The Free Fall

Falling Asleep - Free Fall
You know that feeling that you get when you are just “falling asleep” and you get startled awake by an intense falling sensation? Well, I was lucky enough to be wearing my halograph after working very late when that happened last night. I was convinced that all of the measurement axes would be spiking much longer, but the effect is barely noticeable in the minute above. 

As a consequence of coding too much and sleeping too little, there is no REM sleep in the entire recording. Only a false positive while falling asleep.

Astral Projection - Vibrations
At the start and end of almost every REM episode recorded so far there is a brief spurt of movement equivalent to turning around or rolling over, as can be seen in the first 10 seconds of the minute above.The audio track – triggered by the start of fREM, interrupted the blinking before the 5th blink and induced lucidity again.

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.

M-Band Noise
The audio track had an immediate and observable effect on my eye movements again. It took well over a minute to detect REM, however, but the onset was abnormally noisy and rapid. 

I removed the halograph at 03h20 after a long dream. I want to believe that the Frequency Monitor records M Band noise when it idles.

Electronically Induced Lucid Dream
The featured minute shows the detection of a dream within the first 30 seconds of REM sleep. The start of fREM is when it detected blinking and played Voodoo People by The Prodigy. The subsequent pause indicates lucidity triggered by the song and the final quake might just be human flight. Or at least a giant leap.

For you tread on my dreams.This is the first entry; a recording of my movements while asleep. The 2745 data points collected in the minute above show the onset of REM sleep. The start of a dream.
