Dream Alarm

Dream Alarm
There are two blinks that look more like flutters in the minute before this one, which I believe caused the track to play repeatedly. And me to wake up in the middle of a good dream. I removed the halograph and made a note to debug this.

REM Alarm

REM Alarm
The volume was too loud and the track woke me up right out of the dream. A further contributing factor may be that I have been using the anthem as the ringtone of my phone in the lab as of late. But I feel like I just got home, which confirms other researchers’ findings that a person feels the most refreshed when awoken during the REM phase. 

The 8 blinks required by the algorithm to play the anthem can all be seen in the minute above. The 3 twitches that followed the anthem (after fREM) is a feeble attempt to cling onto the dream and all the noise in the minute after this one is wakefulness.

Inception Device
By popular request I enqueued Edith Piaf’s “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien”. Regrettably, I do not remember any manifestation of it in my dream, nor see any observable effects from fREM. 

My suspicion is that it is too calm or was too quite, but I will keep it on file and try again on a rainy day. Perhaps a little louder. Until then I will go back to my original plan of using snippets from my favorite vocal and progressive trance songs.

The moment of inception featured above does, however, highlight an interesting phenomenon that I have been noticing; the breath can sometimes be seen in the trend of the peaks and troughs of the heartbeat.
