Thread: Beta Rem Frequency ?

I think I understand what you want to do: stimulate your brain by playing different frequencies to induce different parts of sleep? Interesting idea, I don't think it would work to LD because even if it did work perfectly, it would be like you are in REM naturally, so you would still have to DILD. I think. But you won't really know unless you try it.

Isn't this the purpose of the binaural beats for lucid dreams? There are some of these floating around.

Just because you are in REM doesn't mean you're lucid.

That's always been my problem with the concept too, though I've been experimenting lately and I've noticed that it does help one to become more aware, thus increasing the chances of DILD. I suppose the reason is because even when we are in REM, there are still differing frequencies. If we can get it as high as possible, and combine that with reality checks and the intention to recognise when we are dreaming, it may help us to become lucid.

My theory is using binaural beats can make you enter REM faster... That's basically their only use I think.

I doubt that; the body is pretty set in its way when it comes to doing whatever it considers necessary in terms of sleep (even though it's frequently wrong!) I can't see that that would be any use for LDing anyway...

Well, instead of having your brain waves naturally reach 3hz, you could just put it at 3hz right before you fall asleep.. I think that could bring REM faster? Which would help with LD's because REM dreams seem to be bizarre so you'd most likely find something out of place and become lucid.

I really don't think it would bring REM any sooner, but you could just do a WBTB and get that effect.

On Friday night I had what felt like the beginning of an oobie and a lucid in which I tried to pull myself out of a mirror, using the 'Deep Theta' preset from the BWGen website.

I have WILDed from Hemi sync Meditation CD. Not exactly sure the brainwaves at the time, but I would guess theta. It is suppossed to put you in deep meditation. I also just purchased a BMV Lucid Cycles CD that brings you into theta and delta and has bursts of Gamma wave patterns to hopefully wake you up in a dream. I feel this would likely work well for using at night. I also purchased a Astral Trance CD from BMV.

I feel that for WILDs you would probably need to go into the theta state while remaining mind awake. Bursting into Beta or Gamma would likely work if you are already asleep though. The BMV Lucid Cycles is designed to be played at night while sleeping, and looped over and over.
