 "Researchers claim they helped 2 people communicate in their dreams using brain waves")
In a breakthrough experiment that would bring Christopher Nolan’s Inception one step closer to reality, a California-based startup named REMspace claims to have successfully allowed two people to communicate with each other while they were in a lucid dream.
This extraordinary experiment could be the beginning of a new era in sleep research, though it has not yet undergone scientific validation.
The concept revolves around lucid dreaming, a state where a person becomes aware that they are dreaming and can control their actions within the dream. This occurs during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the phase where most dreams take place.
The ability to navigate dreams consciously has been an intriguing subject for years, but REMspace’s experiment takes it a step further by introducing what they call dream-to-dream communication.
The experiment involved two participants who were put into a stage of lucid dreams, induced using a specially designed setup created by REMspace. While the company has remained tight-lipped about the exact equipment used, it involved monitoring brain waves and other biological data through sensors and a ‘server’ that could detect when participants entered the lucid dream state.
Once a participant was in a lucid dream, the server transmitted a simple message to them via earbuds. The researchers claimed that they message was recorded in specially crafted language. The participant repeated the message within the dream, which was recorded and stored.

This seemingly sci-fi process was successfully repeated with another pair of participants, marking what REMspace hopes will be a significant milestone in the field.
The technology behind this experiment was developed by Michael Raduga, the founder and CEO of REMspace. Known for his unconventional ideas, including an attempt to implant a microchip in his brain to control his dreams, Raduga has long been fascinated by the potential of lucid dreaming. His latest experiment, however, goes beyond personal experimentation and taps into a broader vision for how dreams could be harnessed for various purposes.
Raduga believes that this dream communication technology could have wide-ranging applications. It could be used in mental health treatments, where individuals might be able to confront or process emotions in a controlled dream state. It could also be utilised in skills training, helping people practise tasks in their dreams with the same level of engagement as real-life training.
While REMspace’s findings have sparked curiosity, the experiment has yet to undergo rigorous scientific review. Despite this, Raduga is confident in the future of the technology, boldly predicting that lucid dreaming could be the next big industry after artificial intelligence (AI). If proven successful, this could open doors to new industries, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in both sleep science and communication.
For now, the dream of communicating through brain waves remains tantalisingly close.
