Rapid Eye Movement Chart Blinks
14 blinks can be seen in the minute featured above. This is right before the audio track played in the next minute and ended the dream, rather abruptly.Download entry as Lucid Scribe Data (LSD) or Comma Separated Values (CSV) or watch the video.

Fast Beat

Rapid Eye Movement Graph Heartbeat
The blinks were too weak to activate the audio track, but the heartbeat reading is very clear throughout the entire recording. 16 REM blinks can be seen in the featured minute along with 74 heartbeats – much faster than usual.

The audio track played seven minutes into the dream and abruptly ended the rapid eye movements. 

Preparation: smoked and chewed a few Calea leaves.

Too Loud

Rapid Eye Movement Dream

Six blinks can be seen before the audio track played, but I couldn’t contain myself and woke up. The latest version of Lucid Scribe now shows which track was played and makes navigating to the detected REM periods easier.

Eye Movement Types

Rapid Eye Movement Types
There are two distinct classes of eye movements that I have been observing. There are the solid blinks, five of which can be seen in the first twenty seconds of the minute above, that peak for over a thousand milliseconds. 

Then there are the twitches, six of which can be seen in the second half, that barely last a hundred milliseconds. I suspect that some are lost because the resolution (10 FPS) is too low; there was probably one before and one after the four twitches in the middle.

REM during a Dream.
The track played within a minute of the onset of REM – after 8 blinks, and the dream lasted for almost 3 minutes, although the effect of the anthem is not noticeable on the eye movements.

REM Wave

Alternating Rapid Eye Movements
I can sometimes see a 30 second wave-like pattern in the intensity of the blinks; two such waves can be seen in the featured minute.

Alternating Rapid Eye Movements
The nine peaks in the minute above are part of seven phases of REM that occured during a ten minute window where the blinking started and stopped roughly every thirty to sixty seconds. The track had played twenty minutes earlier, but I have no memory of it.

REM Pattern

REM Sleep Pattern
Another one slipped by. Now that I finally have the playlist functionality implemented, I need to rework the REM detection algorithm in light of all the dreams I have recorded since I wrote the first version. 

Fourteen very solid blinks can be seen in the minute above taken from a dream that lasted over ten minutes. A lot of the blinks drop below the 800 line inside of the blink, which is what is throwing the algorithm off. This can be seen in blinks 5, 6, 7 and 9.
