I rolled into position at 04:05, and the INSPEC detected that I started dreaming at 04:06. The first cue was triggered at 04:08, with a total of 12 cues until the final cue woke me up. The progressive cues work great to ensure you wake up in and eventually from the dream, but I’m always left wondering what could have been… the sleep quality can be seen dropping off at 04:15:52 when the audio cue became too loud.

Lucid signal at 06:20
Morse code from Lucid Dream at 06:21
Here we go my first letter from Morse done in LD.
The method to apply it, is to trigger movement of the eye to be seen on EEG.

So here we have the letter F for movement (LLRL) this make EEG signal an arrow down for left and arrow up for the right movement.

This need practice, first to know Morse in real life and to apply after in dream.

Youhouuuuuuu 😉

Our dog woke me up from a dream at 03:30 while barking at something in the trees. I was only able to get back to sleep 2 hours later after a shower. But totally worthwhile as I had a marathon dream session with over a dozen notifications. Most of them went unnoticed as the volume was very low, but in the minute above the effect can clearly be seen. I was able to remain still and re-enter the dream with full lucidity and control.

I was able to sleep in and catch another session a bit later when the sun was already up.

Consistencekey

The algorithm detected the eye movements from the same dream three times in a row in as many minutes at 6 AM. The same time as yesterday. The first two audio tracks did not have an effect, but I recognized the third one right away.

I was trying to dodge COD zombies as I had run out of ammo, and was aware that it was a dream or VR the whole time, but had very little control and my movements were very laggy. I attempted to re-enter after the audio track woke me up, but was too stressed from trying to escape the horde and gave up after 15 minutes.

INSPEC Video Feed

Lucid Scribe can now tap into the video feed from the INSPEC camera if it is plugged in via USB, which will allow for parallel tests against the algorithm on the device’s firmware. Recorded 3 positives and 0 false positives with audio on mute for testing.

I added a new channel that shows when the vREM channel is disabled because large movements have been detected. The minimum and maximum values that define eye movements are now also configurable.

Captured a good REM session starting at 0545.

And here the Toss threshold was reached from eye brow movements during a dream. An extra configuration for the amount of movements above the toss threshold within a timeframe could fix that. 

I used the following settings and had only one false positive while settling down to sleep:

The audio track woke me up after just a few seconds. My eyes can be seen opening in the real world after looking around in the dreamworld in the minute featured above. I have since started a shortlist of tracks that play only a few melodies for a couple of seconds that we have been having more luck with: Shortlist.

I rolled into position at 0320 and was dreaming for the better part of the hour. The audio triggered at 0333, again at 0334 and I dreamt through the tracks without waking. I recalled 3 dreams.

Rapid Eye Movements During Dream

The REM-detection algorithm is now ready to be burnt to the standalone version of the sleep lab and can be seen climbing the planes in the minute above.

I could hear Bob’s voice, but had the most annoying itch on my chin that caused major instabilities in NPR. I tried to hang on for dear life, but the itch was so overpowering that I could not hold still for long. When the eye movements subsided a few minutes later, the twitch grew so strong that it almost triggered the next track.

Sleep and Consciousness Research Graph

I caught another today… the pillow can be seen in the minute above and doesn’t affect the algorithm anymore.   

I have had a few inquires about using the setup without the headband and this shows that it could work if you can sleep close enough to the night-table or have the camera mounted above the bed somehow. I will try to record a session like that one night…
