rem dreamer advice

is there anyone who really knows how to use the rem-dreamer device. I have been using it for weeks to no avail. Don’t know if the settings are right. Any of u out there who can help with this?

Is this thing similar to the NovaDreamer? I’ve never used it (too expensive) but the NovaDreamer detects REM eye movement and starts flashing intermittent for a certain amount of time during REM so you can become aware if the lights and become lucid.
Does your mask detect REM, or do you have to time it? Supposedly it takes about 45 minutes to hit REM when going to bed at night, so if you plan to use it that soon that’s what you would time it for. I wouldn’t use it until after waking up around 4 or 5 AM. REM comes faster and lasts longer. I think it’s a trial and error thing if the mask does not detect REM. You might also need to increase the brightness and speed.

I have never used the nova dreamer but, i would say this is similar to it. What you were saying about not using it till 4 or 5 am when rem comes faster - I will try that. Thanks for the advice.
