No thanks. I like sleeping while I'm sleeping. You introduce controlled lucid dreaming and soon enough I'll have a second job at dream McDonalds to pay for my dream space underwear.

I read that as "second dream job at McDonalds" and I was like damn... there goes the phrase dream job.
Countdown to ads in your dreams... Is there a Futurama episode that has that?
“They come here every day to sleep?” “No, they come to be woken up.”
2025? They are fishing for funding or talent I bet.
Hmmm, yes .. "Scientists are researching a device" aka "this device does not exist nor does the technology required to build it"
thats what research implies, yes
You could also say that scientists are currently working on general purpose AI, cold fusion, nanobots, space elevator, warp drive, teleportation and the Dyson sphere. Just because something is centuries or millennia away, doesn’t mean we can’t research it today.
What is not known, yet, is whether TUS can induce or stabilize lucid dreams
Vaporware.
Inception timeline
Sounds like a Black Mirror episode.
Damn that’d be nice. I’ve only had one lucid dream but every time I’ve tried to get one again I’ve landed myself in sleep paralysis.
Sleep apnea is the general cause of sleep paralysis. It's good idea to check if you happen to have a chance. :)
I think they're referring to staying conscious and meditating towards sleep to keep lucidity during the transition. It's a technique.
Yes, and the fact that they keep finding sleep paralysis instead of a lucid dream is a little concerning, so this person is recommending they talk to a professional about it.
If you’re meditating your way towards a lucid dream, and end up in sleep paralysis, it’s not because of sleep apnea. And if it was, you’d know since the intent is to be aware through the whole process into the dream.
I wanna say it's due to "delta waves" being produced by the brain. We believe it's a part of the sleep cycle that may help protect us from physically "acting out" our dreams.
Astral projection is better than lucid dreaming
Why would Bungie do this
Paprika?
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope
Inception, here we come baby
Google: shut up and take my money.
I'd prefer a drug that can do same, reliably
