Electric dreams: Scientists find a way to 'control' plotlines of dreams


A surreal scene from the 2010 film 'Inception' directed by Christopher Nolan, which tells the story of a group of individuals who are able to induce 'lucid dreaming' in order to infiltrate other people's dreams to commit industrial espionage.

Night dreams in which you show up at work naked, encounter an axe-wielding psychopath or experience other tribulations may become a thing of the past thanks to a new discovery.

Applying electrical current to the brain, according to a study published on May 11 in Nature Neuroscience, induces ‘lucid dreaming’ in which the dreamer is aware that he is dreaming and can often gain control of the ongoing plot. The findings are the first to show that inducing brain waves of a specific frequency produces lucid dreaming.
