Sci-fi meets reality as two people exchange messages in their sleep for first time

Researchers at California-based startup REMspace have achieved a groundbreaking milestone by enabling two individuals to communicate while in lucid dreams, a phenomenon where a person becomes aware they are dreaming.

Using specialized equipment and a language called "Remmyo," the participants successfully exchanged messages during sleep.

This breakthrough, marked by years of research, opens new possibilities for dream communication and has far-reaching implications for both commercial and scientific fields.

The experiment, conducted on September 24, saw two volunteers in separate locations enter lucid dreams while their brain activity was monitored remotely.

The first participant received a random word via earbuds, repeated it in the dream, and the message was captured. Eight minutes later, the second participant entered a lucid dream, received the message, and confirmed it upon waking.

This marked the first “chat” ever exchanged through lucid dreams.

Michael Raduga, CEO and founder of REMspace, emphasized the significance of this development: “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.”

Raduga envisions a future where real-time communication in lucid dreams becomes the next major industry, rivaling artificial intelligence in scope and application.

"We believe that REM sleep and lucid dreams will reshape how we think about communication and interaction," he added.
