High brain activity and micro-awakenings explain why some people remember dreams better
High brain activity in the temporo-parietal junction causes micro-awakenings that let some people remember dreams, while deep sleepers forget them.

Two people exchange a message while dreaming for the first time, startup claims
REMspace claims two lucid dreamers exchanged a message while asleep for the first time. Learn how the experiment worked and why scientists remain skeptical.
Startup says two people sent a word to each other while dreaming
A California startup reports that two lucid dreamers exchanged a simple message while asleep. According to the announcement, sensors confirmed rapid eye movement sleep, the first sleeper received a random word through earbuds, repeated it inside the dream using a…
Dreams as a key to brain function and health
The significance of dreams in brain activity and health Rahul Jandial’s insights reveal that dreams serve as a cognitive tool, with the brain highly active during sleep. Nightmares and erotic dreams are universal, and the brain’s emotional and visual centers…
AI advances toward decoding human dreams
Advancements in artificial intelligence are bringing scientists closer to decoding human dreams. AI algorithms can now analyze brain activity during sleep, potentially identifying the content of dreams by interpreting neural patterns. This technology may eventually allow for the reconstruction of…
Hypnagogic imagery: flashing-light devices guide the brain into dream-like states without drugs
The idea is simple: when a rhythmic burst of white light reaches your closed eyes, the neurons in your visual cortex begin to fire in step with that rhythm. This “brain-wave entrainment” can nudge waking beta activity toward the slower…
Device coming in 2025 to induce lucid dreams
A forthcoming device called Halo, expected to launch in 2025, is designed to help users achieve lucid dreams. By stimulating the brain during sleep, the device aims to enable users to control their dreams, offering potential therapeutic and recreational benefits.…
Japanese teams show MRI can decode simple dream content
For years, headlines said that Japanese scientists built an MRI dream machine. The research is real, but the claim is not. Two lines of work from Japan explain what is possible today. First, in 2013, a team in Kyoto used…
