Michael Raduga is a leading researcher of phase states, the author of 17 books, the CEO and founder of REMspace, and an expert on the TV show Inexplicable, yet Fact. He is also the creator of the term “phase” itself, which is used to describe various phenomena that occur when the brain switches to a state of awareness in the REM sleep phase. Specifically, the term “phase” includes lucid dreams, false awakenings, and sleep paralysis, as well as out-of-body and near-death experiences. Raduga’s work has been translated into 25 languages.
Michael was born on July 1, 1983, in Novosibirsk’s Akademgorodok (Russia, Siberian scientific center), and had his first out-of-body experience at school. By the age of 20, he had found a way to enter the phase almost every day. His “indirect method” was officially presented to the scientific community in 2021. In 2024, he moved to Silicon Valley, where he continues to work as the CEO of REMspace.
Over the past year, Michael has been the top researcher in terms of the number of scientific papers published on the topic of lucid dreaming. Practitioners may particularly benefit from his research on techniques that help people enter the phase and make it more realistic. He also determined the threshold of satisfaction with the vividness of sensations in lucid dreams and explained whether men or women find the practice easier.
Michael’s experiments that allow a connection to be established between the real world and the phase are ongoing. In such experiments, groups of experienced lucid dreamers controlled a smart home and a virtual car and transmitted and reproduced music while in a lucid dream. A new method has been developed that allows the use of only one sensor in the laboratory, accelerating the development of science.
