It is best to use lucid dream induction devices like the NovaDreamer, the REM-Dreamer or the SmartLucider
in conjunction with other techniques for inducing lucid dreams, especially as described in many books
or internet articles. The best strategy to use with these types of devices is a method called
MILD - Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dreaming. In brief, the procedure is; when you wake up (either by
waking naturally or by the DreamAlarm option featured in many lucid dreaming masks) to recollect
your dream. Stay awake for 5-15 minutes, thinking about your dream. Remember if you saw any kind of
unusual flashing light in your dream. Then, close your eyes, replay the dream in your mind, and
visualize yourself becoming lucid in the dream. Repeat to yourself, "The next time I dream, I will
become aware that I am dreaming". Do this over and over. You can "rehearse" with a lucid dreaming mask
by imagining that you are dreaming, pressing the "Reality Testing Button" and then, upon seeing the
flashing light and sound cues, think to yourself, "I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming." Repeat this over and over.
