Will We Live to See Lucid Dreaming Pill Technology?

Technology is advancing rapidly, and with the help of artificial intelligence (and next decades by AGI and ASI), even the most far-fetched technological developments today could become a reality in the coming decades. One technology I dream of is the lucid dreaming pill.

After taking this pill, we would first feel drowsy and fall asleep. Following a few hours of necessary non-REM sleep, the pill would induce an advanced version of REM sleep. At the same time, it would allow us to gain full awareness within our dreams, enabling us to experience highly vivid, colorful, and fully controllable lucid dreams.

In fact, the probability of achieving lucidity after taking the pill would be 99%.

However, I have some concerns about this technology. If it provides people with extremely high-quality, realistic lucid dreams, could it lead to dependency? Would people eventually prefer the dream world over reality?

If that happens, I fear that this pill might be banned. And that would be so typical of us humans—depriving ourselves of a revolutionary technology before it is even invented, simply because of the possibility that some might misuse it.

I truly hope this doesn’t happen, and that we can see lucid dreaming pills before the 2080s.

Do you think we, as the Gen Z generation, will live long enough to witness it in a healthy state?
