Scientists Are Researching a Device That Can Induce Lucid Dreams on Demand::The startup behind Halo is aiming for a future where a wearable headband can give people the experience of awakening in a lucid dream.
Countdown to ads in your dreams… Is there a Futurama episode that has that?
“They come here every day to sleep?” “No, they come to be woken up.”
2025? They are fishing for funding or talent I bet.
Hmmm, yes … “Scientists are researching a device” aka “this device does not exist nor does the technology required to build it”
thats what research implies, yes
You could also say that scientists are currently working on general purpose AI, cold fusion, nanobots, space elevator, warp drive, teleportation and the Dyson sphere. Just because something is centuries or millennia away, doesn’t mean we can’t research it today.
What is not known, yet, is whether TUS can induce or stabilize lucid dreams
Vaporwear.
Inception timeline
Sounds like a Black Mirror episode.
Here we come!
Damn that’d be nice. I’ve only had one lucid dream but every time I’ve tried to get one again I’ve landed myself in sleep paralysis.
Wait until you experience your first astral projection ! But yeah, when I tried it a second time I’m also fell into sleep paralysis… Scary shit !
Astral projection is better than lucid dreaming
Sleep apnea is the general cause of sleep paralysis. It’s good idea to check if you happen to have a chance. :)
I think they’re referring to staying conscious and meditating towards sleep to keep lucidity during the transition. It’s a technique.
Good luck. What’s the eventual purpose though?
Creating batteries for the machines.
Good point.
Recreation? Not everything strictly needs practical purposes. Though it might have medical or therapeutic use.
Sex dreams you can control
Treatment of persistent nightmares as part of psychotherapy? If they can get this thing certified as a medical device they can jack up the price by 500% no problem.
Why would Bungie do this
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope
I’d prefer a drug that can do same, reliably
Paprika?
Google: shut up and take my money.
Inception, here we come baby

No thanks. I like sleeping while I’m sleeping. You introduce controlled lucid dreaming and soon enough I’ll have a second job at dream McDonalds to pay for my space underwear.

I read that as “second dream job at McDonalds” and I was like damn… there goes the phrase dream job.
