NovaDreamer
I have used this and the functions are highly customisable, as well as dream log file produced after each session showing how many cues were sent.
The USA product NovaDreamer detects when you’re in REM sleep, then gives you a cue (flashing lights or sounds) to remind you to recognize you are dreaming. Cues enter your dream, becoming incorporated just like an alarm or radio will sometimes work its way into a dream (new version still in production)
REM Dreamer
I have not tested this European device yet.

Just three days ago bought the REM dreamer and i can say that my first impressions are positive. Right from the first night (with basic settings, without sound cues/computer attachment) it helped to enter twice to a lucid dream state. For example, in a way like this: ‘driving a car in a dream, then i see red lights flashing everywhere (REM dreamer effect) and remember that this must be a dream – so, what to do next, since anything is basically possible? 1) now i can start ‘playing’ with these dream images in whatever way; or 2) now it is a good time to just rest and stay lucid without any interference of dream images – very pleasant!’ The machine seems to be a valuable tool – it does of course not create lucid dreams for you, but it surely helps you in noticing when is time to become lucid. The machine works well, has wide variety of settings for different dreamers and is inexpensive.
