What the heck are binaural beats?
Binaural beats are the name given to a certain type of music or frequencies that can train the brain into different states. They are actually more of an effect, a perceptual effect to be exact. The effect occurs when you wear stereo headphones. A frequency of 500 hertz is played in one ear, 510 hertz in the other, and the brain will then entrain to 10 hertz.
When the brain is giving off brainwaves mostly in the 10 hertz range, the person becomes very relaxed, getting ready for sleep or meditation. You can use binaural beats to induce sleep, relaxation, alertness, and most importantly: lucid dreaming.
Why use binaural beats for lucid dreaming?
Because they can be effective. Plain and simple. One of the biggest issues people have when learning to lucid dream is they can’t reach the relaxed state needed to slip into a dream lucidly. Some fall asleep too easily, and then need a bit more awareness as they fall asleep, while others have trouble falling asleep and therefore need help relaxing. Binaural beats can be helpful for both types of people.
You can also use certain preset binaural beats that specifically help in inducing lucid dreams. These presets are often based on our normal sleep cycles, so they help you bring awareness when you are likely to be in a dream.
