It feels so real.

You're like, how is this possible?

It feels so real.

Tell them to sleep.

And if they are having a dream that they're aware of, a lucid dream, they can send us a signal.

And with this idea, which is, for me, it's incredible, they actually managed to show that sleeping people were actually sending the eye signals to tell, I'm having a lucid dream.

So this illness comes with a superpower.

You also become a great lucid dreamer.

So he was having a lot of lucid dreams and he would tell us about his adventures in the night.

So we thought, OK, that's great.

So we can maybe do a little experiment on you.

So they answer and they mumble.

They're like, and sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it doesn't.

We call them micro arousals.

So your brain kind of wakes up for a second.

But I think we were still a bit naive about it.

We're like, yeah, let's try, but we didn't really.

We were like, it might work, but it might not work.

And then we ask them, for example, some questions.

Is he really sleeping?
