Comment on Lucid dream startup says engineers can write code in their sleep. Work may never be the same

  Well FWIW there are somewhat reproducible techniques, I’ve used them, but I couldn’t tell you how I’ve used them if my life depended on it. I actually got tired of lucid dreaming and started avoiding certain positions in bed, and started shifting around if I felt myself getting close to jumping into a lucid dream during hypnagogia.

  I also worked on university assignments during lucid dreams, solved countless bugs in my code while asleep, a friend can even attest to it since one time I instantly woke up to solve a specific bug and then went back to sleep, with him right next to me (all nighters woo hoo).

  It can be done. It really shouldn’t be done. The reason why I grew tired of lucid dreaming is because I didn’t feel like I was actually resting at all. That disconnect and peace that falling asleep gives you, it’s not there for me while lucid dreaming (at least not if I jumped in through hypnagogia).

    Yeah, unfortunately my weak brain instantly wakes up as soon as I realize I’m in a dream, the rare times it happens

      Focus on something up close in your dream, like the texture of a wall or table, it’ll pull you back into the dream. Works for me!

      The other suggestion is to spin around, but I did that to stay in a dream once and noclipped through the floor. Which woke me up.

        I was often sent flying with no way to come back down. Went up fast. Not great for anxiety.

  There’s a vague suggestion that maybe lucid dreams could be induced through techniques that are not properly understood yet, and that’s about it.

  Where can I invest?
