Wake up
inside your dreams.

Dream Awake is an app that teaches you to lucid dream. By day, you follow a step‑by‑step course. By night, when your Apple Watch senses you’re dreaming, Dream Awake plays a sound to help you become lucid.

A course for your first lucid dream.

Six short chapters, each building on the last. You start by remembering your dreams, because everything else depends on it.

  1. Introduction

    Learn how sleep works so you can use methods effectively.

  2. Intention

    Intending to become lucid makes it more likely.

  3. Dream Recall

    The foundation of lucid dreaming.

  4. Methods

    Practice effective methods like MILD, WBTB, TLR, and prospective memory training.

  5. Meditation

    Practice lucidity while you’re awake.

  6. Staying Lucid

    Have longer lucid dreams.

A sound to help you realize you’re dreaming.

In a dream, you forget to ask if you’re dreaming. When your Apple Watch detects REM sleep, Dream Awake plays a sound cue to remind you.

Questions

I’m new. Where do I start?

Start with our lucid dreaming course. It’s designed for beginners, teaching fundamental skills in the correct order.

I’ve been stuck for months. Can this help?

Yes. Being stuck often comes from missing the basics: you forget most of your dreams, don’t set strong intentions to lucid dream before bed, or don’t have an established meditation practice. Our course guides you through each, then adds advanced methods like a sound cue in your dream.

Will the sound cue wake me?

Possibly. But you have control over the settings (like cue volume, cue window, etc.), so you can adjust with experience.

Who can see my dreams?

Only you. For the beta, all dreams are stored locally on your phone.

Is it scary? What about sleep paralysis?

Usually it’s thrilling. Some people wake briefly unable to move; this is sleep paralysis. It’s unpleasant but harmless, and it soon passes.

Can it help with nightmares?

Lucid dreaming can be used to change nightmares. However, Dream Awake isn’t therapy. If your nightmares are frequent, see a doctor or therapist.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

Only for the sound cue: your watch tells the app when you’re dreaming. Everything else works on iPhone alone.
