Your ears only respond to sound down to about 20Hz. Most brainwave activity, certainly
brainwave activity during REM is below this threshold.

The concept of binaural beats if to play tones or other forms of music that has a frequency
shift between the right and left channels. Let's keep it simple. In the case of tones, the right
ear (you wear headphones of course) would receive a 100 Hz tone, and the left ear might receive
a 104 Hz tone. From your brains perspective, the additive affect of these is roughly a 102 Hz
signal with an amplitude modulation of 4 Hz. Your brain tends to entrain to that 4 Hz signal.

So essentially, by listening to binaural beats, or for example the Brainsuites meditation CD's,
you can encourage your brain to drop from an active Beta state, down to a desired state such
as Theta - which is consistent with deep meditation and dreaming.

For me binurals rarely work. SBagen was the worst personally. BWGen works ALOT better.

Binaural beats has been the only method that has ever effectively worked for me. I always recommend this technique. You can find lots of info about this online, but I always recommend luciddreamnow.com as it has an excellent description of what binaural beats are and how exactly they trigger lucid dreams.

Cool, it's the first post I ever made, brought back from the archives.

As long as the thread is back, I have a similar question to the one I started this thread with. I have BWgen, but it didn't seem to do much for me. Are there any presets anyone has found to be particularly helpful?
