I can't even tell how the wires even connect; the wire ends seem to magically disappear into the terminal blocks through the top. Not to mention the output of the amp going to the power section(?) of the Arduino...

content: Lucid dreaming does exist, I have tried it myself a few times, but it takes a lot of luck/skill to initiate, you don't need any tools to do it. Just need to set up a mental connection, like looking at a watch or checking your phone, so you "realise" you are lucid (as you can't read text or such when lucid, so it looks all wrong.) Sort of like exploiting a bug in the brain's operating system.

content: Indeed it exists, checked tonight myself. Read in wiki what it is. I was able to understand that it is a dream, like 2+2=9,6 on the desk. Was able to control it, like I'm now in a train, lets fly in an airplane. And was able to wake up but it needed 3 attempts as there was 2 fake wake ups which I figured almost right away.

content: "If you are lucky enough to have experienced a lucid dream, you know that it’s an absolutely amazing thing. Suddenly realizing that you’re dreaming and being able to do impossible things is something that everybody should be able to experience at least once in their lifetime."You can't actually "do impossible things", you can only hallucinate bullshit in la-la land. I cannot fathom why this should excite anyone.

Think startrek holodeck.Also remember that, from person to person, dreaming can vary from just a hazy memory to a vivid experience almost as real as being awake.Some people have very mild/hazy dreams and wouldn't really get much fun out of a lucid dream.

content: Quote from: Psi on November 10, 2013, 12:42:56 pmYes, that is clear. My tangential point was that for certain dreams I often require no such reminder. I've seldom had a lengthy dream of "impossible"/ highly improbable things that I could later recall that did not eventually trip into some degree of lucidity.

content: Why not just set your alarm clock to play the radio at low volume at 3am? The only purpose of these devices is to provide sensory queues (sound/light) to wake your senses, without waking the consciousness that interprets what these queues are.Even if you want to control a playlist more elaborately, just make a playlist on your ipod/computer to play whatever music (or ambient sounds) at varying intervals throughout the night. Much more comfortable than Remee.

content: Lucid dreaming with practice becomes easy, I have been doing it for nearly 45 years now.One thing it has always been good for is solving electronics problems. When you are in a lucid dream just head over to the electronics lab and work out your problem.You are able to tap into your subconscious mind, draw on experiences you have had but don't remember. There is a lot more power there than we can muster consciously.

content: Quote from: Mechatrommer on November 10, 2013, 02:07:26 pmWow, there are forums out there for all kinds of bull. I can imagine such a forum being full of bullshitters letting their imaginations run wild to competitively out do each other in their shared "lucid" experiences.I wonder how much of this alleged feeling of having been "in control" is really just an illusion. It's only when you're fully awake/conscious, after the fact, that you can actually reflect upon your prior "lucidity". Kind of reminds me of my one and only experience of déjà vu. I was 6 or 7 years old at the time and almost bumped heads with a girl who was running directly towards and then past me in the school yard. I stopped walking just in time to avoid a nasty collision and momentarily after that instant I had eerily uncomfortable feeling that the entire incident had happened the exact same way before, though I knew that it most definitely had not. Thinking about it a bit more, perhaps I had some kind of psychic prior knowledge of the wholly unpredictable? Goose bumps! Then I thought about it a bit more. My spooky "recollection" or premonition of the incident had only transpired after the incident had in fact happened for real - so that clearly ruled out any evidence of supernatural predictive abilities or prior knowledge. I simply put the experience down to an unexplained cognitive glitch and the goose bumps instantly faded, though a slightly troubling question mark over the completeness of my sanity lingered a little longer. I have not experienced the glitch again since, so that worry has long since faded.

content: Quote from: GK on November 11, 2013, 01:00:14 pmThat's probably the most likely reason for Deja Vu, some cross firing of long and short term memory. But if you accept that some "cognitive glitches" could cause that, you should also accept that a cognitive glitch could be responsible for giving one some sort of lucidity within a dream state.Unless you claim that dreams do not exist at all, which we can fairly well prove not to be the case by observing brain activity, (or even just noting that people with various disorders can be observed to talk in their sleep to persons who are not present)."Tripping" on some psychoactive drugs is probably not too dissimilar to lucid dreaming - a detachment from reality but with some degree of lucidity.If or not the perception of lucidity happens in real-time is almost unimportant, after all, it is out perception which is most important. How sure can you be that all the time and experiences up to this second actually has happened, and that you did not right now blink into existence perceiving to have all those memories only now at this instant.

Memory is depressingly faulty and coloured by the imagination, even when recalling events that happened when fully conscious. Was the "lucid" dreamer really "in control" of his dream, or does he just imagine that he was after the fact? That is expressed a bit black and white, though it is likely a matter of degree.

They claim that their prototype image side-by-side with the manufacturer's picture for the amplifier areclearlydifferent.I mean, give the guys some slack. Photoshop has it's limits and slightly rotating, scaling, and changing the contrast of an image is just too technically difficult.

content: Quote from: Mechatrommer on November 12, 2013, 03:32:37 pmI'm not quite sure what you mean as most of your posts do not make a great deal of sense. The only dreams I have that I would perceive (rightly or wrongly) to have any degree of lucidity are the ones that persist through periods of consciousness or semi-consciousness. Having not heard the term “lucid dreaming” before this thread that is what I initially figured it was all about. I think most of this “ultimate video game” guff is most likely a load of tosh. So you chased ghosts in one of your dreams, so what? That does not mean that you were lucid at the time. Large parts (especially perceptions of lucidity after the fact) of most of these experiences are likely manufactured by the imagination upon recollection, and especially so in any environment of collective/mutual reinforcement and confidence building, such as a forum for true believers and assorted fantasists to share their experiences.

content: i'm not sure what you understand (i cant make any much sense out of your post either). but being lucid means you know/aware you are in a dream, you know you are sleeping but seeing things in the dreamworld at the same time. as for "conciousness", everybody concious in a dream (and remember it after wake up) but not necessarily lucid. one of the difference between lucid dream and "mental videogame" is that in videogame you create your own world whatever you like, you want disneyland, boom you are in disneyland. but in lucid dream you can be anywhere, even in a place you dont like, its just you are aware its a fake (dream) world, not like the rest of normal dreamers. if you have blended in the forum i linked, you'll know its not all about fairytales and goodness stories as you have potrayed. if you cant make it out (while others can), saying it is a bull, is not so nice to them

content: Sometimes lucid dreaming is so nice that you get lost in your own little worlds... it's very addictive. Don't get me started on the astral though, where you have all five senses as just in the real, physical world. I have yet to see an electronic piece of kit that can bring you, forcibly, into that. So it makes me wonder what differing mechanisms are at play...
