The Dreammachine uses infrared sensors to detect when you are in REM (dreaming) sleep. At that point the Dreammachine gives you sound and light cues (beeps and flashing lights) to remind you that you are dreaming. Thus, external world stimuli are transferred to the world of your dreams, and it becomes easy to achieve lucidity.
In their work in dream laboratories researchers discovered that external world stimuli reach the dreaming mind but are "reinterpreted" within dreams in order to enable the dreamer to remain asleep. In this way the dreamer is protected from frequent awakenings.
For example, if a dreamer's face is sprinkled with water when he or she enters REM sleep, the dreamer might report rain in their dream. Or, if a dreamer is exposed to perfume, the dream might include a dancing partner and a ball.
The Dreammachine uses this technique of reinterpretation by providing the dreamer's mind with preset visual and/or audio cues (flashes and beeps) which help the dreamer understand that they are dreaming. For instance, when the Dreammachine displays a flashing light the dreamer may dream of sunlight reflecting in a window pane, an ambulance with its lights flashing, or a camera's flash. The dreamer learns to recognize these signs in dreams, and these signs become the dreamer's gateway to lucidity.
The Dreammachine now features a new method of inducing lucid dreams. Our newest model enables two-way communication between the sleeping person and the Dreammachine. Researchers have confirmed that, while sleeping and dreaming, people move their eyes in the same directions that they do in their dreams. This fact helped inspire the creation of the TWC (Two-Way-Communication) technology. The TWC technology enables communication between the dreammachine and the sleeping person during the dreaming state.
For instance, when the TWC feature is turned on the Dreammachine begins to generate a series of cues of increasing intensity when it senses that dreaming has begun. When the level of these cues has increased sufficiently to reach the dreaming mind the dreamer has the option of signaling back to the Dreammachine by moving his or her eyes in a predetermined manner (within the dream state) and, on sensing that movement, the Dreammachine will stop generating cues.
When the TWC feature is turned off the intensity of the cues is pre-selected by the user and does not change throughout the night. For some users, this meant that the intensity of the cues was too weak to reach the mind, or too strong, resulting in the dreamer being awakened.
When the TWC feature is turned on the intensity of the cues can be adjusted from the dream. Thus, the chances of lucid dreaming are increased much.
The dreammachine is the first lucid dream induction device in the world, which uses this technique and technology. In addition, the newest Dreammachine still includes the simple and easy-to-use settings of inducing lucid dreaming without TWC. Both methods can be used.
The Dreammachine can enhance dream recall and shorten the time needed to learn lucid dreaming. Many people have used the dreammachine as their primary method to learn lucid dreaming. As their abilities in lucid dreaming increase, the TWC technology can be utilized to enhance and deepen the lucid dream state.
The Dreammachine kit comes with a very comfortable sleeping mask with a small printed circuit board tucked inside that detects REM sleep, giving cues in the form of flashes or beeps.
The kit also includes LCD display, device connectable to the Dreammachine board, which allows the user to adjust all settings very easily. The user can use any of several simple presets, or can customize the number of sounds and light flashes, their volume and brilliance, frequency per second, and duration. In addition, the REM sensor can be set to accurately track your personal REM eyeball movement. The device comes with the user's manual (36 small pages).
The Dreammachine has given many people the opportunity to experience lucid dreaming, and the opportunity to use this natural state of consciousness to program their subconscious, influence their behavior, explore the world of the mind, and work with habits of body and mind, depending on their own needs and desires.
The Dreammachine is available for just 199 Euro.
Happy dreaming!
