Your waking life for minimum wage and your dreams for free.
I’m probably not a lucid dreamer, but at times when I write code all day long I may also dream about it at night. Sometimes, I would wake up in the middle of the night and write an “amazing solution” down so I can implement it the next day. Not surprisingly, most of the “amazing solutions” are total nonsense.
Edit: If this happens to you, it’s probably a sign that you code way too much. I know it might be difficult, but try to relax more please.
Sounds like the sleeping equivalent of epiphanies while on drugs.
To be honest, some of the solutions were quite good. But I still don’t recommend it. Toilet debugging is better :D
I dunno, that’s pretty subjective really. I’ve seen people who do hard stuff like heroin and meth just straight up quit after using shrooms once, having had an epiphany that they need to live cleaner. Then I’ve seen a young guy stay awake for days talking about how he found the secret to never dying, because he realized sleep is a conspiracy… So maybe you’re right, I dunno lol.
I’ve had it for doing too much of coding, math (can’t speak for meth), and playing online fps. But yes, I don’t know if these experiences count as lucid dreams.
Same… dreaming about calculating limits and integrals is pretty exhausting. Playing minecraft in your dreams is more fun :D

You ever have a crazy intense epic dream and come up with this awesome new idea that you think will change the world, and after a minute or two of being awake and coming to your senses, you realize how utterly idiotic you sound? There’s going to be a lot of that.
Have you ever had a dream that you, you had, your, you could, you’ll do, you wants, you could do so, you’ll do, you could, you want, you want him to do you so much you could do anything?
Probably. I have been able to lucid dream since I was a kid, if we’re talking about knowing you are dreaming and controlling aspects of the dream.
It’s still just your own brain, and if you’re controlling it you’re actually being less outside-the-box creative than in the dreams where you’re not.
If you’re so in control you’re able to force it to do work tasks then what’s going to be generated will probably be lower quality than waking tasks, not higher.
When I was twelve, I woke up convinced that the color yellow was called yellow, because humans had figured out that word was intrinsically linked to that color.
I was devastated my “epiphany” stopped making sense after I fully woke up.
Not too far off from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia
To be fair, that’s a bloody rad dream! Love the concept lol
What do you mean using pizzas for steering wheels is a bad idea!? I’m gonna make billions!
And no tooling will certainly improve the coding abilities. Especially since I remember all the code, including the changes others made in the time since I last looked at it.
I wrote a hit song with the Rolling Stones and was able to sing the whole thing when I woke up. It was gone by lunch time.
This would actually be insane for music creation. The few times I had dreams where I was playing an instrument, it was pure fire
AI hallucinations weren’t enough, we need real natural bed-to-table hallucinations
That happens with whip its too
Yes and then you wake up more tired than when you went to sleep (talking of my experience with lucid dreaming).

Are you really sleeping then? I thought the point of sleeping was to wash away the buildup of plaque (amyloid?) in your brain. IINM the inability to get rid of it is one of the reasons for Alzheimers and dementia.
I would really like to know what they measure and how it compares between users and non-users of this ultrasonic tech. Disrupting brain functionality to be quasi awake might not be the smartest thing to do.
For a job this would be horrifying. But for my hobbies? This would be cool as all heck.
this is gonna go nowhere per usual, but still, the very idea of working in your dreams is fucking horrifying. black mirror type shit.
Followed quickly by the quote “control is what we want”…sure, they mean for you over your dreams, right?
Imagine having the ability to lucid dream and your first thought is, great, more time with Excel!
This concept would make a good episode.
Rick and Morty already did it.
you mean the night people episode?
Go get HYPNOSPACE OUTLAW on Steam now EVERYONE GO DO IT
ZANE RULEZ
This would lead to awful code, but it’s 100% bullshit.
It looks like interest rates aren’t high enough.
I don’t entertain media with clickbait titles, and you shouldn’t either.
Doubt
Get your beefbrain shield pro quick, we’re headed into hypnospace
If this is the same startup I read about a while ago… Well the technology doesn’t actually exist. There’s a vague suggestion that maybe lucid dreams could be induced through techniques that are not properly understood yet, and that’s about it.
Well FWIW there are somewhat reproducible techniques, I’ve used them, but I couldn’t tell you how I’ve used them if my life depended on it (honestly, brain chemical imbalances or fatigue might be a prerequisite). I actually got tired of lucid dreaming and started avoiding certain positions in bed, and started shifting around if I felt myself getting close to jumping into a lucid dream during hypnagogia.
I also worked on university assignments during lucid dreams, solved countless bugs in my code while asleep, a friend can even attest to it since one time I instantly woke up to solve a specific bug and then went back to sleep, with him right next to me (all nighters woo hoo).
It can be done. It really shouldn’t be done. The reason why I grew tired of lucid dreaming is because I didn’t feel like I was actually resting at all. That disconnect and peace that falling asleep gives you, it’s not there for me while lucid dreaming (at least not if I jumped in through hypnagogia).
Yeah, unfortunately my weak brain instantly wakes up as soon as I realize I’m in a dream, the rare times it happens
Focus on something up close in your dream, like the texture of a wall or table, it’ll pull you back into the dream. Works for me!
The other suggestion is to spin around, but I did that to stay in a dream once and noclipped through the floor. Which woke me up.
I was often sent flying with no way to come back down. Went up fast. Not great for anxiety. The “focusing on stuff” trick does work, though if I overdid it I also woke up because I tried engaging my senses too much.
With enough venture capital, anything is possible! Cheques in my name, please.

Where can I invest?
the other guy had it almost right, you’re looking for DMT
DM me hun x
