Researchers achieve first successful communication between dreaming individuals
Researchers achieve first successful communication between dreaming individuals
The experiment involved participants utilizing specialized equipment including sensors and earbuds. On September 24, one participant sleeping at home induced lucid dreaming, a state in which you are aware that you are dreaming. It is apparently a trainable skill, although I have only ever personally experienced it a handful of times throughout my life.
Researchers at a California-based sleep startup claim it's possible to communicate with others while dreaming.
Is there some published article in a respected peer reviewed scientific journal?
If not, this may as well be the typical startup "fake it until you make it (or disappear)".the lucid dreaming communication experiment itself is decades old now, people in lucid dreams have communicated to conscious scientists by moving their eyes in patterns to communicate with sleep scientists talking to the dreamer or playing sounds for them while in a lucid dream state to indicate the dreamers' awareness and understanding of stimulus from the waking world.
The "first" they're talking about is an extension of that phenomen, which is cool in its own right.
heres a recent article about similar sleep studies:

"I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty."
If it is really possible to reliably train oneself to lucid dream, that's probably as far as it should go... Beyond there lies madness
Literally
"Timecards... Timecards... Remember to fill out your timecards"
What do you think the business founder has in mind when they say this is revolutionary? Like what regular use could this be put to?
Maybe more working hours for office workers. Everyone can do another 8 hours of lucid night shift.

We need a remake of dreamscape now
Such an underrated movie
You mean Nightmare on Elm Street
Ideal: "Oh wow! I could hang out with friends in my dreams! Conversations on the moon!!"
Reality: "Youâre late"
Bonus: "We don't have to pay them anything because they're not physically at work!"
If this becomes reality we'll be learning lucid dreaming to avoid dream ads.
As if privacy wasn't already hard enough.
Pretty cool article. Thanks for sharing.
Visualize your dream
Record it in the present tense
Put it into a permanent form
If you persist in your efforts
You can achieve dream controlIt also helps to start doing reality checks while awake such that they become habitual enough to occur while dreaming. You want to specifically check things that tend to be vulnerable to dream logic like clocks or books because they'll often change if you look away and check / read them a second time.
Very true. However, my comment was from a song called Silent Lucidity.
Gorgeous song if youâve never heard it. Itâs all about lucid dreaming.
Literally Hypnospace Outlaw.
Edit: Dreamsettler can't come soon enough.
