Unlock Lucid Dreaming with Your Apple Watch

Reality Test with Your Watch

Lucid dreaming happens when you become aware that you're dreaming — unlocking incredible possibilities in your dream world. LucidCue helps you achieve this awareness naturally and simply, using your Apple Watch.

As you lie comfortably and begin drifting off, occasionally perform a gentle wrist twitch — a "reality check" gesture. When you're awake, your watch detects the motion and immediately responds with your personalized vibration pattern, reassuring you, "I'm still awake."

The core insight of LucidCue is that the transition from wakefulness to sleep is subtle and often indistinguishable from being awake. When you enter a dream, especially during REM sleep, your mind may still believe you’re fully awake. Moving your hand in a dream can feel exactly like moving your real hand when awake. The watch's response — or rather, the absence of it — is thus the reliable indicator. When you twitch your hand within a dream and feel no vibration, it confirms unequivocally: "I'm in a dream."
