Oct 15 2024, 7 pm ISTeznews.inIn a groundbreaking experiment, scientists at California-based company REMspace have achieved two-way communication between individuals during lucid dreaming, a state where dreamers can control their dreams. Conducted on September 24, the experiment involved experienced lucid dreamers connected to specialized equipment that monitored their brain activity. As one participant entered a lucid dream, the system detected the change and transmitted a word from a unique language, "Remmyo," via earbuds. The word "Zhilak" was heard and repeated by the dreamer, with sensors capturing the response. The second participant, also in a lucid state, received the same word and confirmed its accuracy upon waking. This innovative technology could have far-reaching implications for mental health treatment and skill development, although further validation by independent researchers is necessary. REMspace CEO Michael Raduga expressed optimism about the potential for this technology to revolutionize communication in the dream world.
