Start-up claims to have successfully achieved first chat between two dreaming humans: Could unlock new dimensions

Researchers for a California start-up claim they achieved the first-ever communication between two humans while dreaming, in what they dubbed a “historic milestone” that “could unlock new dimensions.”REMspace, a San Francisco Bay Area-based neurotech company focused on lucid dreaming and sleep enhancement, shared that they have now twice had “two individuals successfully induced lucid dreams and exchanged a simple message.”The company claimed the participants were sleeping at their homes on Sept.24 when their specially developed “apparatus” remotely tracked their polysomnographic data through WiFi — recording their brain waves, blood oxygen levels, heart rate, and breathing during sleep.After the company’s server detected that one of the candidates had entered a lucid dream state, it generated a random word and repeated it to him via earbuds.The company has not shared the word, which was allegedly only known to the participant and repeated in his dream state, but his response was then recorded and stored on their server.Eight minutes later, the second candidate entered a lucid dream, and the server transmitted the stored message to them, which they repeated upon waking up — marking the first-ever “chat” exchanged in dreams.“Researchers at REMspace have achieved a historic milestone, demonstrating that lucid dreams could unlock new dimensions of communication and humanity’s potential,” the company said about last month’s experiment.Lucid dreaming occurs when a person is aware that they are dreaming while asleep.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, it usually happens during REM sleep, when the most vivid dreams occur.Lucid dreaming allows a person to perform self-directed actions in their dreams rather than randomly interacting and reacting in their dreams without any sense of control.Following the success of the first experiment, REMspace CEO Michael Raduga claimed the company achieved communication with two other individuals again ...
