Brainwave Generator

Quest for Lucidity

That’s interesting, because when I tried 12 nothing happened. But that might have something to do with when I tried it. I didn’t try it in the middle of the night. Maybe I should get into using it then.

Anyway, here’s two more:

mejc.demon.co.uk/Wake_Induce … per_14.bwg
mejc.demon.co.uk/Wake_Induce … per_15.bwg

14 is goes all the way down to 3Hz, before then briefly sweeping back up to 10.6Hz (relaxed alertness) and then fading out. I haven’t tried this one yet, because as soon as I’d made it I had the idea for 15 and tried that one instead.

15 has a longer time at 12Hz at the beginning, and then goes down to 8Hz (the border between Alpha and Theta) where it stays for 5 minutes and then fades out. The idea is to get you as relaxed as possible while still being completely concious, and then using a WILD technique after that. I tried it this afternoon, and although I didn’t have a LD, it was quite an interesting experience. I realised that by using a preset like this, I could stay in a similar state long after the preset had faded out, and it was then that things started to become the most interesting. What I experienced was this: slight vibrations, a kind of sense of my mind being still, and then a randomly recurring sensation which I can only describe as a black void briefly trying to pull my mind backwards. All very subtle, but I definately noticed it, and it was definately different to when the preset was still playing.

I think I’ll be trying 12 again tonight, then tomorrow I’ll try 15…

Thanks for the presets… I read that Dream Experience is being updated too. That might be interesting also.

It really worked this time!

When I woke up, I did a WILD with counting while listening to Ed’s preset no 12.

I counted up to 100 twice actually, losing track some times and possibly repeating numbers.

But I slept, losing awareness… Then I dreamt some dreams and suddenly noticed it was a dream. Nothing tipped me off, I just was aware.

I posted the LD in my dream diary.

Thanks once more, Ed!
I think I’ll try the other preset tonight and I’ll see what happens. But no 12
was very much ok (and you can easily sleep to it).

:happy:

YAY! That’s so cool!

The stupid thing is, I’ve only tried this one myself during the day, I’ve yet to try it at night.

Tell me, when did you listen to it? Did you sleep for a few hours first and then wake up?

Anyway, about my progreass (or lack of it)…

I tried 15 last night, absolutely nothing. I was still completely awake, so I tried 14 straight afterwards. Still nothing much, because I reallised that it bringing me back up to 10.6Hz afterwards is a really bad idea, because then I was simply awake again.

Then I made a few others today, and didn’t get to try them all (because I seam to often make several at once but then be most enthusiastic about the most recent one).

One thing I’ve found lately is that I’m wondering whether I’m making them too long, because my brain seams to be getting bored after about 25 to 30 minutes and then just simply ignoring it and waking back up. So I decided to try making another one which just starts at 6.5Hz, stays there for 20 minutes and then fades out. I might try it tonight. But what you said has me thinking about maybe trying 12 tonight.

Do you want me to upload any more, or are you happy with 12?

Let me know if you want to continue, because if you don’t then that’s fine, but if you do, I might as well just create a whole folder for this purpose, and then give you the URL to the folder, and I can upload to it whenever I want to and you can check it whenever it’s convenient for you.

:happy:

Ed.

For me it’s ok if you want to make more. I’ll try them. Yes, you could create a folder.

For tonight however I’ve changed my mind, if you don’t mind… :content:

Since no 12 was so successfull I think I’ll try it again. Yesterday I received the Laberge book which might also have helped. Tomorrow I might try preset 15.

When I go to sleep typically at 11pm unless I manage to get to bed before,
I put the CD in my mp3/cd player on auto repeat, and play the track using earphones. I’ve tried it as an audio cd (on the other hand I had tried Dream Experience as a 320bps mp3…) with just one track - no 12. I am drinking peppermint tea (made from peppermint flowers) before going to sleep. Sometimes I eat a banana for the b vitamins it contains. I am not taking B complex vitamins for the moment. Tomorrow I will try a new pack of tea I bought - a pack of lots of different types, good for experimentation - I’ll start with a camomille + spearmint tea bag…

I seem to be waking up after I dream a bit and then I go to sleep again. This might be due to a glass of water I tend to drink before sleeping, a habit I got into this hot summer… mind you it’s still hot here. I generally try the WILD method (in what to me is the most natural way: by counting 1…i am dreaming, 2…i am dreaming, etc) plus before I think of having a lucid dream (MILD) [ perhaps not long enough? ]…

46

Oh, so you listen to it when you first go to sleep?

Well, seeing as I can’t decide whether to listen to 12 or 19 tonight, I’m gonna listen to 12 when I first go to sleep, and then wake up in the night and listen to 19.

Anyway, I’ve set up the folder:
mejc.demon.co.uk/bwg/

Feel free to check that whenever you feel like it, to see if I’ve uploaded anything. It might get updated quite often. Some of them you might be testing before I get round to testing them. I can’t say for certain whether each of them will do much, it’s all just an experiment really.

:smile:

Yes, that’s what I do. This night I ended up removing the earphones basically during the last hour and a half before I usually wake up. I had a false awakening (possibly helped by the Stargate episode I watched) and turned it into a lucid dream.

Thanks! I suggest you try that. No 12 was successful for me. I do try to WILD when I wake up using the counting method. I don’t seem to enter a dream consciously (so far) but the intention is there and that is what works, I think.

I know it’s an experiment. Perhaps you might upload no 12 to the bwgen site… It really is that good, in my opinion. Well it seems to have worked for me…

i wish i had a computer in my room and there is no way i am sleeping in the lounge room lol any one got a spare laptop :happy:

I didn’t use any preset before going to sleep last night, because there was something on TV that I wanted to watch. However, I did wake up at 4:30am to do 19, and that didn’t do anything, so I immediately went on to try 12, and all I can say is, WOW!!!

That has got to have been the most exciting night-time exprience I have had in a long time, and by far the best exprience had whilst listening to Brainwave Generator.

Here’s how it went…

I put the headphones on and lay down, with the volume fairly quiet. At first, I was counting, “1…I’m dreaming…2…I’m dreaming…” but after about 10 minutes of this I decided to just see what would happen if I completely relaxed and went with it.

So I said to myself quite clearly, “I’M GOING TO HAVE A LUCID DREAM ABOUT WAVES.” I then just completely relaxed and went with the flow. I became more and more relaxed, and eventually I seamed to fall asleep, and had a strange little dream about being led down on a beach in the dark. I could still hear the wave sounds in the background. Then things became really exciting…

At least twice, something really exciting happened. I suddenly became more concious, and felt like I was completely awake and could see my room, and was totally overwhelmed by VERY STRONG vibrations and strong physical-and-emotional feelings which I can only describe as being what it must feel like to be right on the verge of an OBE. It’s a really exciting feeling which I can’t describe, but have felt it in the past before I even got into trying to LD. It’s like your whole physicality takes on a whole new feel to it. Its an overwhelming feeling of being on the verge of something fantastic and new. This seamed to happen twice (I think) with brief non-lucid dreaming inbetween. Each time it happened, I had the intense feeling that it could lead to either an OBE or a LD, but felt like I had no idea how to channel this energy I was feeling.

Then I completely woke up to the sound of just the waves.

The power of this preset must be down to the combination of the 10Hz seretonin frequency followed by the 3.9Hz LD frequency. And then the the effect of the waves too.

I think maybe I’m going to concentrate on this one, and making variations of it. I think I’ll make variations on the 10Hz and 3.9Hz combination, see what different effects I can get. I’ll probably rename them as a new series, like maybe “Lucid Waves” for any that have the waves effect, “Lucid Noise” for any that have constant noise, and “Lucid Silence” for any that consist of just a tone with no noise.

:happy:

Link does not work anymore :neutral:

Interesting results… I couldn’t hear them while I slept… perhaps my volume is slightly lower…

Tonight I’ll try it again perhaps at a slightly louder volume. Then I might try your no. 19…
