In a surprising revelation shared on the social media platform X, Andrew Yeung, founder of an events company and former Meta and Google employee, claims to have met a New York City-based entrepreneur who has mastered lucid dreaming to boost her productivity. This woman reportedly works around the clock, even while asleep, by actively problem-solving in her dreams.
Yeung’s post highlighted that this unique strategy seems to be paying off, as the entrepreneur has successfully raised significant funding for her startup and built a team of dozens. While some netizens expressed skepticism, comparing the approach to the intense ‘996’ work culture associated with San Francisco, Yeung defended his claim, stating, “I promise it did bro.” The post quickly garnered a wide range of reactions, from amusement to outright disbelief, with some suggesting the story was more suited for platforms like LinkedIn.
What is Lucid Dreaming?
Lucid dreaming is a fascinating state where an individual becomes aware they are dreaming while still in the dream state. In many instances, lucid dreamers can even exert control over the dream’s narrative or elements. While these experiences can occur spontaneously, techniques like regular reality checks, maintaining a dream journal, and practicing the MILD (Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams) method can help individuals learn to induce and control their own lucid dreams.
