Lucid dreaming researchers detect gamma surges within 7 dreamers’ brains in May 2025, followed by eccentric connectivity patterns. Gamma spikes coincide with moments of surreal self-awareness, leaving scientists marveling at the brain’s unpredictable logic.

Unusual waves ripple across sleeping brains as researchers document a second pattern—intricate neural signals rarely seen in typical REM sleep. Neuroscientists say these findings could advance sleep science, revealing why some dreamers awake feeling like mind-bending acrobats.
