Researchers led by Ursula Voss at the J.W. Goethe University Frankfurt, used a technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS)
The gadget comprises two small boxes with electrodes that are placed next to the skull and send a very weak, low-frequency electrical signal across the brain.
After the volunteers had experienced between two and three minutes of REM sleep, the scientists applied tACS, or a "sham" procedure that produced no current, for around 30 seconds. The current was below the sensory threshold, so that the subjects did not wake up.
The volunteers were tested at frequencies of two hertz (Hz), six Hz, 12Hz, 25Hz, 60Hz and 100Hz.
"The effect... was only observed for 25 and 40Hz, both frequencies in the lower gamma frequency band," Voss said.

I wasn't aware there were naysayers when it came to lucid dreaming? I was under the impression it was commonly accepted as a fact?

Yes i know about that and i can do that to, but i see it as being in a state where you are half awake and half sleeping,

It is. I think where most people drop out is when people start talking about astral travel during sleep. I know I do. Most people have had instances where they controlled the direction of their dreams or knew they were dreaming.

I do believe people are having that experience though.....do you ???
To Sleep, Perchance to Control Your Dreams...
Voss does not foresee a commercial market in lucid-dreaming machines. Devices currently sold "do not work well," she said in an interview, and those that deliver electrical stimulation to the brain, like the one in her study, "should always be monitored by a physician."
Lucid Dream "Machines"
Lucid dream masks may help you achieve your goal of becoming lucid on a nightly basis. They provide an artificial aid to supplement your own efforts in dream recall and reality checking. Just a word of caution: no lucid dream machine is a magic bullet for lucid dreaming and won't train you to become a better natural lucid dreamer. So don't rush out to buy one until you understand exactly how they achieve results.

Sounds like it would be a world changer.
How could TPTB have their little back room meeting when someone could walk through walls and be there in the back room with them listening to them and it is on the internet by the time they get in their car.
I can fantasize
