Thread: REM DReamer works! Sort Of...

Hey, how does the 2-Way communication work? What can you tell the REM-Dreamer when you are lucid? Do you sort of use it just to tell the thing to stop flashing at you once you are lucid?

I ordered one of these the other day. I plan to have some lucids under my belt before I start using it, it's just something I'd really like to experiment with though.

When you ordered it, did you get an acknowledgment when it has been shipped or anything? I ordered mine a few days ago, and haven't heard anything. I'm keen to know when I will be getting it.

The 2WC works quite well. When the REM DREAMER starts cueing you just move your eyes up and down and it stops. It works well.

You get a couple of basic settings - low thru high. The Low setting just uses series of flashes in increasing intensity. The high setting uses both beeps and flashes. The medium setting starts with just flashing and then adds beeps iin the later series of cues.

The only thing I dont like about the 2WC is that it overides your normal settings for number of flashes/beeps. I like long sequences of cues - at least 20 seconds. The 2WC feature ignores your settings for cue lengths, brightness, number of flashes a second, etc. I hope in future versions the TWC version will be customizeable.
