Startup REMspace Revolutionizes Neurotechnology: Two-Way Communication in Lucid Dreams and the Future of Mental Exploration
Over the past decade, neurotechnology has made huge advances, but REMspace‘s recent milestone is rewriting the rules of lucid sleep. Based in Silicon Valley, REMspace aims to transform dreams into a field of mental exploration and social interaction: “we believe that REM sleep will be the next groundbreaking advancement following AI, poised to revolutionise civilisation.” The start-up recently realised the first two-way communication between two people in a lucid dream state, opening up new possibilities for interacting and exchanging messages within dreams.
What is REMspace?
REMspace is a startup that aims to transform lucid dreaming into a communal experience that can be used to improve mental health, expand creativity and offer a tool for exploring the subconscious mind. Founded by CEO Michael Raduga, a lucid dreaming pioneer with years of personal research (REM sleep, sleep paralysis) as well as having written 15 books on sleep-related topics. REMspace develops devices and software that promote lucid sleep and psychophysical well-being. Among its flagship products are intelligent sleep masks that improve the quality of rest and supplements to facilitate entry into a lucid dream state.
Pioneering Experiment: Communication in Dreams
In September 2024, REMspace completed an unprecedented experiment: a two-way communication between two people in a lucid dream state. The experiment involved two physically separated participants, who were monitored as they entered the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) phase, a time when the most vivid dreams occur. Using REMspace’s Remmyo system, the first participant received an audio message (a random word) through earphones and repeated it in his dream, where it was detected by facial sensors. The second participant, once also in a lucid dream state, received the word and confirmed it upon waking.

This experiment opens up new scenarios not only for the study of dreams, but also for future applications that could include more complex communication and perhaps, in the long term, even a form of real-time interaction in dreams.
Vision of REMspace: Future of Lucid Sleep
REMspace is not limited to just exchanging messages in dreams; its long-term mission is more ambitious. Michael Raduga envisions a future in which lucid dreaming can help people overcome trauma, increase creativity and improve daily mood. Lucid dreaming, according to Raduga, could become a tool within everyone’s reach, capable of amplifying the potential of the human mind. Commercially, REMspace aims to develop a range of products including supplements, sleep masks and other devices for controlling and enhancing the experience of lucid dreaming.
A vision beyond communication: REMspace’s next goals
REMspace’s ultimate goal is to make real-time communication during lucid dreams possible, an achievement that could revolutionise not only the field of sleep, but also that of human interaction. Although the journey is long and complex, the start-up has recently raised over $1 million in funding, resources that will be invested in the development of advanced hardware and software, hiring engineers and specialised researchers. With a future that looks towards new possibilities in the field of dream interaction, REMspace positions itself as one of Silicon Valley’s boldest and most visionary start-ups.
Conclusion: Towards a Future where Lucid Dreams will Transform Communication
REMspace’s achievement not only marks a new frontier for the science of dreams, but also opens the door to infinite potential for improving people’s lives through control and access to their dreams.
