I just had my first results 30 mins ago! ALL the details below.
I have had many lucid dreams, self-induced, but am working hard to earn money and I need a reliable method to induce a LD at least once a week that is not effort intensive.
The post on the REM dreamer I saw was locked with the person who ordered one giving up after not wanting to work the settings.
So here’s the scoop:
On Dec 1st I ordered the REM Dreamer from the official website. On Dec 16th the following email arrived:
"REM-Dreamer was sent to you today.
We apologize for the delay.
PawelH"
The device arrived on the 23rd of December. I picked it up two days ago.
It is very well designed and appears to me to have all the bells and whistles of the NOVA Dreamer. It is however a delicate device but was packed well so it arrived intact.
For my first night I set the light and beeper strength to to maximum and then tested the eye movement detector using one of the settings. I saw that it worked and so set the delay for 4 hours and off I went…
I woke up at the end of my sleep with no results. I checked the device and it had only gone off once and I remember that it was when I awoke during the night and my movements set it off.
I realized for my second night that the threshold was set too low so I increased it by 10% and set the delay for 4 hours for my second night…
I awoke twice during the night with the mask off my head. I dutifully replaced it and continued. I then found myself awakening again with the mask on and experiencing repeated sensations against my eyeballs but no light. I think that something is wrong with the device and find that the device is actually off my head! I think how strong the device is to produce the sensations while being off my head and replace it and return to sleep. I have a dream of myself at my childhood home of short duration. I then wakeup and realize that the entire sequence was a dream from awakening with the mask on.
It is obvious the REM dreamer caused this dream. Since I didn’t have any lights in the ensuing dream I have doubled the length of the light and added the beeper for the same length for my 3rd night.
See you with the results!

PS The idea that a repeated phrase from the external environment cannot be comprehended while sleeping
is absolutely false. I have had many “radio dreams” and have successfully induced lucidity using a speech program on my comp. It is not a reliable method because the mind seems to pick and choose when it perceives it.
