Do lucid dream machines work?
There are several popular lucid dream machines on the market, including the NovaDreamer, REM Dreamer and Dream Maker. They all work on the same principle of using infra-red technology to detect Rapid Eye Movement (REM) then flashing lights through the closed eyelids. These lights are incorporated into the dream world and often remind the dreamer to become lucid. Lucid dream machines do work well, provided the dreamer can sleep comfortably with the mask on, practice regular reality checks, and train themselves to look for flashing light triggers in dreams. Soon they will be able to induce lucid dreams on demand.
