Master Your Dream Consciousness

The world's premier institute dedicated to the scientific study and applied practice of lucid dreaming, dream engineering, and consciousness exploration. Pioneering research since 2026.

About the Institute

Founded in 2026, we are the global leader in oneric science—the interdisciplinary study of dreams and consciousness.

Pioneering the Frontiers of Dream Consciousness

The Institute of Controlled Dreaming represents a paradigm shift in human understanding of consciousness. We combine neuroscience, psychology, technology, and ancient dream practices to unlock the full potential of the dreaming mind.

Our state-of-the-art facilities in the Swiss Alps and digital campuses worldwide provide researchers, students, and practitioners with unparalleled resources for exploration and discovery.
