As with many lucid dream masks, some people report tearing it off in the middle of the night, just to sleep undisturbed. But usually the desire to have lucid dreams is enough motivation to stick with it. The foam keeps the electronics well away from your eyes so the discomfort comes from having to sleep with it strapped to your face. This feeling may also be incorporated into your dream!
Success Rate of Lucid Dream MasksThe only real controversial element is the light cue itself. To be fair, The Lucidity Institute states clearly that the mask does not guarantee lucid dreams and you do need to pitch in with some effort relating to reality checks. This enables you to take action when you see the flashing lights in a dream. Some people simply didn't follow the instructions and didn't react to the light cues. No lucid dreams for them! They ended up selling their masks on eBay which is where you can benefit. With this in mind, I recommend practicing some unaided lucid dreaming techniques to have your first few lucid dreams naturally before you buy the mask. Another negative feature in one NovaDreamer review was that the flashing lights could ruin a lucid dream in progress. Faced with the distraction of the bright lights, all they could do was sit and wait - a waste of valuable lucid dream time! At worst this is an annoying side-effect. At best, it can remind you to stay lucid and extend the lucid dream for much longer than normal. There are rumors that the NovaDreamer II will have a two-way feedback function - so you can tell your mask you are lucid with pre-set eye movements. Now that is clever! Over time, you will recognize the flashing lights as a dreamsign that frequently reminds you to check if you are dreaming. Your subconscious brain will make it a habit to recognize this dreamsign, making lucidity more likely the more you use the lucid dreaming mask. It is also very good for recognizing false awakenings. Where to Buy NovaDreamerThese lucid dream machines are available to buy second-hand through eBay. We are still waiting to hear when this lucid dream mask will be sold again as new. The new NovaDreamer II was due for release in summer 2008, although this has clearly been pushed back. The new version will have more interactive functions, including real-time response to eye movement signals, plus greater comfort, reliability and performance, according to The Lucidity Institute. It was successfully trialled at a workshop in April 2008 - we just have to wait for mass production to begin. However, it is likely to be more expensive that the original mask. If you want to pre-order your mask now, send an email to ND2(at)lucidity.com (replace (at) with @). You will be added to their mailing list and have the chance to buy NovaDreamer before it goes on release to the general public.
