Because of the mixed reviews from the “Nova Dreamer” wouldn’t it be more cost effective to build your own contraption, or have someone flash a light at you whilst sleeping. If your results are good enough to spend the 400$ on then go right ahead:)

moved to existing topic from different forum. apparently the novadreamer has been discontinued
Is it any good?
I really want to have more LD’s .

Should i get one?

I saw on the discovery channel recently the human body show that mentioned lucid dreaming and had a clip with the nova dreamer. I have come to find out that they are no longer produced. I would really like to purchase a sleep mask like this but I’m not sure where to look or whats good or not. All the people in my house are interested in this so any help in finding a product similar to what the nova dreamer was is much apreciated.

Hi Cfrisch, welcome to the forum

I’m afraid that it’s not allowed to link directly to sellers on the forum, so a reply directing you to where you could buy these products would have to be removed.

The only thing I can suggest is if you take a look at the the BIG how-to-make-your own dream goggles. You can make your own

try ebay

lolpie · March 21, 2008, 6:36pm

You can also trying looking up the REM-Dreamer on Amazon.

BassMastaMike · March 21, 2008, 6:38pm

Isn’t there a new NovaDreamer coming out soon?

lolpie · March 21, 2008, 6:47pm

I think so, but the site has been saying that for like a year…

There are rip-offs of the Nova Dreamer is the good news (like the Kvasar!), the bad news is you have to be an f***ing electrician to put it together, reading schematics and using a soldering gun etc. but they only cost $20. I don’t know why they stopped making them but I can’t wait for the new ones.

Down_the_Rabbit_Hole · March 21, 2008, 7:12pm

Alternative Dream Mask or Kvasar!
Both require a lot of assembly and the first one doesn’t sense REM like the Nova Dreamer it just flashes light into your eyes around when you’re REM sleep should occur but that varies from person to person and also it won’t know the exact time you fell asleep. In addition it looks really gay.

lolpie · March 21, 2008, 7:55pm

The REM-Dreamer has 2 methods, while the Novadreamer just uses 1…also it’s cheaper, just checked on Amazon

EDIT: Yeah I know I sound like a salesperson, sorry

I got the following information from Dream Views
dreamviews.com/community/sho … hp?t=22821

The directions are translated funny and a bit hard to decipher, something I guess you would call Polglish. It has a lot of options, and is very customizable. The options are navigated using four switches and a button. You can customize the duration, the frequency, and the intensity of both light flashes and chiming noises, among other things. You set a kind of “snooze” mode so that it won’t activate for as long as you set it (in segments of ten minutes), so that you can fall asleep without it blinking at you because you happened to move your eyes or rolled over or took it off for a moment or something. 30 seconds before this snooze period is over, it will give you a warning flash telling you that it’s about to end, and if you need more time then you can just press the button again.

I don’t understand what the snooze mode is. Does that mean you have to set it every ten minutes to get it to shut off? How long does the snooze mode last? It usually takes me between one to two hours to fall asleep normally every night, so I don’t want to reset it every hour.

Has anyone else recently bought the REM dreamer? There is an upgraded version available.

Rain_Frog · September 6, 2008, 3:24am

yeah, I read them, but I’m still unsure how the “snooze feature” operates.

I sent a PM to Reyth but haven’t received a response.

drifter · September 10, 2008, 6:10pm

They are kind of expensive, I am struggling with Lucid dreaming after having a couple about 2 months ago I haven’t had one since. How useful/worthwhile do you think dream-masks are?

Moved from Quest for Lucidity.

Essa · September 10, 2008, 11:29pm

Well, I think it varies with each person, some it helps, some it doesn’t. I personally have never tried one. I suggest to keep trying with the some methodes that are on ld4all. Then after awhile, still no luck, I suggest reading up on them more. Then decide if you really want to spend the extra money.

In the end it’s up to you, if you think it will help you or not.

Well, that’s my 2 cents, feel free to correct me if i’m wrong on anything.

Scarecrow · September 10, 2008, 11:33pm

I have a question too.
What is a dream mask? Is it the same thing as a sleep mask?

I say tough it out, your able to have an LD normally just keep trying.

Genkai · September 11, 2008, 12:56am

Firstly, welcome to the community, Drifter.

I would wait a bit longer before deciding to invest in a Dream Mask, but I’ve heard good things about them. The Novadreamer is supposed to be the best one. They work, it’s just that they can be rendered unnecessary once you improve at Lucid Dreaming.
