Singularity is an iPhone application that plays audio, vibration and light reminders at night to help you realize that you are dreaming, wake you up and help you re-enter your dreams consciously. When you know that you are dreaming, and are experiencing your dreams consciously, you may do anything that you wish. It is a brand new kind of virtual reality like entertainment.
Dream Reentry/ DEILD/Dream Chaining explained:
If you are a complete beginner and do not recognize any of these terms, this 10 minute tutorial will make it pretty clear as to what you may be getting with Singularity Experience 1.0 . The app is intended to be used with this technique: Dream reentry.
Dream Reentry Self-Hypnosis and affirmation script
Self hypnosis works best when you do not feel anything. With this script, you can put yourself into a light hypnosis state, where your intention to re-enter dreams consciously upon awakening will be intensified.
Beginner Video Tutorial:
This tutorial covers multiple aspects of the app, from calibration to starting the app and dream journaling.
Biological Clock Tutorial:
This tutorial explains the Singularity Tab, home of the Astro-Biological Clock. This clock looks complex, but by watching the tutorial you would be able to easily understand it.
The clock Helps you:
- Pick wake up times
- Bed times
- Predict when dreaming will happen
- Understand if you will be feeling Jet Lag
Configuring Dream Reentry Reminders:
The core of the application is it’s ability to deliver light-audio reminders in *suspected REM*.
The tutorial helps you:
- Understand which reminder will be played
- Pick duration and intensity
Light reminder warning:
Your brain would feel receptive to some reminders, but will be confused and frazzled by others. Avoid rapidly changing between reminders in a short period of time:

Hello,
I purchased your app and I am very dissapointed with it. It just makes no sense and ive been watching the tutorials all day and its just so confusing. For example why do the little buttons (vibrate etc) rotate? It just makes no sense! I’m really upset and want my money back can you please refund me? Otherwise I am sorry but I will have to give you a very poor review.
Thank you
Jared
Sorry for the disappointment. I’m sure Apple has some form of a refund program that you can take advantage of
Im going to try reading and watching the tutorials on this app this week if I get time and hopefully start using it this week sometime. I will let you know how I get on.
Hi Matt,
I’m putting update 1.3 up for review today. it has a little bit easier interface with labels. I’ll post a new video on youtube about the update:
https://www.youtube.com/user/LucidDreamingApp/videos
Ive not had much of an oppurtunity to use the app but the last 4 times I have used it I dont seem to hear any alarm, see any sound or feel any vibration. Ive looked through all the video tutorials and set my bedtime and make sure each dream reminder is switched on, the volume is up and that its plugged into the mains electric so its not running out of batteries.
When you set a dream reminder will it always go off once the clock hand falls in line with it or does the app predict if I am awake and if so not play the dream reminder?
Also when you press config then Vibration, the vibration button rotates but Im not sure why and what its doing. It also does this with the Audio and Light buttons when you press them. What is the purpose of these rotating buttons?
Hi have you any answers to the above comment? I appreciate you must be very busy just would like to use this regularly and at the moment Im having a few issues with it.
Hi, I bought the app for my ios5 iPad2, works fine for 2 nights, records my sleep cycle pattern and the alarm rings fine, but then it starts to freeze awhile after I start the app, eg I plug the power and start the app and went to bed, upon waking up at 8am the time displayed on the app and the info bar is both stuck at 1.35 and won’t respond to anything, didn’t record my sleep cycle either. Can u fix this? It froze on both singularity and beginner dield tab
I’ve never tested the app on an iPad. This is something to look into for the next release
The same thing was happening to me so I deleted the app off my device then downloaded it again and so far its working
I have version 1.3 and I would like to know when I can get version 1.3+
I am interested in seeing a graph of sleep states, can version 1.3 do this.
I see version 1.3+ has this feature.
Thanks
Chuck
There’s already a graph in the … more tab. It shows sleep depth and REM sleep states.
My question is the same as Mats, I don’t hear any rminders ever play. Can you please answer the question.I have used it I dont seem to hear any alarm, see any sound or feel any vibration. Ive looked through all the video tutorials and set my bedtime and make sure each dream reminder is switched on, the volume is up and that its plugged into the mains electric so its not running out of batteries.

You can test the reminder from the beginner screen, or you can open the right panel, tap on reminder, select 0 minute delay and tap the play button on the right panel. THis will schedule a reminder to play immediately.
To see if your app played reminders, consult the status log (tap on a history row and email yourself the data). If the app plays reminders, then you need to experiment with intensity. Otherwise, try mounting it on the wrist and running the app in the wristband mode.
Thanks for answers to previous questions about alarms, I got the alarms to pay by deleting the App and reinstalling it. I may have configured in a mode that prevented it from playing alarms.
I have another question: The alarms go off according to the sleep cycle, so is the App just a sophisticated timer. Does the app attempt to predict REM sleep from the motion detector?
I have the app running on my desk and I can see and hear the alarms going off at the alarm times. I think the app should attempt to predict REM sleep based on the motion detector and then in conjunction with the sleep cycle play an alarm. I would think that if a 90 minute sleep cycle occurs the app should not play any alarm unless the motion detector is predicting REM sleep. Otherwise I could have just set my IPhone to play multiple alarms every 90 minutes and would not have needed to purchase the app.
Please provide a detailed response explaining how the motion detection information/data is used with respect to generating an alarm. Thanks Chuck.
The app has plenty of data export options for you to check if it is really working. Without going into detail on how the algorithm works. Your app is on your desk, your phone registers your keystrokes, nudging of the table, etc. Over time it detects a pattern and plays the alarm. If you leave the phone completely motionless, it should not play an alarm. Send yourself the data from the app to see how your phone behaves while it is on your desk.
Hi Alexander,
I was very interested and was wondering how it is possible that the ipod/iphone gets feedback from the body that it is dreaming (REM-sleep) ?
When looking in itunes i was a bit disappointed because I saw that it was only an app for 4G ipod/iphones. Why does it work on ipod 2G and why shouldn’t be possible to run on a 2G ?
Thanks
Wim
I only have an iPhone 4, and can only develop for that device. More devices to develop for = a lot more headache and issues. This is one of the reason why I program for iPhone now, and not android :/
I love the app, and I understand the interface and all it’s features, however, when I wake up every morning, the app is frozen. And it force closes. And there was no data taken from my sleep. Frusterating. Ive run it every night for two weeks. And it’s only worked two nights. Do you have any way of making it not do this? I really
Want this app to work.
