Abstract
Lucid dreaming allows conscious awareness and control of vivid dream states, however its rarity and instability make neuroscientific experimentation challenging. Recent advances in wearable neurotechnology, large-scale collaborations, citizen neuroscience and artificial intelligence increasingly facilitate the decoding of this intriguing phenomenon.
