The Lucid Scribe Database is a collection of sessions recorded from various biofeedback devices during REM sleep, the onset of sleep and other states in which hallucinations occur. The focus is on the physiological changes with only brief mention of any subjective experiences.
Eye movements, brain waves, heart beats and breathing patterns are of primary interest. Audio tracks are also noted when played during the dream state. The songs can sometimes be heard in the dream world and that knowledge can be acted upon – by flying, for example.
Each entry in the database contains a printout of the most interesting minute in the recording along with a brief description of any interesting findings.
The software, Lucid Scribe, is made available for free and anyone with a compatible biofeedback device can contribute to the database. If your device isn’t listed yet, just ask – I can probably roll a plug-in in one evening without breaking a sweat.

Hey,
I’m looking at the screenshots and see multiple graphs on each one. Are they all related? Which colored line shows accelerometer output with the heartbeat and rapid eye movement?
Thank you!
Yes, they are all related. F1 = X, F2 = Y, F3 = Z and FM is the sum of them. fREM (orange) is when it detects the blinking pattern, which is currently configured as 8 times of 1-5 ticks above 800 followed by 30-60 ticks below 600 in a row.
I happened across your site. I share your interest but I kind of miss a bit of background information. Why would you play music when you get into the REM sleep state, is it not anoying to wake up every time you hear the music?
I share your interest because I tend to speak in my sleep quite often but usually people who were in the room cant remember what I said. Any ideas what I could do to investigate this?
regards, Johan
The idea is to wake up inside of the dream and act on that knowledge – by flying, for example. I will write a plugin for Lucid Scribe that will monitor the volume from a microphone during the course of the night so you can investigate this further. And I believe Alexander’s Lucid Dreaming App for the Android has the ability to record any sounds during the night.
If you wake up in the middle or at the start of the REM, the body will naturally fall back a sleep a minute or two later. This *in theory* allows for two most effective lucid dreaming techniques known to man to be used: WILD and DEILD. Look them up on Dreamviews.com. These techniques allow for *at will* lucid dreaming, which is the goal of this project.
I finally managed to perform this feat. The anthem woke me up at the start of REM, but I managed to remain completely still for the next 10 minutes and start dreaming again: 2012-02-08 – Dream End Induced.
So is the acronym a coincidence? None of your experiments seem to have involved drugs that I have noticed.
The acronym was consciously written. Part of the vision for the database is to have entries like the erowid experience vaults, except with recordings of the physiological effects from biofeedback devices. I don’t have much yet, but you can expect the list to grow: lsdbase.org/category/substances.
Do you have a DIY tutorial on how you made your headband? That would be amazing.
I am working on a tutorial that I will release when I am ready to start producing.
I happened to run across the site last night and I decided to use the FIELD mouse (nice pun btw).
Now, I’m just wondering where I sign up, so I can post.
Thanks! Just right-click on the log and select export to LSDBase.
Hello. I own Zeo Mobile and would like to somehow contribute to your research, if you don’t mind. BTW do you plan on doing apps for mobile devices? (IPhone, IPod Touch, Android smartphones)
I am working on apps for mobile devices as we speak. You could test the Lucid Scribe Zeo plugin for me – no one has tried it yet. You would have to hack your device with a special version of the firmware from the Zeo Raw Data Library:
