Would you like to experience Superman-style flight? Do you want to conquer your fear of elevators or resolve issues with a long-dead relative? What would you pay to jam with Jimi Hendrix or get writing advice from Ernest Hemingway? Lucid dreaming promises all this and more, and Bitbanger Labs wants to give it to you with the Remee Lucid Dreaming Mask.
The science behind the mask is relatively simple. There are five stages of sleep, divided into two broad categories: Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, where dreams occur, and non-REM sleep. We cycle through these stages multiple times per night, with progressively longer stages of REM sleep as morning approaches.

Its not that simple. I have done lucid dreaming. As soon as you realize you are dreaming it is very difficult to keep from waking up, you have to constantly fight it. Inevitably you waste your few moments of lucid dreaming fighting waking up, and not fulfilling your wildest dreams.
If you want to become aware in your dreams and lucid dream the best approach is to habitually scrutinize reality while awake. If it becomes a habit you will do it while dreaming and realize you are not awake. Flying is amazing.
Did you know that God talks to you while you are in your deepest sleep? I would prefer to have Him take control of my dreams, nothing else.
JOB 33
For God does speak —now one way, now another —
though no one perceives it.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on people
as they slumber in their beds,
16 he may speak in their ears
and terrify them with warnings,
17 to turn them from wrongdoing
and keep them from pride,
18 to preserve them from the pit,
their lives from perishing by the sword.
Usually, if I see red lights, I then see a nightstick and I dream that I’m fishing for salmon, but I wake up in a jail cell. I call these NIGHTSTICK DREAMS. Much cheaper than that mask and doesn’t require any practice. Gives you headaches, though.
Real life is so boring. And holodeck technology hasn’t been invented yet.
Oh well, for those who can’t manage to make something of their lives, there’s always dreams...or drugs.

Works for me.
That is one of my reservations...and wondering what else one might tap into.
Lucid dreaming isn’t for everyone (e.g. the shooter of Giffords). Also dreams generally reflect what is in the subconscious and the best thing to do is clean out the subconscious by practicing rational thought in conscious brain. It’s a slow process, especially if the subconscious is a rats nest of irrational fears brought on from trauma, drug use or other ill effects.
That is one of my reservations...and wondering what else one might tap into.
___________________________________________________________
Whenever a person gives up control of his natural thinking, be it dream machines, drugs, hypnosis, etc. that person gives permission for a reprobate spirit to enter and place thoughts in his/her mind. I wouldn’t go there.
Deep sleep is needed to restore the body and hear God’s voice.
First tip for those who want to try, when you KNOW you are in a dream, force yourself to look at your hands.
It's not as easy as it sounds but it's the first step to being able to control the elements in your dream.
Second tip for those that want to try, do not lose the ability to differentiate between dreaming and reality. When you become really proficient at lucid dreaming, at times the line between seems to blur.
You don't want to try some of the things in reality that you want to try while dreaming.
Thanks. I did not know those points. It seals the deal for me.
Something felt hinky about this to me because many moons ago, I remember a researcher saying that science will never understand sleep...as in why we need to...its true purposes, etc.
There will most likely be unintended consequences for manipulating sleep. I’m pretty sure we don’t know what we’re messing with.
Cheers!
Yep...or even worse than just placing thoughts!
The Castaneda method?
it is difficult, but ive managed it a few times. i had read a paperback about lucid dreaming while stationed in germany back in the late 80’s, and did learn how to do this, havent been able to do it more than once or twice since then, but im goin to try again.
from my experience in LD, it was possible to ask for or create a situation, why not just ask for the Lord’s guidance in this dream state?
during my daily rosary, many times in a deep meditative state, ive felt a closeness to the Lord....and ive also received influences from the Lord in dreams as well, why not cultivate this ability?
Here is an interesting reference: The Brainwaves/Cymatic frequency listing.

It is a collection of what different sources assert are some of the purposes of different audio and visual stimuli at different frequencies.
A very interesting reference, and well worth hanging on to.
