I used the Zeo sleep tracking headband, Lucid Dreaming App, Pebble Notification Center, Pebble smartwatch, and Tasker to create a vibrating REM reminder on my wrist. The Zeo headband and Lucid Dreaming App monitor your sleep states. When you enter REM sleep, the Lucid Dreaming App can play an audio file to alert you that you're dreaming. We can use Tasker to do more with this.

As I was making the video I noticed that the updated Pebble Notification Center app changed their Tasker Plugin. I originally enabled the 'Vibrate Periodically' setting which made the Pebble vibrate while the REM notification was active. This setting has been removed and the new Periodic Vibration setting no longer has a Tasker plugin. I emailed the dev so hopefully they re-add it sometime soon. In the meantime, the easiest solution would be to create a notification, wait, clear it, create another one, wait, clear it, repeat.

The Tasker Profile is simply
File Opened: (Whatever sound you play)
Run Pebble REM Reminder Tasker

The REM Reminder Tasker is more complex:
1. Notification Center Plugin - Disable 'Enable Quiet Time'
-I have my quiet time set so that when I sleep, my watch doesn't vibrate. Tasker temporarily turns this off
2. Vibrate - 600ms
-The phone vibrates
3. Notify - Title: REM Event at %TIME
-Creates a notification which will then be forwarded to the Pebble.
4. Variable Set: Name %RTime to %TIME
-Sets the REM Time variable to %TIME to know when we had REM events. This lets us cancel the notification later.
5. Wait - 7 seconds
6. Variable Add - Name %Remcount Value 1
-Tracks how many REM states we had.
7. Wait 1 minute
8. Notify Cancel: Title REM Event at %RTime
You'll want to create additional notifications here until the periodic vibration Tasker plugin is added.
9. Notification Center Plugin: Enable "Enable Quiet Time"
