The mysterious world of lucid dreaming has become a little clearer after scientists achieved two-way communication between a pair of people.

It sounds like something out of sci-fi Inception, where people can steal from one another by entering other’s lucid dreams, but firm REMspace, which focuses on helping to improve both lucid dreaming and sleep, is striving to make it a reality.

As has been reported across multiple outlets, the company claims to have used a combination of specially made apparatus, including Wi-Fi, sensors and servers to deliver the breakthrough.

However, they have not revealed the exact technology used to do so. Meanwhile, the technology has not been reviewed or replicated by other scientists – it is therefore still awaiting validation.

According to multiple news outlets, the two participants were in separate homes when researchers beamed a word that had been made through a unique language.

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.”

In a post on Instagram on October 9, Raduga said: “REMspace achieved the first-ever communication in dreams. We have already succeeded twice (on September 24th and October 8th, 2024). More details soon”.
