Bitbanger's Remee Sleeping Mask can induce Lucid Dreaming in REM Sleep using Music via Inception

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.
