I spent 2 years in sleep research labs
(ICM Paris + CRNL Lyon).

Here's everything I know about lucid dreaming
condensed into 1 page. Free.

Comment "DREAM" — I'll DM you the full
7-day guide + journal template.

Lucid Dreaming in 5 Steps
A sleep researcher’s cheat sheet.

01 — Reality Check
Look at your hands 10 times a day. Count your fingers. Ask yourself: am I dreaming? This habit slips into your dreams automatically.

02 — Dream Journal
The moment you wake up, don’t move. Write 3 words: a place, a person, an emotion. Your brain rebuilds the rest from those 3 anchors.

03 — Set Your Intention
Before sleep, repeat out loud: “Tonight I will know that I am dreaming.” Keep repeating until you drift off. This is called MILD — it’s the most studied technique.

04 — WBTB Alarm
Set an alarm 5 hours after you fall asleep. Wake up, stay awake 20 minutes (read about lucid dreaming), then go back to sleep with your full intention. You drop straight into REM.

05 — Stay Calm When It Happens
When you become lucid, don’t get excited — you’ll wake up. Rub your hands together. Look at the floor. Focus on a detail. That grounds you inside the dream.

Comment “DREAM” — I’ll send you the full 7-day guide.

just found the full breakdown of how to run 900 TikTok slideshows/month per client.

30/day across 10 accounts.

we’re doing 3/day on one account for DreamAmu — same logic, smaller scale but with basic slideshow for now.

if you’re building in public with an app, this is worth reading.

great idea to be honest i could see an app like that blowup during the world cup

i'm building an AI soccer coach to improve my shooting

using:
- roboflow RF-DETR to detect the ball / net / player
- mediapipe to record body angles when striking the ball
- python to analyze and annotate the video

i'll also try adding a VLM into the pipeline for coaching feedback

Claude Fable 5 is insane.

People can't stop building.

5 wild examples.

I was paying $50/month to build my app on a no-code tool.

Turns out it was just Claude underneath — which I was
ALREADY paying for separately.

Here's how I found out, the bug it was hiding, and how I
took my whole codebase back 🧵

[Alex Champavert (BrainAmu) @AlexChampavert]

Lesson:

No-code tools are an incredible on-ramp. But know what's
under the hood, and never let them hold your code hostage.

The day you can leave clean is the day you actually own
your product.

Building in public 🌙 follow for the next chapter.

A few months ago I’d never written a single line of React Native.

Tonight there are strangers using an app I built completely alone to train themselves to control their dreams.

I’m a sleep researcher — years in the labs at ICM Paris and CRNL Lyon studying how dreams actually work. I can lucid dream on demand. So I built the app I always wished existed when I started: DreamAmu. 🌙

Nobody tells you the science is the easy part.

Apple rejected it. Then rejected it again. Wrong icon size. Subscription metadata I didn’t understand. An iPad screenshot I didn’t even know was required.

Every “you’re done” turned into another two days of fixing things no tutorial warned me about.

No cofounder. No funding. No team. Just me, a lot of late nights, and a stubborn refusal to let it stay an idea.

It’s live on the App Store now. Real people are recalling their dreams, recognizing they’re dreaming, and actually steering them — with something I made.

If you’re building solo right now: what’s the thing that nearly broke you? 👇
