Short3 REMspace: First Two-Way Lucid Dream Communication

The sources describe a historic study conducted by REMspace, a neurotechnology startup in California, that successfully facilitated two-way communication between individuals during lucid dreaming for the first time. The groundbreaking experiment used specialized equipment to track participants' brainwaves and other sleep data remotely as they slept in their homes. Lucid dreaming occurs during the REM stage of sleep and is characterized by the dreamer's awareness that they are dreaming while still in the dream state.

The experiment involved two participants who were monitored until they entered a lucid dream state. The server generated a random word in "Remmyo," a dream-specific language developed by REMspace that uses sounds detectable by facial electromyography sensors. This word was sent to the first participant's earbuds, who then repeated the word within their dream. The response was captured and stored on a server. Eight minutes later, the second participant entered a lucid dream and received the stored message, confirming it upon waking.

Two other participants were also able to communicate with the server through their dreams, demonstrating the effectiveness of the technology. This milestone opens up possibilities for the future of dream-based communication, including real-time interactions. REMspace plans to refine the technology to enable real-time communication in lucid dreams within the next few months. The company believes that REM sleep and lucid dreaming have the potential to become a major industry, offering applications in various fields such as problem-solving and skill learning.
