Are you ready? 

Best lucid dreaming devices or masks in 2024

This list is not in a particular order, and the links open in new tabs.

Please make sure that before trying any of these, you can ALREADY lucid dream.

1: Remee Dreamer Lucid Dreaming Mask (classic)

The Remee Dreamer sleep mask is a fairly well known one in the lucid dreaming community.

It’s more pricey than the Dream Essentials masks but also does a lot more. It’s currently priced at $95, which isn’t actually bad for a sleep mask like this. Various sales have seen it reduced to $75 at certain points during the year though, so you can always keep an eye out for a good deal.

Remee lucid dremaing device

It has a simple design, but is comfortable to wear.

The material is designed to let air flow through it, so heat and sweat are less likely to irritate you during the night. It’s also soft so no matter how much you roll around in your sleep, you shouldn’t even notice it.

As well as being slim and comfortable, it also involves some clever technology. Lights are displayed to trigger lucidity, they work by reminding you you’re dreaming, as your brain will associate the lights with the waking world. You can also adjust the lights to how you want them, so if they’re too bright or fast flashing and it’s just stopping you from sleeping, simply use either the online tool or app to change them to the brightness and speed you need.

You might think the technology would surely affect comfort, but it can bend to suit the shape of your head, so the mask can actually be personal to you. There’s no rigid discomfort. It’s also lightweight so easy to take travelling, something you want of a sleep mask as they’re particularly good at helping you battle jet lag.

2: REM Dreamer Pro Lucid Dream Induction

Again, this mask has light technology that causes lights to flash when you are in REM sleep, only the lights are also accompanied by an audible beeping, just in case the lights aren’t enough for you.

You can also customise the beeps to be louder which is particularly handy for any deep sleepers or the hard of hearing.

REM dreamer pro lucid machine

The REM Dreamer continues to run with the audible theme and has a feature that we haven’t really seen in any other sleep mask, it has the ability to record and play voice messages. The idea is that you can record yourself saying something like ‘I am dreaming’ and set it to play when the mask detects that you are in REM sleep.

If you sleep beside a partner you might be worrying that this would probably be quite annoying for them, but this mask comes with a headphone so that only you can hear the beeps and messages. It’s not a headphone that’s going to fall out either though, it doesn’t actually go in your ear, it’s just attached to the mask near your ear. There’s no risk of it falling off.

This is an impressive mask, and could be especially useful anyone with visual impairment, but it’s price is reflective of it’s unique qualities, costing around $170.

3: Mindfold Relaxation Sleep Mask

Although not a direct ‘lucid dreaming mask’ this can be used to get you in the right mindset and help you relax.

This is a cheaper mask for those of you looking for something that wont leave a hole in your wallet, is the Mindfold Relaxation Mask. It only costs $15 but again you get what you pay for, and what you pay for here is a simple sleep mask with no in-built technology.

mindfold-relaxation-mask-for-lucid-dreaming

It comes with earplugs to block out sound as well as light, so you’ll be able to eradicate any distractions when trying to get to sleep. Cheaper masks can sometimes be less likely to actually block out light effectively but this mask is actually pretty good, giving you complete darkness.

It’s comfortable to wear and again is built with an eye cavity, with eye sensitivity and make up in mind. This is good if you’re planning on wearing it traveling, no one wants to get off a flight with their mascara smeared across their face.

There isn’t much detail to give about this sleep mask, other than it’s cheap and does exactly what you would expect and want a simple sleep mask to do.

4: Glo to Sleep Dream Mask

This is another more high tech mask, it’s similar to the Neuroon (which I’ll move onto in just a moment) only a third of the price, costing only $100.

Glo to sleep lucid dreaming induction machine

Rather than simple flashing lights, the light technology in this mask is a step up, simulating sunset and sunrise at the beginning and end of your sleep. This allows you to feel as though you’re waking up naturally, with the sun. It’s a lot more gradual and pleasant than a shrill alarm.

If you don’t think that’ll be enough to bring you out of your slumber though, you can set an alarm to play through the mask. There is also an app it can connect to so that you can set your mask to different time zones, so that the sunset and sunrise simulation can be set to suit you.

To help you get to sleep there’s a pulsing light (which can be adjusted). The slow pulsing light calms your mind and sends you to sleep, almost like hypnosis, and once you are asleep and in the REM stage of sleep, can help you become lucid.

The Glo to Sleep mask comes with a travel case to make it extra handy to carry around without risk of damage.

The next two masks you could perhaps consider the ultimate sleep masks for lucid dreamers…

5: Neuroon Lucid Dreaming Mask

The Neuroon is one the most impressive masks you’ll come across, it has everything you could possibly need.

It has an artificial sunrise to wake you up gradually, which is definitely nicer than a sudden and irritating alarm.

This is also good if you’re jet lagged, or travelling, as you can use it to realign your body clock.

Neuroon sleep mask

The mask can be customised by you to make it work around your lifestyle so it’s good for anyone with shift work or anyone that just likes a nap, as the Neuroon can even help you plan the best time and length of a nap.

It analyses your sleep and gives you feedback in the morning, so you can plan how to make the most of your rest in future nights. The Neuroon is one of the only devices that actually gives you an accurate and thorough report of how you slept. Many with sleep disorders have spent hundreds on having similar readings in a medical environment.

As for how it caters to lucid dreamers specifically, there’s a whole app for dreamers that connects to the mask. The Neuroon detects when you are in REM sleep and starts flashing lights that let you know you’re dreaming.

UPDATE: They no longer cater to lucid dreams, this functionality is gone. 

There’s no denying that this is one of the ultimate sleep masks, but it comes at a price. This costs almost $300, which admittedly is a lot to spend on a sleep mask, but then when you consider how much it does, and how much of our lives we spend sleeping, is it really that bad?

We also have a detailed review of the Neuroon sleep mask if you’re interested.

6: Aurora Lucid Dreaming Device By Iwinks

This mask is fairly impressive and comes with several important features that make it a great lucid dreaming mask.

The only annoying thing is that at the moment it’s not available for purchase and you can only preorder it.

7: The Limina Meditation Mask (Mind Machine)

This is really a meditation mask more than anything.

BUT it does have some lucid dreaming tracks and modes, and the features area REALLY interesting on this one.

You can watch a short video I made about it here:

But the Limina is probably one of the best mind machines out there at the moment. (Previously, I said the best mind machine was the ‘Kasina’ but this takes priority over that mask now, and is very much an improvement). 

If you want to take it to the next level, try these harmonically coded lucid dreaming tracks. It’s coded based on the golden ratio so it’s next level. 

8: The iBand+

The iBand+ is a brand new EEG sensing headband that can detect when you’re in REM sleep and can then play audio visual cues to you in your dream. It’s a great way to get started with lucid dreaming tech, but you should make sure you know how to actually lucid dream before using it!

9: Lucid Dreamer Mask (It’s Literally Called That)

This isn’t a typo, this mask is actually just called the ‘Lucid Dreamer’ clearly marketed at me and you, lucid dreamers.

This looked to be a really promising project but didn’t seem to go anywhere, but here’s hoping they’ll revive it soon! (I’ll update this if they do decide to launch!)

10: Sleep Shepherd Blue

The Sleep Shepherd is the best (I saved the best to last) lucid dreaming mask I’ve seen that you can ACTUALLY buy right now.

It detects your brainwaves using an EEG scanner in real time and changes the binaural beats (YES it plays them!) to match your brainwave state, and lulls you into sleep or a lucid dream. Check it out here!

11: NovaDreamer (Old But Classic)

This is one of the oldest and most basic lucid dreaming masks I’m aware of.

Put together by a team lead by Doctor Stephen Laberge (Author of Exploring the world of lucid dreams). It isn’t in production anymore but you can probably find one second hand on Amazon. It’s a simple mask based on detecting REM eye movements and showing you flashing lights.

12: LucidCatcher (NOT AVAILABLE)

This is another fantastic lucid dreaming mask that you can actually buy (UPDATE: You can’t any more as of 2019 or so).

LucidCatcher is a really interesting product that not only detects your brainwaves and stimulates your brain but it zaps your brain with tiny electric impulses designed to MOVE it into another state (lucid)

LucidCatcher by Luciding

The interesting thing about their original pitch on Kickstarter was that when it was released they would sell people bundles of ‘tokens’ that gave people for example 10 guaranteed lucid dreams at a certain price, sort of like the Netflix of lucid dreaming.

13: Instadreamer Lucid Dreaming Wristband

The Instadreamer is a fairly new addition to the lucid dreaming devices list, and it’s not a mask at all. 

It’s a vibrating wearable wristband device, that vibrates reminding you to reality check during the night. The idea is that it vibrates at the right time, and if you’ve been training with it properly, you’ll be reminded to reality check INSIDE the dream. 

The problem?

It’s not been tested or proven, and almost two years has gone by since it was funded, with no sign of even a working prototype. You can read my detailed look at the Instadreamer here

14: Somni Lucid Dreaming Mask

The Somni mask is actually one of the newest lucid dreaming devices, and it works slightly differently than most of the others mentioned here. 

Why?

This mask is much like a sleep mask, BUT it can detect you’re in REM sleep by tracking the physical eye movements you’re making.

This is very promising but I haven’t yet had the chance to test it in depth. You can read my unboxing and review of the mask here, or watch my video unboxing below:

Or…

You can read on to learn why ALL lucid dreaming masks FAIL…

Can you guess why? 

Why lucid dreaming masks FAIL

The thing is:

Most lucid dreaming masks end up NOT being fully funded, OR they get funded and nothing happens. 

That’s because it’s VERY difficult to create a device that actually gives people lucid dreams. It’s just not really possible right now. There are no masks or devices that REALLY give people lucid dreams.

But don’t despair. 

The future is upon us, and before you know it, there WILL be lucid dreaming masks that can induce vivid dreams just by thinking about them, and pressing a button. But right now, it’s just not possible.

Although there have been MANY lucid dreaming masks out there, NONE of them can reliably induce lucid dreams, other than a couple of really old masks and devices that never got funded or developed further.

There is NO mass market, publicly available lucid dreaming mask that WORKS, as of now, November 4th 2019. 

So what can you do? 

You probably came here wanting something that would GUARANTEE you’d lucid dream, if you just paid for it, and did what it said, right?

There IS a solution like that. In fact, consider this…

Most of the lucid dreaming devices mentioned here cost hundreds of dollars. In fact, almost all of them are over $300, and you’d have to pay it BEFORE the product even existed, or was ready to be shipped to you.

And EVEN THEN, it wouldn’t work. 

But what I’d like to offer is my Lucid Dreaming BOOTCAMP course. It’s a fraction of the price of a lucid dreaming device, and probably more effective. 

And?

IT GUARANTEES YOU’LL LUCID DREAM. 

For real. You can get ALL of your money back instantly, if you DON’T lucid dream within two WEEKS starting from TODAY. That’s a guarantee that no lucid dream device can make, and you can get started right now, from the comfort of your home.

To top this off, try taking these lucid dreaming pills and you are well on your way to lucid dreaming like a pro. 

How to make SURE you lucid dream

If you’re really serious about learning to control your dreams and you REALLY want it to happen, you need to build up the HABITS you’ll need to lucid dream. These are very important, and learning the wrong things will mean you’ll waste HOURS. 

I created a highly effective step by step Lucid Dreaming BOOTCAMP course that FORCES you to lucid dream. If you don’t lucid dream within 2 weeks, you can get your money back.

Here’s some of what you’ll learn in the bootcamp course: 

  • Exactly what to practice, which techniques, reality checks, exercises and ideas you should do on specific days for 30 days (and how to do them) so you can just save loads of time
  • It’s like I’m taking you by the hand as if I were there coaching you personally (which would cost several hundred dollars and take lots of time). Many students love the bootcamp because it feels like I’m personally helping them do all of this, and making it less confusing!
  • Learn why lots of people read lucid dreaming books but can’t ACTUALLY have a lucid dream because they don’t build up the habits they need in the right way. They practice the wrong things that actually stop them being able to lucid dream! (Plus a lot of common lucid dreaming books teach stuff that doesn’t work, you’d be surprised)
  • Some simple and effective ways to set up your dream journal properly so you can easily refer back to old dreams, and a simple trick you can use to make sure that you always know what works best for you (Almost no-one does this for some reason)
  • The strange but powerful meditation technique you can do to have more lucid dreams every week (and it only takes 30 seconds)
  • The most common reality checks and how to do them so you can test whether you’re awake and naturally lucid dream most nights (Even when you’re not putting in much effort, or haven’t been practicing)
  • The weird ‘island visualisation’ technique I created to help you drift into a lucid dream much faster than normal, and stay in your lucid dreams for much longer than most people!
  • Specific lucid dreaming induction techniques and the BEST way to practice them (This includes the Wake back to bed, The Wake induced lucid dream, the Mnemonic induced lucid dream and lots more, but with my unique TWIST to make them more effective!)
  • A way of talking to yourself that will give you lucid dreams and ensures that you KEEP having lucid dreams. It’s almost like you’re training your own brain to have MORE of the experiences you want!
  • Exactly WHEN to practice each specific thing! I’ll tell you on each specific day, what techniques, ideas and methods you need to practice or think about on that day to lucid dream. It’s like I’m personally coaching you and making SURE you have a lucid dream!
  • And remember, you can do these exercises and techniques in as little as 3-5 minutes per day (Of course, you could spend longer if you want, it’s up to you and how much free time you have, but it can and will work with just 3 minutes per day)

Get the step by step Lucid Dreaming BOOTCAMP course that FORCES you to lucid dream. This will work for you, even if nothing you’ve tried before has worked. Don’t take my word for it, read the huge load of reviews on the page.
