Communication with participant seven during a lucid dream, time-stamping his dream yoga practice. 1 About four hours into the night, the practitioner produces one sniff signal, followed by six left-right eye signals that appear as mirror images on the two EOG traces. He then produces two sniffs to mark the start of his practice. In later epochs he produced four sniff signals to mark the end of the practice (not shown). The large slow waves on F3, F4 and C3 at the same moment are those eye movements bleeding into the nearest brain electrodes, not brain rhythms. 2 Chin muscle tone stays flat throughout: the body is in REM paralysis. 3 The sharp spikes in the airflow trace are the sniff signals, one before the eye signal and two after it. Between them, breathing goes shallow while the eye signal is made. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66747f4caf72167fad70e3e3/17fc33c8-0d07-4e7e-994e-06e7ddd25985/Screenshot+2026-10-17+at+2.06.14%E2%80%AFPM.png Projects - The Bhutan Project A morning interview.
