Halo: you’ll be able to control everything you do while you sleep!

Prophetic’s Halo device has arrived to induce a state of sleep in which the user is aware that they are sleeping and dreaming, thus allowing them to control what they do.

The Halo is described by the company as a “non-invasive neurostimulation device” that offers “the ultimate sandbox for divergent problem solving.”

Prophetic states that the only factor that can affect the user experience is their imagination.

The device uses focused ultrasound signals to activate the dream state. Company founder Eric Wollberg suggested that, once in a lucid dream state, workers could practice demonstrations or creative problem solving on difficult tasks.

The company’s website states: “Lucid dreams free us from the conventional laws of physics. Gravity, conservation of energy, conservation of mass.

“There is a reason why luminaries in the history of science, mathematics and art credit their most important discoveries to their lucid dreams.”

Prophetic has raised over $1 million so far. This is to develop the product. Meanwhile it is said to be working with one of the designers of Elon Musk’s Neuralink device.

Fortune says that when it arrives in 2025, the Halo device will cost between $1,500 and $2,000.

Studies suggest that about 70 percent of people will experience lucid dreams at least once in their lives. As such much research has been done into how this state can be induced.

A team from the University of Adelaide carried out a study in 2017. They tested three techniques to try to increase the chances of having a lucid dream, reports the Independent.

So the first involved participants checking their environment several times a day. This is to see if they were dreaming. The second encouraged people to set an alarm five hours after going to sleep and falling back asleep to encourage the REM phase of sleep. The third asked people to repeat the phrase “the next time I’m dreaming, I’ll remember that I’m dreaming” to themselves.

However, this last technique proved to be extremely effective, with 46% of participants stating that they had lucid dreams when they tried it.
