Lucid Dream Biofeedback

[Daece]

I have been trying to lucid dream for about a year now with about 10 successful DILDs and WILDs over that period.  I recently started using the accelerometer in my android to predict REM and heard about various headbands and masks that use EEG machines to predict them more accurately.  Popular headbands are the Aurora Dreamer, Remee, and the NovaDreamer 1 and 2.  Has anyone bought these headbands/masks and found them to increase success?  I'm looking for training wheels and plan on ditching it when it becomes a crutch or need-basis to lucid dream!  If anyone has bought any (even those not listed above), was it helpful or a waste of money?

The only thing I used before I met up with my guide was tapes with binaual beats. I did not find them successful. Your focus has to be trained on the non physical so paying attention to the instrumentation will bounce you back to square one.

Right, and I would be going to sleep after meditation, energy work, etc with my intent.  I used binaural beats for a while until they started giving me headaches after long periods of time.  They eventually became a crutch as I noticed it was difficult to get into trances without them!
