  Hey guys do you wanna fly on this plane I dreamt into reality?

  Yes and then you wake up more tired than when you went to sleep (talking of my experience with lucid dreaming).

  I thought sleep was supposed to be my time.

  Getting closer and closer to making you part of the Matrix. Your productivity is not allowed to stop.

  This is the best summary I could come up with:

  But there’s still an appetite for new technologies, since the potential for creativity and problem-solving is so great and since many on the market don’t work to the extent they promise, a dreaming expert told Fortune.

  The potential of lucid dreaming is less about conquering specific problems and more about finding new, creative ways to approach topics that a sleeper couldn’t previously fathom.

  For example, a mathematician might not reach a specific, numerical answer to a math problem while asleep, but the lucid dream allows them to explore new strategies to tackle the equation while awake.

  To create the Halo, Prophetic is working with Card79 founder Afshin Mehin, who designed the Neuralink N1 device for Elon Musk’s brain implant company.

  Wollberg founded Prophetic in March alongside chief technology officer Wesley Louis Berry III, who was previously creating augmented reality art.

  In response to this claim, Wollberg cited a series of studies that link the level of prefrontal cortex activation with the ability to control a dream.

  This would lead to awful code, but it’s 100% bullshit.

  Someone somewhere is already planning how they will get people to work around the clock this way, and someone else somewhere is probably desperate enough to feed themselves or their family that they'll take it when offered.

  Upcoming app ideas from a world of restless engineers:

  • Nightmr - find the partner of your dreams^TM^
  • Google Dream Ads - advertise your product while your clients sleep

  It looks like interest rates aren’t high enough.

  what people are afraid of: extended work hours

  what I’m excited for: typing effortlessly at the speed of thought, writing code while working out, having more creative ideas while resting
