LUCID SOUL DESCRIPTION SERIES
LaBerge became one of the early leaders in the scientific investigation of lucid dreaming.The Las-Vegas based indie games developer and indie games publisher Abyss Stares Creations, are today very proud and excited to announce that their pixel-art anime-themed turn-based fantasy JRPG “ Lucid Soul” ended-up getting over 200% funded on Kickstarter (“Lucid Soul” is in development for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch).: Philosophically, scientifically, it was simply mind blowing.” A couple years later, Stephen LaBerge, separately completed a similar experiment, and published it in 1980. The researcher, Keith Hearne, later said, “It was like getting signals from another world.

The first evidence for lucid dreaming was there on the REM readout! On the morning of April 12, 1975, Alan Worsley became lucid and moved his eyes left to right eight times in his lucid dream, while other measures showed that he remained in the sleep state. What if you brought a lucid dreamer into the sleep lab, put rapid eye movement (REM) pads on him to record eye movement, and told him to move his eyes left to right eight times when he became lucid? Since most REM patterns seem like random nonsense, a dreaming person who moves both eyes left to right eight times would definitely provide evidence for being ‘aware of dreaming’ and able to make conscious decisions while in the dream state. As a graduate student, Hearne wondered how you could provide scientific evidence for that claim – then he had a brilliant idea: In the mid 1970’s, he met a lucid dreamer, Alan Worsley, who claimed to become lucidly aware in his dream. Yes! Many people consider Keith Hearne in England, as the first researcher to provide scientific evidence for lucid dreaming. You can do a lot of amazing things in a lucid dream (if you know how). What do things feel like in a lucid dream? How does a banana taste in a lucid dream? You can compare the ‘dream world’ to the ‘waking world’. Then once you become lucid, you can make decisions about what you want to do (instead of just following the course of the dream). So in lucid dreams, they normally begin with a moment of critical awareness, where you realize that something seems “too dreamy”. How did I get to Paris?’ or ‘Wasn’t I driving a car?’ At that moment, you may accurately conclude, ‘I’m dreaming! This is a lucid dream.’ For example, you might be driving in Paris to your grandmother’s house, and suddenly think, ‘Wait a second, my grandmother lives in Miami. You lack critical awareness, and just follow the course of the dream.īut in a lucid dream, you normally have a moment where you notice, ‘Hey, this is too strange!’ and then become lucid. But since you are trying to get to grandmother’s house, you simply accept these changes as normal and natural. For example, let’s say you are driving a car in Paris, which then turns into a motorcycle, and a minute later, becomes a bicycle. Good question! Try to remember a recent dream.
