A smartphone app using sensory cues can significantly increase the frequency of lucid dreams.

Lucid dreaming has drawn increasing public interest for its potential benefits, including enhancing creativity, overcoming nightmares, and providing a space for personal growth and skill practice.

Northwestern University researchers wanted to explore whether a simplified, app-based approach using Targeted Lucidity Reactivation could be adapted for use outside the lab.

The Northwestern team has already begun collaborating with InteraXon , the company behind the Muse -S headband, which could allow for more precise sleep-stage detection and improve the effectiveness of the Targeted Lucidity Reactivation method.

Researchers are considering incorporating wearable technology capable of detecting REM sleep.
