   Has anyone here tried binaural or strobscopic (photic) stimulation? I   
   found binaural to be quite effective:   
      
   Alpha (8-13hz) is great for relaxing   
      
   Theta (4-7hz) is great for meditation / dreaming   
      
   Delta (.5-3hz) puts me to sleep quite quickly.   
      
   I have yet to really expirement with lucid dreaming, but I would imagine   
   the theta state would be a good place to start. Particularly the   
   4.5-7.5hz range seems good to induce dreams. And as far as stroboscopic   
   goes... I've seen some really intense colors, and some nice designs, but   
   no dreams or actual images. I'd say binaural is way better.   
      
   (Binaural is where you listen to two different frequencies in each ear   
   and your brain will be encouraged to adjust to the difference of the   
   two. For instance, playing a 400 in one ear and a 407 in the other, your   
   brain will want to adjust its waves to 7hz, the theta state.)   
      
   (Stroboscope/photic stimulation is where you stair at a flashing light   
   (with your eyes closed, so you dont blind yourself) at the brainwave you   
   want to be at... A light flashing at 10 flashes per second should   
   encourage your brain to move to 10hz waves, the alpha state.)   
      
   So if anyone has tried these for use with lucid dreaming, you should let   
   me know. Supposedly stroboscopic stimulation in the alpha range can   
   cause vivid images, the little talked about "dream machine". A random   
   note... Kurt Cobain (nirvana) owned a dream machine, and used it   
   regularly. Maybe that could help induce lucid dreams.
