OMG finally!
I’ve been waiting for this since I saw this presentation by the Lucid Dreaming Web Saga guys like 10 years ago (great webseries by the way, I don’t know if the whole series is still up somewhere, but here’s a link to some episodes https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xf9pnx).
Anyway, the presentation I saw then and a couple times more over the years seems to have disappeared… They used a LD-mask that was linked to the internet so you could signal to each other. I’ve always been thinking about all the possibilities…
Thank you for the podcast and this website!
