I would pay quite a bit to have lucid dreams every night. The more control I'd have over the dreams the more I'd pay. Imagine never really losing consciousness. Would be a whole new world.

I'm with you on this, and that it's why this line from the article seemed odd to me "Voss does not foresee a commercial market in lucid-dreaming machines.".

Maybe just people aren't generally aware of lucid dreaming to know what the market size is.

She doesn't foresee a commercial market in lucid-dreaming because she thinks it's dangerous to induce an electrical current in the brain without an overseeing physician, not because she doesn't imagine any demand for it.

Imagine you could somehow import data in large volumes into dreams. How crazy would it be if you dream, but in your dream you read an entire novel and retained it all?
