MASTER LUCID DREAMING Your dreams can be your superpower. Awaken the energy of your sleeping mind by becoming lucid in your dreams. In just 10 minutes a day, you can explore your dreams for: - Creative insights: dreams are pure creativity - Profound mental breakthroughs - Self-awareness, meaning, adventure, and personal growth - And genuinely fun — exploring the universe in your dreams is right here at your fingertips MEET MAYA, YOUR DREAM GUIDE Maya is an AI guide trained on the research of Stephen LaBerge, Matthew Walker, Carl Jung and decades of lucid dreaming science. Tell her a dream and she'll help you see what's in it — without the dream-dictionary nonsense. She remembers every dream you share, so the picture gets clearer the longer you practice. THE COURSE 23 guided lessons, in the voice of a certified mindfulness instructor and lucid dreaming teacher. Start with attention and dream recall, move through reality testing and dream signs, and finish with the induction techniques that actually work: MILD, WBTB, and wake-initiated lucidity. Each lesson comes with a short practice you can do the same day. YOUR DREAM JOURNAL Write as many entries as you like. Maya reads what you write and surfaces the symbols, people, places and emotions that keep coming back — your Patterns page turns a pile of entries into the shape of your inner life. Turn any dream into high-resolution artwork. SLEEP BETTER, LIVE BETTER Bad sleep ruins your nights and your days. Learn the clinical fundamentals of sleep hygiene, why REM matters, and how to build the sleep that makes vivid dreaming possible in the first place. OVERCOME NIGHTMARES Transform recurring nightmares into something you can move through, using evidence-based methods — without digging through trauma or root causes. WHAT PEOPLE SAY "The lucid dreaming course is flat-out, bone-simple, brilliant. Not a word or breath is an extraneous move. The goal is there, elucidated, on Day One. Go. Now. Starting this course again tomorrow." — Micah "Brilliant, loved every module. Your course is so thorough and touches on many aspects that resonate very deeply within me and my consciousness. I'm so grateful for what you've done." — Paul "Surprisingly effective. Been following the sessions and using the journal for a few weeks now and am actually surprised by the results. Lucid dreaming is easier than expected when you train and focus on it." — Fred SUBSCRIPTION PRICING AND TERMS Mind Awake Pro is $9.99/month or $79.99/year (auto-renewing), with a 7-day free trial on the monthly plan for new subscribers.

Many of us started with guided meditation but found ourselves craving more freedom and fewer rigid scripts. TapTap Mind is designed for exactly that: a self-directed meditation experience. Inspired by ancient Mala bead counting and built for the latest Apple Watch (Series 9, 10, Ultra 2), TapTap Mind empowers you to set your own tempo toward calm. With a simple double tap between breaths or mantras, you control your practice—while advanced metrics provide meaningful insights. Best of all, we collect zero personal data, so your journey remains yours alone. 1. Just Double Tap Start your session and gently mark each breath or mantra with a double tap. Meditation has never felt so intuitive. 2. Essential Metrics Track Mood, HRV, Pace, and Mindful Minutes in Apple Health. Gain a clearer picture of your progress without any extra fuss. 3. Completely Private We believe in autonomy. TapTap Mind collects ZERO personal information—your data stays safe and is only visible to you. 4. Control When You Need It Pick from customizable countdowns or Mala-inspired presets (27, 54, or 108). You decide how deep you want to go. 5. New Meditation Anchors Go beyond just breath. Notice the gentle sensation on your wrist, your fingertip’s tap, or follow the graceful countdown dial. 6. Dynamic Widget & Complications Use the dynamic Apple Watch complication or Smart Stack widget to keep your practice top of mind and build a lasting habit.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TapTap Mind holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lucid Dreaming, Mindfully has 84 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Lucid Dreaming, Mindfully's written reviews are positive against 50% of TapTap Mind's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
