11 Advanced Binaural Dream Induction Programs in One App! Dream Inducer combines soothing ambient sounds with powerful binaural sequences to synchronize your brainwaves with frequencies associated with 11 different levels of dreaming. * Universal iOS App for iPhone/Pad * Headphones or Earbuds must be worn for binaural tones to be effective. * Each program includes a sleep induction phase and then introduces progressively higher frequency Alpha, Beta, and Theta dream sequences to stimulate increasingly vivid dreams. * To combine Brainwaves and Ambience with Audio from Another App use the 'Ambience + Other App' background mode. * To use just Brainwaves and Audio from Another App use the "Other App" option for the Background Mode. ** How Binaural Brainwave Entrainment Works ** Through the process of brainwave entrainment human brainwave frequencies can be synchronized with a frequency associated with a target mental state. These Brainwave frequencies are too low for the human ear to hear, however, these low-frequencies can be perceived by the human brain if two different audible frequencies are played separately into each ear with headphones or earbuds. For example, the human ear can't directly perceive the 2 Hz Delta-wave frequency associated with deep sleep, but if you wear headphones with one side playing a 135 Hz tone and the other playing a 137 Hz tone your brain will perceive the 2 Hz difference between those frequencies as a periodic beat. As you listen, your brainwaves will begin to match that frequency, inducing the associated mental state. Dream Inducer improves upon basic binaural techniques by layering multiple signals and then assembling these into sequences of programs that combine to create extremely unique experiences.

Ghost Communicator is a professional-grade real-time spirit communicator and EVP recorder (Ghostbox). This app is not a toy. It is the product of years of research and experimentation in Instrumental Trans-Communication (ITC). It is designed for serious paranormal investigators, ghost hunters, and those seeking to communicate with the unknown. KEY FEATURES: • EVP Ghostbox: Capture and process sounds from the microphone in real-time. Theories suggest that spirits can manipulate audio frequencies to generate paranormal activity. What you hear and see is being recorded live. • EMF Word Dictionary (Ovilus Style): The app converts environmental readings into real words. Using the magnetometer (compass sensor) in your iPhone, the app detects magnetic fluctuations caused by entities and allows them to choose a response from a database of over 10,000 words. No random generators are used. • NEW: AI Spirit Interpreter: We have bridged the gap between technology and the paranormal. Use our advanced Artificial Intelligence to interpret detected words into coherent, chilling sentences. (Requires Spirit Credits). • Screen Recording: Document your evidence! Record your entire session—including audio and on-screen activity—to review later or share with your team. THEORY & RESEARCH: The core concept is that outside forces can affect and manipulate the magnetic fields around us. Theories suggest that spirits and paranormal entities are able to alter these electromagnetic frequencies to consciously select a response from our preset database. INSTRUCTIONS: Use in a quiet environment. It is highly advisable to plug in external speakers for clearer EVP results. Be respectful. Disclaimer: While this app is built on legitimate ITC theories, paranormal activity cannot be scientifically proven. This app is intended for paranormal investigation and entertainment purposes only.
