In an experiment that sounds like a scene out of the movie ‘Inception,’ REMspace – a California-based startup that designs technology to enhance sleep and lucid dreaming – reportedly exchanged a message between two people who were asleep.
The company used ‘specially designed equipment’ which included a ‘server,’ an ‘apparatus,’ ‘Wifi’ and ‘sensors,’ but did not specify the exact technology they used.
The study participants were asleep in separate homes when REMspace researchers beamed a word created through a unique language between them.
REMspace CEO and founder Michael 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.
‘This opens the door to countless commercial applications, reshaping how we think about communication and interaction in the dream world.’
The technology has yet to be reviewed or replicated by scientists. But if validated, it would be a major milestone for sleep research and could provide applications for mental health treatment, skills training and more, REMspace said.
REMspace used ‘specially designed equipment’ to allow two individuals to successfully exchange a simple message while lucid dreaming, the company claimed.
Lucid dreaming is when a person is aware they are dreaming while still in the dream state.
