Binaural Dream is an unguided meditation practice exploring sound's ability to entrain the brain into higher states of consciousness. Layers of binaural beats, deep bass, and Rav Drum rhythms come together to help you relax, release pain and rise into ever higher peaks of love and gratitude. Practice daily to enhance your life in the following areas: • Sleep • Focus • Creativity • Memory • Lucid Dreaming • Pain Management • Stress Reduction • Happiness & Gratitude • Mindfulness & Transcendental States What are binaural beats? The word “binaural” means relating to or used by both ears. "Binaural beats" describes a change in brain activity while listening to two slightly different tones in stereo. The brain hears a beating tone at the rate of the difference between the tones, not the actual tones themselves. This phenomenon entrains the brain into different brainwave states and can produce a range of beneficial results. Synchronized vibrations are at the heart of human consciousness. Mastering the brains relationship with vibration can help unlock our ability to focus, relax, and even lucid dream. Types of binaural beat tones and their effects: Delta: Deep Sleep, Pain Relief, Cortisol Reduction Theta: Lucid Dreaming, Trance States, Meditation, Creativity Alpha: Stress Reduction, Positive Thinking, Relaxed Focus Beta: Concentration, Critical Thinking WHAT YOU’LL GET: • An introductory pack for sleep and relaxation to determine if Binaural Dream is right for you. • Activate a subscription to unlock other areas of focus including stress reduction, pain management, gratitude, creativity, lucid dreaming, and balance. • Easy to use interface that allows you to jump into meditation within seconds. • Unguided meditation sessions that support your personal journey towards increased mindfulness and self awareness. • Track your daily practice goals and total time meditated. • Over a thousand minutes of tones and music are available for you to create a routine that suits your needs. • 10, 20, and 30 minute sessions available to fit into your schedule. • New packs published regularly.

On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
