Summary

Scientist Tobi Matzek has breathed underwater, explored outer space and even transformed into a dragon – in their dreams. “I pulled a purple-and-white pill out of my pocket and swallowed it, and immediately, I had purple dragon wings,” they say. These adventures occurred during lucid dreams , when a person is aware they are dreaming and can often influence what happens. Matzek, at the University of Montreal in Canada, has now found that lucid dreams can be induced in some people via cognitive and multisensory stimulation.
