Lucid Dream Induction Devices

Throughout the course of history there has been many great men and women with talents unparalleled and awe inspiring. Although these people had great minds and physical abilities it was often through devices and utensils that they channeled their expertise. Even if we are not out setting records, breaking food barriers or changing the landscape of media we still rely on and require many devices in our everyday life to help us maneuver successfully around the nuances and challenges. Like many things in life lucid dreaming may take more then just ourselves to reach the levels of achievement we desire. Lucid dreaming instruments are widely available and after we review our options hopefully we will have a better understanding of what peripherals might help us.

Lucid dreaming induction devices are a fantastic way for those struggling on their own with lucid dreaming to bring an aid for assistance.  The most commonly and widely promoted lucid dream devices usually involve sleeping masks and REM detectors.  The systems identify when people fall into REM dream cycle and then uses lights and sounds to trigger and inspire lucid dreaming.  These devices allow you to customize the number of audio sensations and visual flashes, their pitch and level, frequency per second, and length of interaction in the attempt to induce lucid dreaming.

Other lucid dream devices are more machine and computer based that connect with us while we are sleeping and feeds us stimulations that encourage seeing and controlling things much easier while in a dream state.  Pills are another device often used by lucid dreaming enthusiasts.  As with anything you ingest into your body you want to proceed with the utmost of cautions if you plan on going this route.  Those interested in a more natural and holistic approach to lucid dreaming still have a plethora of non-traditional devices to choose from.

Such lucid dreaming devices may include, dream journals, digital media, building your own memory for more advanced use, reading books and documents, and reality checks.  Now that we know a little bit about what is out there, lets look at some of the people and items behind these lucid dream device concepts.

In the world of lucid dreaming devices one name you will most likely here is PhD and lucid dreaming specialist Stephen LaBerge who begin using computers in the early nineteen eighties to aid and influence dreaming.  Many different machines and sleep masks have come from the brain of LaBerge.  If wearing masks or hooking yourself up to machines is not your idea of a pleasant sleep or if you are under budgetary constraints, perhaps picking up a book or article and reading might be a great alternative device to use when trying to learn and experience active dream participation.

The best device we have is our brain and memory and like history when a prepared and learned mind and physique latch on to a device that elevates their aptitude levels the possibilities are at times limitless.

Lucid dreaming is never an overnight endeavor.  It is a lifetime process that requires extensive study and research combined with practice and desire.  If we are finding ourselves in a lucid dreaming rut t may be best to look for outside offerings and tools that can bring us more in line with our lucid dreaming participation expectations.  Lucid dreaming devices are broadly defined but anything you can find or do that makes lucid dreaming easier should be latched onto and developed.
