Communicating with Dreams: Bridging the Gap between Science Fiction and Dreaming Brain
A new study has shown that it is possible to communicate with people in their dreams, blurring the line between science fiction and our understanding of the dreaming brain. Researchers have discovered that during REM sleep, some individuals experience lucid dreaming, where they are aware they are dreaming and can even control the dream. By combining brain activity monitors with call and response cues, scientists were able to interact with dreamers and predict the moments when communication was most likely to occur. This research opens up possibilities for further understanding dreams and developing more sophisticated methods of communication with sleepers.
