How Can You Get an Answer to a Question in a Lucid Dream?

American researchers Robert Waggoner and Nigel Hamilton conducted a pilot experiment to explore the possibility of getting an answer to any question in a lucid dream, depending on whether the dream responds to the lucid dreamer’s thoughts. This is not a new practice: lucid dreamers have repeatedly noticed that they receive answers to questions in the phase state: for example, a voice appears or the entire space changes in a way that answers their questions.

In Waggoner and Hamilton’s pilot study, a set of questions was given to each participant. They were supposed to ask these questions in a lucid dream – not to any character but simply to the void. The results showed that when trying to complete the task, a person automatically turns inward, to the subconscious, to the depths of their own psyche, and eventually receives information in a symbolic form.

Interestingly, compared to novice practitioners, experienced lucid dreamers acted more spontaneously in the dream, reacted to all changes in the space, and exhibited worse control over the plot. According to the authors, this was unexpected and contrary to common sense.

Have you received valuable information from a lucid dream?

Using Creativity to Enter a Lucid Dream

Lucid dreams allow you to engage in creative endeavors. But did you know that creativity can also lead to lucid dreaming? Sarah Jane Palmer, a researcher, artist, and lucid dreamer from the UK, believes that the creative process can be structured in a way that allows you to become aware of your dreams.

Many artists, including Füssli, Picasso, and Dali, painted their dreams, bringing images from the subconscious into reality. Palmer is sure that this practice also provides a key to triggering awareness while dreaming. This practice can be useful even for people who consider themselves uncreative.

The artist herself not only actively practices lucid dreaming but also creates works of art in her dreams while also working through her fears. Referring to other researchers, she adds that lucid dreamers have a slightly higher-than-average level of creativity, which can influence the success of practicing lucid dreaming.

Will you try this method to become lucid?

How Can You Become an Artist Through Lucid Dreams?

Dave Green is an artist from the UK. But instead of a regular studio (or in addition to it), he uses lucid dreams, and instead of live models, he uses dream characters. During his childhood, lucid dreams provided salvation from his nightmares; later, they became a tool for creativity.

Dave creates drawings directly in his dreams. Then, first thing in the morning, he takes paper and pen to copy them in reality. Sometimes the characters in his dreams draw. He observes their creative self-expression and then he asks himself whether the characters have their own inner lives and artistic abilities.

The artist also actively collaborates with researchers. In one experiment, scientists tasked him with seeing a photo in a lucid dream, which they sent in reality the next morning. Green is also interested in shamanic practices and the possibilities of healing through lucid dreaming.

Have you used lucid dreams for creativity?

Out-of-Body Experience and Sleep Paralysis After Surgery

Doctors from New Zealand, led by Banerji Antara, published a case study of a 78-year-old woman who underwent surgery. After the procedure, she opened her eyes, coughed, moved her arms, and was transferred to the intensive care unit. Her heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels remained stable, but she did not respond to verbal cues. Her pupils reacted to light, but her gaze was vacant.

Later, she said she had had an out-of-body experience, though she referred to it as a dream: "I remember dreaming I was in a white or bright room, and I was floating in the room and looking down on my body. I thought I was going to die. I was not frightened, and the dream was not unpleasant."

The EEG data indicated a state of sleep. However, the woman remembered all the events of her dream after the surgery, even though she was unconscious. According to the doctors, sleep paralysis or a similar mechanism is the best explanation for what happened.

Do you know of any similar stories?

Can Prayer Help with Sleep Paralysis?

Betul Rauf, a researcher from the UK, conducted a series of surveys on sleep paralysis as part of his doctoral dissertation. Half of nearly 7000 participants were familiar with this phenomenon. The author compared sleep paralysis with other states we call phase states: lucid dreaming and out-of-body and near-death experiences. Alien abductions were also mentioned.

People who constantly suffer from sleep paralysis have developed a set of rules for preventing this phenomenon:
– Don't sleep on your back.
– Establish a sleep routine (avoid sleep deprivation, exhaustion, and sleeping during the day).
– Make your sleeping space comfortable (turn on the light, open the door, avoid heat).
– Control alcohol and medication intake (some people avoid alcohol, while others use it to combat sleep paralysis).

If a person is already paralyzed and experiencing hallucinations, they are recommended to force himself or herself to move, shout, or wake up through force of will. Other options include rationalization (explaining to yourself that you are asleep) and breathing exercises.

The author paid special attention to religion. Historically, sleep paralysis has been linked to mysticism, but atheists and agnostics have reported sleep paralysis more often than believers. Although it is logical that non-religious people have tended to attribute it to "something in the brain," believers consider it to be a supernatural phenomenon. Very few use prayer to end an episode, even though it helps in 87% of cases for those who do.

Have you ever considered a phase state to be a supernatural experience?

Half of the Participants in an Experiment Had a Lucid Dream

Scientists from five countries, led by Mahdad Jafarzadeh Esfahani, conducted an experiment with the ambitious goal of developing an effective and verifiable method for entering lucid dreaming. The team's work involved the participation of Michelle Carr and Martin Dresler, who are seasoned researchers in this field.

The authors recruited 60 individuals who were familiar with the phenomenon of lucid dreaming to varying degrees. These individuals were guided through a rather complex algorithm involving a number of techniques used by lucid dreamers: dream journaling, cognitive training, sensory stimuli (affecting all senses), and awakenings.

Participants confirmed their lucidity in the lab using the classic method of eye signals. Ultimately, 65% of the volunteers in the Netherlands and 45% in Italy had lucid dreams, as confirmed on record using special devices. As predicted, the effectiveness rate was 100% for those who had already practiced lucid dreaming constantly before the experiment. Moreover, it was around 70% for those who occasionally practiced lucid dreaming and 20-30% for newcomers.

How many lucid dreaming techniques have you tried?

July 1 – Michael Raduga’s Birthday

Michael Raduga is a leading researcher of phase states, the author of 17 books, the CEO and founder of REMspace, and an expert on the TV show Inexplicable, yet Fact. He is also the creator of the term “phase” itself, which is used to describe various phenomena that occur when the brain switches to a state of awareness in the REM sleep phase. Specifically, the term “phase” includes lucid dreams, false awakenings, and sleep paralysis, as well as out-of-body and near-death experiences. Raduga’s work has been translated into 25 languages.

Michael was born on July 1, 1983, in Novosibirsk’s Akademgorodok (Russia, Siberian scientific center), and had his first out-of-body experience at school. By the age of 20, he had found a way to enter the phase almost every day. His “indirect method” was officially presented to the scientific community in 2021. In 2024, he moved to Silicon Valley, where he continues to work as the CEO of REMspace.

Over the past year, Michael has been the top researcher in terms of the number of scientific papers published on the topic of lucid dreaming. Practitioners may particularly benefit from his research on techniques that help people enter the phase and make it more realistic. He also determined the threshold of satisfaction with the vividness of sensations in lucid dreams and explained whether men or women find the practice easier.

Michael’s experiments that allow a connection to be established between the real world and the phase are ongoing. In such experiments, groups of experienced lucid dreamers controlled a smart home and a virtual car and transmitted and reproduced music while in a lucid dream. A new method has been developed that allows the use of only one sensor in the laboratory, accelerating the development of science.

What new research direction would you suggest?

Can a Near-Death Experience Rarely Change a Person?

Scientists from Belgium, led by Charlotte Martial, conducted a year-long study of survivors of resuscitation. They interviewed 126 people immediately after recovery and one year after discharge. All patients had been in intensive care, but only 19 of them (15%) reported near-death experiences.

These 19 participants most often described having an altered perception of time, heightened senses, seeing important life events flash before their eyes, experiencing accelerated thoughts, and encountering mystical beings. However, out-of-body experiences or feelings of peace were uncommon. Moreover, the authors acknowledge that the sample size is too small to draw concrete conclusions.

A year later, almost nothing had changed. Most of the participants were convinced that the experience was real (i.e., that it wasn’t just a dream or hallucination). However, these experiences rarely affected participants’ lives, with the possible exception that love became more significant for many. Interestingly, 89 patients (71%) scored 1 to 6 on the Greyson scale, indicating that their experiences were not rich enough to be considered near-death experiences, though they included some features of such experiences.

What do you think: are the stories of survivors real, or are they dreams/hallucinations?

Aliens Studied a Paralyzed Goldie Hawn

Goldie Hawn, the renowned American actress, needs no introduction. She's the star of films like Overboard and Death Becomes Her, and she won an Academy Award winner for her role in Cactus Flower. But did you know she saw aliens in her youth?

MSN recently featured Goldie's story on the show Time to Walk. She was about 20 years old and sleeping in her car near the desert in West California. Back then, rumors of UFOs in that area were abundant. Suddenly, a piercing sound filled her ears. She saw "two or three triangular-shaped heads" outside. She described the beings as "silver in color" with minimal facial features (a "slash for a mouth" and "tiny little noses").

The aliens were pointing at her and appeared to be discussing her. Goldie was terrified and paralyzed. She managed to break the paralysis only when the beings approached and touched her face. As the actress recalls, the touch was filled with benevolence, love, and light. It was incredibly positive and powerful.

Goldie concluded that the mysteries of the world are endless, and one must maintain a spirit of adventure and openness to the new. We'd like to remind you that in one REMspace experiment, lucid dreamers intentionally initiated encounters with aliens in lucid dreams, and Goldie Hawn's story perfectly fits the descriptions of sleep paralysis, another phase state.

What's the most unusual adventure you've had in the phase state?

How Can Out-of-Body Experiences Be Confirmed in Laboratory Conditions?

Researchers from the United States (Marina Weiler and David Acunzo) and Brazil (Raphael Casseb) took on an ambitious task: to confirm the phenomenon of leaving the body in laboratory conditions. To do this, the authors built on research developments on another phase state – lucid dreams. Since the 1970s, eye signals have remained the gold standard for confirming lucidity in a dream.

The scientists recruited three volunteers who claimed to have long out-of-body experiences. However, none of them had previously intentionally tried to have such experiences in the laboratory. They noted that they were distracted by noise, light, and even the abundance of objects in the room. As a result, only one of the participants succeeded, demonstrating eye movements recorded by instruments to indicate she had left her body.

The techniques used by the participants generally included:
– muscle relaxation
– induced body vibrations
– manipulated breathing (some breathed slowly and deeply, and some held their breath)
The woman who succeeded added visualization, imagining her exit from her body and a specific destination point.

The authors note that this was a pilot study. Of course, the sample size should be larger in later studies. But the question arises: How does this differ from the usual testing of lucid dreamers (apart from the fact that the dream plot was an out-of-body experience)?

For you, are lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences the same state or different states?

Lucid Dreaming in Haruki Murakami’s “Sputnik Sweetheart”

Haruki Murakami's novel Sputnik Sweetheart is often described as a story of loneliness and love with elements of mysticism and detective mysteries. Indian researcher Mannat Jagia presents a new perspective on the book through the lens of lucid dreaming.

One of the main characters, Sumire, changes her appearance and lifestyle and quits smoking through lucid dreaming and under the influence of Miu. The young woman uses a popular method to improve this practice – she keeps a dream journal. And K, who loves her, lives in his own illusory world, making love to Sumire in his lucid dreams.

The cultural backgrounds of the characters influence their perceptions of lucid dreaming. Sumire's dreams are infused with elements of Japanese culture. In her dreams, she often wanders through traditional Japanese gardens with winding paths and blooming cherry blossoms. The book is full of symbolism. For example, K often dreams of cats – a symbol of mystery, intuition, and the supernatural in Japanese folklore. The researcher notes that cats give a multi-layered meaning to the theme of lucid dreaming, blurring the line between dreams and reality.

What do you think of this view of Murakami's novel?

‘In My Time of Dying’: Near-Death Experiences Change Lives

Sebastian Junger, author of the bestsellers Tribe and The Perfect Storm, has released a new book, In My Time of Dying. As a war correspondent who has visited numerous hot spots, he experienced a near-death experience while at home. Due to a ruptured aneurysm, he found himself in darkness, where he encountered his deceased father. His father invited Junger to join him. “It’s okay,” his father said. “There’s nothing to be scared of. I’ll take care of you.” Junger woke up in the hospital, and, as reported in the Toledo City Paper, the convinced atheist immersed himself in self-analysis and reflection on life after death.

Of note, several recent news stories have focused on near-death experiences. For example, the Mirror describes two stories at once. A man in a state of clinical death entered a bright light and found himself in his childhood home, where he saw his deceased grandmother. Like Junger, he reconsidered his life after this event. He remained an atheist but realized he had been a mean person and now tries to help people.

Another protagonist found herself in "nothing": a place with no sound, no wind, no light, no weight. It was not cold, hot, or painful. And then there was a flash of light, the feeling of falling, and a view of her own body from the outside before she woke up in intensive care.

Near-death experiences are considered one of the phase states, along with lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, and so on. In one experiment conducted at REMspace, lucid dreamers intentionally initiated the classic near-death experience scenario of flying through a tunnel towards a light. Survivors of near-death experiences often describe similar stories simply because they have heard many such stories and subconsciously expect this particular development.

If you’ve had one, can you share your near-death experience?

Robert Bruce, Author of Astral Dynamics, Has Died

Robert Bruce, author of one of the most famous books on astral travel, died on April 22, 2024. He was born in the United Kingdom but later moved to Australia. Bruce is known for his research on out-of-body experiences, which he started in the 1990s. His book Astral Dynamics, published in 2009, was a bestseller and gathered a huge number of followers.

Undoubtedly, the book attracts astral travel enthusiasts with its abundance of practical exercises. Most of them overlap with classical yoga and boil down to imagination: working with energy, chakras, thought control, breathing, relaxation, concentration, and so on. One of the instructions for astral projection is to relax and vividly imagine yourself in another part of the room while engaging all your senses.

Bruce also mentions other states, which we call phase states; these include near-death experiences, sleep paralysis, and false awakenings (Bruce refers to short out-of-body experiences, during which a person believes they are awake even though they are actually projecting). He also pays significant attention to lucid dreaming and suggests using lucid dreams to get some out-of-body experience and maintain interest until entering the actual astral realm.

The author considers reality checks – that is, constantly asking yourself whether you are dreaming – to be the best technique for lucid dreaming. But it is important to make it a habit. To this end, Bruce suggests programming yourself to do a reality check every time you drink something. Incidentally, he believed that body position affects the ability to become lucid – for example, he became lucid while lying curled up on his side. But this may differ among people.

Have you tried any exercises from Astral Dynamics?

Our condolences to Robert Bruce's family and followers. His books are available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B001JRTMHK/

Sports Training Simulation in Lucid Dreaming

Daniel Erlacher, a prominent researcher in lucid dreaming from Switzerland, has published the book Sport and Sleep where he discusses the importance of sleep for athletes. The author notes that sports is an interdisciplinary field studied by doctors, biologists, and psychologists. Among other things, the scientist devotes several pages to lucid dreaming, stating that they can be controlled to, for example, change the plot of a nightmare or practice physical skills.

Performing movements mentally is a form of cognitive training and simulation. Athletes can systematically repeat the actions they need to learn (e.g., wrestling techniques, dance steps, and jumps) with the dream body. As they practice the sequence of movements while dreaming, the accuracy of their ex*****on increases at the cognitive level.

Although this differs from traditional training, various experiments and surveys show that such methods improve athletic performance in reality. As the author adds, though movements in a dream are a simulation, the results are very promising.

Have you ever improved your physical performance through lucid dreaming?

The book was published in June 2024 and is available on the publisher's website: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-662-68754-3

June 3 – Allan Hobson’s Birthday

Allan Hobson was an American psychiatrist who challenged Freud's psychoanalysis. As Hobson said in an interview, "Psychoanalysis has become the bible, and I think that’s crazy." He argued that dreams are not mysterious codes sent by the subconscious but rather the brain's attempt to make sense of random neuronal firings—a byproduct of chemical reactions.

Hobson was a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and director of the Laboratory of Neurophysiology at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center. He left a legacy of over 20 books and many articles. Aside from science, he was passionate about his farm. An article in The New York Times about the scientist’s death in 2021 describes a barn on the farm property that Hobson turned into a small interactive sleep museum and classroom for local students.

Hobson was also involved in lucid dreaming. However, he, along with Ursula Voss, recorded increased activity in the frontal zones at 40 Hz power during lucid dreams and concluded that lucid dreaming is a hybrid state between sleep and wakefulness. In 2022, this hypothesis was refuted by American scientists with the participation of the legendary Stephen LaBerge.

At the same time, Hobson believed that lucid dreams would revolutionize psychology. He also believed that self-suggestion before sleep could help people activate certain areas of the brain and maintain lucidity.

Does Sleep Paralysis Change Brain Structure?

Czech scientists led by Eva Miletínová conducted a pilot study to explore how sleep paralysis affects brain structure. The authors recruited ten volunteers who regularly experienced sleep paralysis, plus a control group of ten participants who were unfamiliar with the phenomenon. They underwent polysomnography and MRI scans of the brain.

The researchers measured activity in the cerebellum, pons, and thalamus. The MRI results showed a significant increase in the height of the cerebellar vermis and the antero-posterior diameter of the midbrain-pons junction in people who experienced sleep paralysis compared to "healthy" controls. The authors suggested that this is the body’s way of compensating for the negative impact of sleep paralysis.

However, no differences were found in sleep structure or signs of other sleep disorders. But the scientists called their study a pilot study, acknowledging that measurements need to be taken to consider the frequency of sleep paralysis and the number of such episodes.

Would you consider treatment for sleep paralysis if it changed your brain?

How Do You Tell the Difference Between Out-of-Body Experiences and Lucid Dreams?

Researchers from the US (Marina Weiler and Martin Monti) and Brazil (Alexander Moreira-Almeida) posed the question: Are out-of-body experiences and lucid dreams the same phenomenon or different? The authors link both to other states we call phase states: near-death experiences, false awakenings, and sleep paralysis. They did not conduct experiments or surveys, but they did analyze existing attempts to distinguish these phenomena. For example, they proposed the following hypotheses:

1. Vibrations, buzzing sounds, and a sense of electricity precede an out-of-body experience.
2. A person exits in their body while awake, whereas a lucid dream is a dream.
3. Awareness is heightened during an out-of-body experience.
4. The level of control and the ability to change space are heightened in a lucid dream.
5. In an out-of-body experience, the world is more realistic and stable.
6. During out-of-body experiences, people are more likely to gain superpowers, receive information, or communicate with the dead.
7. Time during an out-of-body experience is perceived normally and in a linear order. In a lucid dream, things are more chaotic.
8. Leaving the body often changes people: it is a turning point that divides life into "before and after."
9. During an out-of-body experience, a person sees their body from the outside, while a lucid dream involves the image of the body, which the lucid dreamer is inside.

However, the authors reject all of these hypotheses, noting that none of these criteria clearly distinguish out-of-body experiences from lucid dreams. These rules are formulated from individual examples, but there are also other stories.

So, how can you differentiate an out-of-body experience from a lucid dream? Researchers believe the only way is based on the subjective feeling of the absence of the body. But it's not essential that a person sees their own body from the outside; what’s important is that they feel disembodied.

What do you think the difference is between an out-of-body experience and a lucid dream?

May 28 – Andrey Shashkov’s Birthday

Andrey Shashkov is an active lucid dreaming researcher at REMspace. He has been a researcher on the Project Elijah since 2019. He holds a degree in chemistry, and his scientific mindset, rooted in the natural sciences, greatly assists him in studying how the brain works. He has analyzed thousands of lucid dreams, and this knowledge gives him a nearly 100% success rate in his own practice.

He first entered the phase state at sixteen, though there were likely earlier episodes that were simply less complete and memorable. However, Andrey didn't give much thought to this instance because he considered the possibility of conscious awareness in dreams as a natural occurrence. His interest was ignited when he woke up in the middle of the night, found himself unable to move, and then rose in a space that perfectly mirrored reality. At that moment, he thought his soul had left his body and entered the real world.

Over the past year, the researcher has participated in all of REMspace's revolutionary experiments and is now among the top three researchers in terms of the number of scientific publications on lucid dreaming. His main research interest is acquiring information from the phase state and aligning the subconscious to achieve goals in reality. He was part of the team that conducted experiments on controlling a virtual machine and smart home from a lucid dream, controlling dreams with a brain implant, and registering lucid dreams using a single sensor.

Another of his scientific interests is observing the results of practitioners and seeking evidence of the simplest aspects of the phase state. Along with his colleagues, Andrey compared popular techniques that help people enter lucid dreams and make them more realistic. He also studied the significance of sensations within the phase state, conducted an experiment on lowering body temperature from a lucid dream, and explored whether men or women find lucidity easier to attain.
