make lucid dreaming as easy as possible - so that anyone can do it at will.
The most common type of lucid dreaming device is an eye mask which emits visual and audio cues to the would-be lucid dreamer while they are asleep. Often this means you see flashing lights in your dreamscape, which remind you that you are dreaming. Some offer verbal cues like as well.
The following are my reviews of the major lucid dream machines and technologies I have evaluated to date. Please note if you have photosensitive epilepsy, lucid dream masks that emit light are not recommended for you.
Lucid Dreaming Devices
Lucid dream machines may help you achieve your goal of becoming lucid on a nightly basis, however they are not the last word in lucid dreaming. Relying on devices like the NovaDreamer, REM Dreamer, Dream Mask, or any other external reality check prompt does not train you to become a better natural lucid dreamer. So please don't rush out and buy one unless you are sure it's for you.
My review of the NovaDreamer lucid dream mask, detailing all the special features and what to expect from the new NovaDreamer II by The Lucidity Institute.
My review of the REM Dreamer, Europe's answer to the NovaDreamer created by ELI Company. It shares many features and is considerably cheaper.
Lucid Dreaming Sound Technologies
The following sound technologies are designed to help you enter a deeper state of relaxation as you fall asleep and help you induce lucid dreams on demand. There is a proven link between frequent meditation and lucid dreaming, and I strongly believe meditation is the best thing you can do to increase your chances of success. These technologies will help you achieve that state on a nightly basis.
Probably the best brainwave entrainment for lucid dreaming, created by Unexplainable Store. Ideal for inducing both MILD and WILD lucid dreams.
A great way for beginners to get lucid, by programming the mind through hypnotic autosuggestion. Experience relaxation and visualization with self-hypnosis.
The Lucid Dreaming Kit by Bradley Thompson includes the ebook "How to Lucid Dream in 7 Days" and the famed Audio Stimulation CD with binaural beats.
The Sleepsonic Pillow is a hi-tech speaker pillow for listening to binaural beats while you sleep. Ideal for hypnosis, guided meditation and lucid dreaming MP3s.
The Sound Oasis S650 sound therapy tool features meditation music and relaxation sound effects for better sleep. Also great for lucid dream visualizations.
Lucid Dreaming Apps
Singularity Experience is a lucid dreaming app for the iPhone that aids lucid dream re-entry (a classic DEILD technique for having lucid dreams on demand).
DreamZ is a revolutionary new lucid dream app that helps you to recognize when you are dreaming and control your dreams. Available in the iPhone App Store.
Sleep and Eye Masks
Sleep masks can help create a sensory deprived environment in which you can meditate deeply and focus your awareness within. They enable you to meditate at any time of day, making the outside world go dark on demand and encouraging a peaceful mental state to begin your lucid dreaming practice.
Sleep masks have several benefits for meditation and lucid dreaming - find out my favorite mask for practicing lucid visualizations at any time of day.
Therapeutic eye masks help relieve eye strain and tension headaches, as well as creating a relaxed, sensory-deprived environment for meditation.
