In a new study, scientists were able to establish two-way communication between two people through lucid dreaming for the first time. Isn’t it similar to the movie ‘Inception’  where you communicate with a person through dreams?

The experiment was carried out by a California-based start-up REMspace which designed technology for lucid dreaming and enhancing sleep. With the help of this technology, scientists were able to exchange one message between two humans when they were asleep.

The experiment was done using a specially designed tool that contains a server, an apparatus, wifi, and sensors. Although they didn't reveal the exact instruments used to make this technology.

Lucid dreaming is a stage where a person is aware of what he is dreaming and is able to control his actions within that dream. This happens during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, a phase where most of the dreams take place.

During the process of lucid dreaming, scientists had one participant sleep in a separate location and one in another, meanwhile, the researchers created a word using a unique language and transmitted it to them. The first participant repeated the message within the dream, and it was recorded. Later, the second participant also entered a lucid dream, where he received a message from the first participant and repeated it upon waking.

The technology was developed by REMspace founder and CEO Michael Raduga, who is known for his breakthrough ideas including an attempt to implant a microchip in his brain to control his dreams. Raduga was for a long time been fascinated by lucid dreaming and his latest experiment goes beyond controlling and finding a way to communicate.

While speaking about the experiment Raduga said, "Yesterday, communicating in dreams seemed like science fiction. Tomorrow, it will be so common we won't be able to imagine our lives without this technology."

He further added, "This opens the door to countless commercial applications, reshaping how we think about communication and interaction in the dream world.”

Although the technology still needs to be reviewed or replicated. However, if this technology gets validated, it will become a major milestone for sleep research and can help with mental health treatment and skills training, said the REMspace.

Not revealing much about the equipment, Raduga said some specially designed equipment was used in the technology to exchange a simple message between two individuals in their lucid dreaming stage. 

Raduga emphasized the various uses of this communication technology, including mental health treatments where individuals can confront or process emotions in a controlled dream state. It could also be utilized for skills training, allowing people to practice tasks in their dreams with the same level of engagement as in real-life training

 REMspace’s findings have generated curiosity among people, however the experiment still needs thorough scientific review. Nonetheless, Raduga is optimistic about the technology's future, predicting that lucid dreaming could become the next big industry after artificial intelligence (AI). If successful, this could lead to new industries and expand possibilities in sleep science and communication.
