Established sleep researchers say lucid dreaming is occasionally of topics, although it is difficult to validate scientifically. “Yes, lucid dreaming exists,” said Dr. Rodney Radtke, the medical director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Duke University. “Yes, people can, in her dream realized” This is only a dream “and to participate.”

“Do I believe that someone, or possibly with their dreams in a way that they could dream of? Yes,” he said. “Do I believe that you essentially design a dream - ‘Oh, I want to go to Honolulu and have this big piece hit me?” It is a bit of stretch. But I can not say it can not happen. ”

He added: “Only in New York or California, they worry about these things.”

Stephen LaBerge, a psychophysiologist and the founder of the Lucidity Institute (lucidity.com) leads lucid dream research and teaches people to do it.

“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible,” Dr. LaBerge said. “Fly. Dream Sex. That’s what everyone likes to do. There is also the possibility of creative problem solving, nightmares and fears to overcome, learning more about themselves.”

A student at Stanford University, where Dr. LaBerge, a large part of his research, wrote in the Stanford Daily: “In one of my earliest experiences with clarity, I announced an auditorium full of people that I am their God (which I not?). If they do not respond deferentially, I telekinesis to one of them flying through the room. ”

It is particularly attractive for those who have nightmares, because it enables them to realize while still asleep, that they can only dream of.

The interest in these potential advantages of the real world and the otherworldly freedoms of lucid dreaming - as well as the questions it provokes about the precarious nature of reality - has led to the invention and evolution of seemingly wacky dream aid. There are masks with lights and sounds; Orwellian devices that announce This is a dream! in the middle of the night, and pills.

At the Hawaii gathering next month, the participants will be able to verify that Dr. LaBerge of NovaDreamer, a mask is illuminated during the REM sleep and cue the person who is in the leaves that he or she is dreaming. It is based on the idea that a plan while awake and guide them in their dreams. A light or sound is to remind them of their goal of lucid dreaming without monitor. Participants may also participate in experiments with an herbal version of a drug, the effects of acetylcholine, a compound that affects memory neurotransmitting.
