WHAT IS LUCIDIA?
Lucidia is one part of a multi-faceted approach towards the art of lucid dreaming, which uses state-of-the-art brainwave entrainment technology to help mimic a state of wakeful consciousness in your sleep, leading to complete control over your dream environment. This lucid dream induction will help provide that extra kick to lucidity as you learn to break down the walls dividing your dream and waking state through the use of state-checking, journalling etc.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Lucidia works firstly by guiding you into a deep sleep over the course of one hour. On an EEG graph, deep, dreamless sleep is characterised by a rhythm of slow, high amplitude delta waves.
After one hour, the delta waves begin to shoot up to a higher frequency ALPHA wave, aka the ‘Alpha Trigger’, the object of which is to trigger lucidity. Alpha still very much corresponds to a relaxed, almost vacuous mind state, but relative to slow wave delta sleep it provides the necessary spike to induce more ‘wakeful’ brainwave activity without risking total wakefulness with beta or gamma. Versions 2 & 3 make use of both these frequency bands as triggers – but for now, use this audio as your foundation and work your way up to the beta and gamma triggers in Lucidia v2 (beta trigger) and v3 (gamma trigger – coming soon).
While you may risk wakefulness with these later audios, they also increase your chances of lucidity due to the more pronounced frequencies, so if you’re a seasoned lucid dreamer, or are experienced with falling asleep to brainwave entrainment audios, you may wish to consider those audios instead. That’s not to say that Version 1 won’t benefit you though.
HOW DO I LISTEN?
Simply listen as you fall asleep. Isochronic tones are used in addition to binaural beats, so no headphones are required. We recommend a low volume, but just high enough for you to perceive the pulsing effect of the isochronic. The music should be easily ignorable. Please note that in order to keep the file size down, this audio features one cycle rather than the three in the Youtube version. If you wish to listen to this beyond the one cycle, simply use your MP3 player’s loop function.
STATEMENTS OF INTENT
It may help to mentally recite any or all of the following statements before you go to sleep:
“I will lucid dream tonight”
“I will wake up within my dream”
“Recognizing when I am dreaming is becoming effortless”
“I am starting to remember my dreams every day”
“I am becoming a lucid dreamer”
“Controlling my dreams is becoming easy”
“My dream awareness is growing stronger”
“I will control my dreams”
“I am transforming into someone who lucid dreams each and every night”
“I will recognize when I am dreaming”
HOW CAN I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT LUCID DREAMING?
If you’re new to this, and would like more information on how to lucid dream, there are two books we recommend:
1)’How to Master Lucid Dreaming’ by Sean Kelly
2)’Exploring The World of Lucid Dreaming’ by Stephen Laberge.
The Sean Kelly book is more to the point, while the Laberge’s book is more in depth. If you’re a total beginner and can only buy one, go for the Sean Kelly one as it provides a concise methodical approach.
