Awhile
aback I did an article on the PSiO Mind Booster that could help to relieve stress via
self-hypnosis using a series of pulsing LED inside of a device that looked like
a AR (Augmented Reality) ski-mask as described in my blog article
entitled “PSiO
Mind Booster glasses helps you experience Psychedelic high sans drugs - How to
produce Electronically Induced Hallucinations”.

The Remee Lucid Dreaming Mask was
originally a Kickstarter project that was started by Bitbanger back in early
2012 as stated in “Remee
Lucid Dreaming Mask flashes before your eyes”, published April 5, 2012 2:20
PM PDT by Amanda Kooser, CNET News . The
project gained huge traction and quite a bit of notoriety on Kickstarter,
exceeding its goal by double it’s original goal of US$35,000. Now it’s a
finished product and retails for US$95 and comes in five (5) colours:
1.
Black
2.
Blue
3.
Red
4.
Yellow
5.
White
US$345
is an awful lot of money to experience a mental High, Inception style, so I
spent some time experimenting with the idea of inducing a high without drugs
using the method I’d suggested in the article. While I’m still fascinated by
the an Electronically Induced High (as it’s safer than buying Marijuana!) if
you read the blog post above I was also fascinated by Electronically Induced
Lucid Dreaming.
At US$95, the Remee Lucid Dreaming Mask is a lot
cheaper than the sticker shock price of US$345 for the PSiO Mind
Booster or even the REM
Dreamer which retails for US$217.95 on Amazon!
Determine you REM – Altered
States on entering Dream Land Through the Looking Glass
According
to the Dreamer and the Digital Trends
writer Drew Prindle, the gadget works by LED’s blinking a pattern when you hit
REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the point in your sleep cycle when you’re
dreaming. Those LEDs are controlled by a simple Timer that you have to program
with the exact time that you fall into REM Sleep by connecting the Remee Lucid Dreaming Mask to a
computer via a rather unusual programming method.
First
to determine the exact time you go into REM Sleep, you’ll need a Smartphone and
an app called Sleep Cycle. It determines when you fall into different stages of
sleep by you physical movements during sleep using the smartphones built in
accelerometer. This process might take awhile, as it took the Dreamer and the Digital Trends writer Drew Prindle two
(2) months before he gathered enough data to determine his REM Sleep Cycle.
Programming the Remee – I’m
in an Inception state of Mind
Instead
of being programmed via a USB Cable, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity to a
smartphone app, the Remee Lucid
Dreaming Mask is programmed using BitBanger’s website., You simply enter
what setting you want into their website and then you’re instructed to hold up
the Remee Lucid Dreaming Mask to
the Screen, at which point the website screen flashes binary coded series of
colours on and off to transmit the instructions to the Remee Lucid Dreaming Mask’s Optical
Sensors located on the front of the mask.
Apparently
this keeps the product lighter as well as cooler on the face, as the over
Transmission protocols have circuits that generate heat, very uncomfortable if
placed inside of a sleeping mask. Once programmed with the exact time when you
go into REM Sleep, you then put it on an according to his dream log, it’ll kick
in after about four (4) days!
Dreamer and writer Drew
Prindle Dream – Conscious and Wide Awake in a Dream
Now
for the “Awesome” part! According to the Dreamer and the Digital Trends writer Drew Prindle,
you’ll see the light blinking patterns in your dream either as a dream element
or as blinking lights in the field of visions of your dream i.e. floating in
front of you. This is the lights from the Remee Lucid Dreaming Mask blinking
during your REM Sleep which your brain is able to process as the LED are bright
enough to be seen by your eyes but not enough to awaken you from the dream.
At
that point of realization, the dream should become solid, in focus and very
real and you can at that point start moving around in your dream. Another nice
convenient feature of Lucid Dreaming is that since you’re aware it’s a dream, a
process called being Wide Awake in your Dream or Awakening, the Dream becomes
more like a conscious experience.
This
is good, as it means it’ll be like travelling in a different world and thus
once you leave this world via waking up back into the Real world, the Dream
World will be in your long term memory ready for you to write it down., After
all, that’s why the Dreamer and the Digital
Trends writer Drew Prindle has his account of his dream wandering around in
his childhood house minus the furniture!
Lucid Dreaming – Katy
Perry’s Wide Awake is Possible
Clearly
Lucid Dreaming is possible. All you have to do is time when exactly you enter
REM Sleep and at that point play a pre-assigned signal in the Real world that
you can detect with your senses in the Dream World. That’s how the BitBanger’s Remee Lucid Dreaming Mask works,
plain and simple!
Thus
it becomes obvious that you can also enter a Lucid Dreaming State once you know
your REM Sleep Cycle. Just as easily and on the cheap, you could’ve also wear a
Dr. Dre Beat Audio headset connected to a smartphone while sleeping. The
Smartphone would be programmed via a music playing app to play your favourite
music when you hit REM sleep. Once you hear the song, and you’re in REM Sleep dreamland,
you should be able to control the dream after awhile, Inception (2010) style!
Other
more expensive Sleeping masks such as the REM
Dreamer which retails for US$217.95 on Amazon exist that can detect you
Alpha and Beta Brainwaves via an attached EEG (Electroencephalograph) to
determine when you’re in REM Sleep and thus play a song or pulses of LED light.
But at a price that’s reasonable and a device that’s easily trainable, the
BitBanger’s Remee Lucid Dreaming Mask
gets you Wide Awake, Katy
Perry Style at a price that’s easy to have a good night’s sleep over.
