I myself am more interested in the innerverse if that’s a word. I have been researching lucid dreaming for about 3 years and I think there’s a huge market there if you’re able to provide consistent reliable repeatable lucid dreams on a weekly basis and allow people to explore their subconscious. That’s a third of their time they can use to either have fun or train certain skills and then use their waking time for other things. Instead of being sucked into a VR headset for hours on end. I’m not gonna plug my app but I’m open to talk to interested people!

> there’s a huge market there if you’re able to provide consistent reliable repeatable I'm all for the “innerverse”. However, the danger of juxtaposing the “innerverse” with the metaverse (and naming it so) is that people will approach it the wrong way and expect that always "consistent reliable repeatable" experience. The mindset is very different. It is more about a subtle/introspective/meditative/mindfull inner-discovery than an "automatic" (consistent reliable repeatable) entertainment. I'm not saying you are doing it this way. I'm just wary of people eventually coming to it from the neuralink angle and trying to quantify and control it to death (quite literally, because dreams are fragile things)

  Thank you for your input. My approach has been in making all the traditional techniques easier to handle. Reminders to do RC, WBTB alarms based on your sleep stage and Pavlovian conditioning with haptic cues during specific speed stages. I’m partnering with one of, if not the, most qualified young researchers in the space and trying to bring a truly scientific approach to the app. It’s a long road still given I’m currently out only on Fitbit and can’t find a good iOS developer for Apple Watch, but that’s a different story
