Michael Raduga (born 1983) is a Russian-American researcher specializing on lucid dreaming. In 2023, in order to conduct medical experiments on himself, he successfully performed self-neurosurgery, which included electrode implantation.

Michael Raduga raises awareness that lucid dreams, sleep paralysis, false awakenings, out-of-body experiences, and similar phenomena should be united and studied as a single phenomenon due to their shared nature—activation of consciousness during REM sleep.

Notable experiments

[edit]

In 2011–2012, Michael Raduga conducted a series of experiments demonstrating that lucid dreams could be responsible for many alien abduction stories[1] (later it was confirmed on a larger group and published in a peer-reviewed journal[2]), religious visions[3], and near-death experiences[4]

In 2020, Michael Raduga published a study in Medical Hypotheses that demonstrated close correlations between the frequencies of lucid dreams, sleep paralysis, false awakenings, and out-of-body experiences. Additionally, almost all of these phenomena were correlated with dream recall frequency and sleep duration.[5]

In 2023-2024 he has demonstrated that speech[6] and melodies[7] can be transmitted from dreams in real-time. In addition, his team have shown that a virtual Cybertruck[8] or a smart home[9] can be controlled from sleep. Additionally, Raduga's company, REMspace Inc., claims to have achieved the first ‘chat’ between two dreaming humans.[10]

Complete list of peer-reviewed studies and preprints.

Self-neurosurgery

[edit]

In 2023, Raduga—to avoid bureaucratic obstacles and speed up his studies—performed self-neurosurgery that included trepanation, electrode implantation, and electrical stimulation of the motor cortex.[11][12]
