So, somewhere in New York City (of course), an entrepreneur claims she literally works 24/7, awake or asleep.
According to Andrew Yeung, a former Meta and Google employee turned startup founder, he met a woman who has mastered lucid dreaming just so she can solve business problems in her sleep.
Yeah…you actually read that right. She goes to bed with a to-do list.
Yeung posted the story on X (because where else?), saying the unnamed founder has already raised tens of millions of dollars and manages a few dozen employees.
Apparently, her technique is working, though probably not for her REM health.
“San Francisco is known for 996,” Yeung wrote, referencing China’s brutal 9 a.m.–9 p.m. six-day work schedule. “But in New York, we’re 24/7.”
Sure, she might be dreaming of success, but if your subconscious is your office now, maybe capitalism’s finally jumped the shark.
You know….this is not entirely fake. Lucid dreaming is a real phenomenon, but it’s rare, inconsistent, and not the productivity cheat code Instagram hustle bros make it out to be.
You can’t freaking train your subconscious to do complex problem-solving like coding or fundraising while you’re dreaming. The brain isn’t a Slack workspace with infinite uptime. What this really feels like is someone weaponizing dreams to sell the fantasy of infinite productivity. Maybe the next evolution of entrepreneur scams.
Still, people eat it up because hustle culture thrives on guilt. It gaslights you into thinking rest is laziness, but isn’t rest the whole point of being human?
Working in your sleep isn’t success, it’s like a burnout trying to cosplay as ambition.
There’s absolutely no data, no verification of someone being able to do this consistently in any part of the world. This, coming from a former Meta and Google employe,e is kinda strange. Aren’t they some of the smartest humans out there?
Guess not…
THE WHY: STUPIDITY
I’ll give this one 0.5 stars out of 5, because it’s just another empty hustle myth wrapped in a dream journal for people terrified of slowing down.
“Look, most of us want a normal life without any drama, but life in this world is always strange, and uncertain.
I don’t need your email. I don’t want to bug you with a billion notifications. All I ask is this, if you felt something here, if this made you think, laugh, or even shake your head in disbelief, just bookmark ‘Averagebeing.com’ and come back tomorrow.
That’s it. No strings. Just you, me, and this stupid world.”
