Hollywood has popularized lucid dreams with movies like Christopher Nolan's Inception and The Cell. What if you were able to act consciously in your dreams, meet certain people or script them as if you were a movie director? These abilities come naturally to very few individuals; for most, acquiring the skill demands years of conscious training. The startup Luciding aims to ease this process of becoming a lucid dreamer. Its LucidCatcher headband helps dreamers to tap into vivid dream experiences, control them, and improve retention of dream memories once awake. To match the surrealist nature of this fantastical project, Paris-based designer Erik Halley has embedded this technology into a couture mask. This wondrous object is ready to open new doors of perception in more ways than one.ABOUT LUCIDING

Its LucidCatcher headband uses low-powered electrical pulses, tDCS technology (transcranial direct current stimulation), to provoke a higher state of consciousness but during REM sleep, which results an easier defining a dream from reality also known as lucid dreaming.
Developed alongside with a Novosibirsk State University, “MIT” equivalent for Russia, Siberia its harmless stimulation facilitates a switch from deep sleep to REM sleep. The results bring a clearer perception of the difference between dream and reality, a state also known as lucid dreaming.
Different from a led-light shedding masks which aim to trains determine being lucid, LucidCatcher slightly encourages the brain to activate frequencies resembled to those occur during a meditation.
