I watched part of a program yesterday about the body and then lucid dreaming. They showed the Nova Dream mask and how it can help with lucid dreams. I searched the internet and it evidently is no longer made. Does any one know why and if there is something comprable for sale now? I've tried certain brain frequensies that is suppose to help but they have not. I've been interested in out-of-body travel for years and lucid dreaming is suppose to help. Remote viewing is not what I'm looking for. Controlled out-of-body travel is. I have read many books on the subject and know we go out when we sleep. But, I would like to do it deliberatly and remember it.

Hi Alvina,

The Nova Dreamer is from Stephen LaBerge's lucid dreaming organization and they're coming out with a new one:
The NovaDreamer Lucid Dream Induction Device

LaBerge's homepage: LUCID DREAMING

Check this out:
Tibetan Dream Yoga Experiment

First time "lucid" was used:
Frederik van Eeden

Anyway, just some resources. I think studying Tibetan Dream Yoga might be helpful to you.

Years ago I read LaBerge's lucid dreaming book and the only useful thing I took from it was spinning and that is only useful if already in a lucid dream...when feeling like you're slipping out of the dream, jump in the air and spin and it shakes it up keeping you in a dream. It works.

In Carlos Castaneda's writings of lucid dreaming techniques, I also have focused on my palms and that has helped to keep me in the dream as well.

The #1 way that I have kept myself in a lucid dream for very extended periods of time was really to use pure will power to keep myself in it with extreme focus.

To get in to a lucid dream, I have only willed it a couple times. You can look for dream signs... all day long, go around asking yourself if you're dreaming and look around for any "dream signs." Maybe everytime you touch a light switch, look at the time, drink some water, see yourself in a mirror, etc... you ask yourself. Put up sticky notes around on different things as reminders to do the dream sign checks. If you're studied lucid dreaming then you are probably already aware of this stuff.

There is one herb that is supposed to be about the only herb that helps to induce lucid dreaming and that is Calea Zacatechichi
I took it without results...got it bulk and made my own capsules. I think you need a concentrated liquid extract like a 10X tincture or something for it to be worth the time. You can click the link above for a google search on it. You can smoke it take it in capsules or a liquid. You can search for "concentrated extract" and you'll find a lot of 10x or 20x references, etc...

GABA is a supplement...probably one of the best anti-anxiety supplements on the market. Usually comes in 750mg tablets. I tried it to see what it does and I can't take 750mg...my head gets buzzing way to strong but it is calming for most people. One benefit is that GABA GREATLY STIMULATES REM sleep. You could take 1 tablet a half hour before bed to see if it helps to kick in some serious vivid dreams...not particularly lucid dreams..any dreams but the thing is that the more vivid the dreams tend to be...the more likely you are to become lucid. If you try this, just get some small bottle and give it a test. When I had my supplement store, I'd get a lot of free samples of GABA from Source Naturals (the brand I carried for GABA) and you might ask the health food stores in your area if they have free samples of the GABA...a good free test.

A few times that I have had the deep sleep booster activated on my PATHS package, I have had lucid dreams...I can't use it all the time because I get so deep into sleep that it takes me a while to get out of bed. I definitely can't use the super deep boosters because I'm groggy all day long until late afternoon.

If you have a Platinum package, you can ask for the lucid dreaming module to be added to your sleep instructions. I did have a couple lucid dreams with it but didn't seem to be consistent enough. I want lucid dreams 7 days a week

There is one thing that practically guarantees I have a lucid dream...followed by something that is often times kinda scary. Sleep Paralysis. I've had this off/on all my life. Waking up in bed and can't move at all, feeling strapped down and it is a hard to breathe. All I can do is slightly turn my head and even with my eyes open looking around, it looks like my bedroom but different and there are often other things going on.

Anyway, the point is, conventional thinking says it is our bodies not getting back to normal after sleeping...it is an automatic thing to keep us from sleepwalking. A natural safety precaution...that is fine but that doesn't mean every time it happens this is what it is...there are too many incidents that I won't go into but the sleep paralysis state is very much in the twilight zone for lucid dreaming.

I found that I can make myself have these episodes if I deprive myself of sleep and stay up for 2-3 days straight. I then get so physically exhausted that when I fall asleep, my body goes into paralysis so quick I'm aware of it...my mind is so wired from staying up that after my body is asleep, my mind goes in and out of lucidity all night long. It can wear you out and isn't for everyone but it is an option that has worked for me.

Thank you for all the great information Aaron. If I remember right, on the dream mask site it was in 2005 that they announced there was a new mask on the way. I'll have to check it out again to be sure I was reading the correct information. It would be great to have something like that if it really works.

Aaron, what do you think about Salvia divinorum?

Hi Jetijs,

I know it is a legal hallucinogenic and heard that people who smoke it have had good experiences and also bad experiences. I'm super sensitive so won't be trying it myself. I'm not sure the affects on dreaming. The main comment is that people "lose themself"...totally dissolving the ego, which is desirable and of course can be attained by many methods. If anyone is a "control freak," it is probably not a good idea for them to try.

Thank you
I apreciate your opinion!
