German and American scientists have discovered that stimulation of the brain with harmless electric current can help one control their dreams, that is not only be aware of the fact of being asleep, but also directing them at will. The new non-invasive technique could, among other things, help people who often see nightmares get rid of them.
Controlled, conscious or lucid dreams are part of the ritual traditions of various ancient civilizations and a subject of scientific research in recent years. These dreams are considered a hybrid or intermediate form of consciousness between sleep (with the usual non-lucid dreams) and wakefulness. Some even consider lucid dreaming to be a “gateway” for entry into some other reality fields.
Researchers, led by psychologist Ursula Voss of JW Goethe University of Frankfurt and Professor Allan Hobson of the School of Medicine at Harvard University conducted experiments with alternating electric current.
