Humans have been able to communicate in dreams.
In an experiment conducted by neurotechnology developer REMspace, two volunteers successfully communicated in their dreams.
Two volunteers had a lucid dream and exchanged simple messages using a special device. Lucid dreaming, a state of awareness that one is dreaming, occurs during rapid eye movement (REM ) sleep and has many potential applications – from solving physiological problems to learning new skills.
The above success is the result of nearly 5 years of rigorous research and technology development.
REMspace aims to make REM sleep the next revolutionary breakthrough after artificial intelligence (AI). The company claims that REM sleep – which is not bound by the physical rules and limitations of reality – allows people to freely see, hear, touch, smell, taste, experience pleasure and pain, and even change their bodies or genders.
Experiment on communication in dreams
In the experiment on September 24, volunteers slept in their own homes. Their brain waves and sleep data were monitored remotely by special equipment. When the server detected that the first volunteer entered a lucid dream, it generated a random Remmyo word (sleep language) and sent it through the headset. The volunteer repeated the word in his dream, and the server recorded the response.
Eight minutes later, the second volunteer entered a lucid dream and received the previous person's stored message – marking the experiment a success.
The success is the result of nearly 5 years of rigorous research and technology development. After the first experiment, REMspace is working hard to improve to achieve better results in the future.
'While the concept of "dream communication" may have seemed like science fiction in the past, it will become so commonplace that we can't imagine life without it,' says REMspace founder and CEO Michael Raduga, who plans to launch the LucidMe PRO next year, a device that tracks EEG, Oculoencephalography, EMG, and sleep stages.
