P.E.S.T

Not sure if anyone remembers this thing. A long while back the lucidity institute created a pager looking device that would vibrate at a scheduled interval and remind you to do a reality check. The reason I’m writing is to find out if anyone had this device and if so, did it work for you? In other words, did you find yourself having more lucid dreams after using this device?

The lucidity institute no longer makes this device (or any others) and I’m trying to create a similar device for my own personal use. The main difference is my device is a multi purpose tool. It is a clock that will vibrate at scheduled intervals in it’s pest mode, wake you up at a given time in the middle of the night with a vibration under your pillow so that your spouse is not disturbed. And it features a glowing clock that you can perform your reality checks against. I’m also planning to build in a red led lamp that you can turn on for writing journal entries in the middle of the night.

So any experience with the pest and things that could improve upon it are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dorian

Hi Dorian!
well i don t know the device you re talking about. but i find the one you are creating really interesting and usefull…!

This is off-topic but pest means plague in swedish. :smile:

having an alarm for RCs has been proven useless for me because without the alarm in the dream, you will not RC. also it was terribly annoying when i tried it :lol:

for waking up during the night, most people use phone apps now. we have one for old fashioned phones called Dream Timer (you can download it if you search the member Tggtt who made it). then there are special apps both from iPhones and Androids.
