The subject line of last Friday’s newsletter “Don’t let your dreams give up on you” was something I heard a fourth grader say a few weeks ago. I immediately knew I needed to make it into one of my lifted type collages and it’s become a mantra of mine ever since.

A new study shows that a lucid dreaming app, using the method called Targeted Lucidity Reactivation (TLR), can increase lucid dreaming frequency from 0.74 to 2.11 dreams per week. This research demonstrated that sensory cues delivered during sleep significantly enhanced dream awareness, with participants reporting improved emotional states after lucid dreams. The app combines pre-sleep training with auditory cues, showing promise for sleep-based self-improvement.

Recent studies have uncovered intriguing insights into dreams, from two-way communication in lucid dreaming to the role of social interactions in dream sharing. Lucid dreamers have even controlled virtual objects while asleep, revealing the potential for real-time communication during dreams.
