- Not really about lucidity... but from my experience music can greatly
- improve sleeping. I was used (some time ago) to take 15-minute naps
- with some music running on my ghetto-blaster (later changed it for a
- walkman ;-) at a certain volume level (I've figured out rather exactly
- which level I need). I didn't dream at all during this, so nothing
- about lucidity :-) but I had the feeling that these 10-15 minutes
- could achieve more than three hours of sleep had normally. (Note that
- this was additionally, I didn't change my usual sleeping cycle of 9
- hrs per night. Yes, 9 hrs.)
-
- I did this once at a place where there were doors that led pass noise
- through as would ordinary air, and after that a fellow from the next
- room said to me: "I can't imagine that anybody can sleep at that noise
- level... but you have indeed good music!"
-
- This was NO 'meditation' or 'new-age' music (I don't like that, I had
- even problems to get along with Mike Oldfield records at that time),
- but (in that case) avant-garde disco music (a band called Propaganda,
- if anyone cares). Other candidates for this use are mainstream
- Rock'n'Roll and Beethoven. (I have a broad range of cassettes...)
-
- I usually sleep better with music running. What I really dislike is
- the radio on, since I'm used to switch it off on commercials
- (only twice an hour thanks to German state-run radio regulations) and
- I always dream of the power switch of the radio not working ;-)
-
- I can imagine a certain influence of the DreamLight-type of music on
- lucidity. Maybe if I'm using the same record on many consecutive
- occasions... I'll try, and let you know if it works :-)
