The average person spends a third of their life sleeping. An initiative called Prophetic claims to have discovered a way for people to use this process to produce and work. The headband, which the company calls Halo, makes it possible for its users lucid dream or lucid dream It allows them to work in their dreams, so to speak. So the claims go in this direction…

Especially lucid dreaming or lucid dreaming parapsychology and metaphysics It is a concept that is often used in research. To put it very simply: in such dreams we realize that we are living in a dream. Often people wake up when they realize that they are dreaming or cannot control their dreams. The company’s goal is to give people control over their dreams.

Is it possible to work while sleeping?

Founder and CEO of the company Erik WolbergIn his statement to Fortune, he said that “the only limiting factor is your imagination” and gave examples of the areas of use of the technology they developed, such as a CEO who can test his investor meeting in his dreams, an athlete can try out different games and a web designer can create different themes.

In fact, we can control lucid dreaming and so to be more efficient There are other products that claim to provide the best solutions, but since there is no proven product in this area, new projects continue to emerge. Prophetic, on the other hand, takes a different approach by focusing on creativity and problem-solving skills. Lucid dreams will not be used to solve specific problems, but to reveal more creative and unthinkable solutions. For example, an engineer will not find a mathematical answer to the problem he encounters, but an alternative way to solve the problem.

How does Halo work?

According to the first designs, the Halo would look like a crown. we will wear it on our heads. Then Halo sends ultrasound waves to the part of our brain associated with lucid dreaming. These waves will also activate the part of our brain associated with lucid dreaming. The team that developed Halo Neuralink Card79 founder Afshin Mehin, who also participated in the development of the device called N1, is also present. So it looks like the team knows what they’re doing.

Although Wollberg says their goal is to control dreams, there are those who are skeptical of the technology. Professor of psychology, sleep and dream expert, from the University of Montreal Antonio Zadrafor the control of dreams”It’s not that simpleAccording to Zadra, it is not easy for someone who realizes that he is dreaming to stay in the dream. He says that the fact that Halo can induce lucid dreams does not guarantee control over the dream.

Wollberg responded to these accusations: activation of the frontal cortex He pointed to studies showing the link between lucid dreaming and the ability to control lucid dreams. However, almost all of these studies also recommend more detailed studies on this topic. The device developed by Prophetic is based on the work of the Donders Institute in the Netherlands. With the work due to be completed in 2024, it will become clear which parts Halo will specifically focus on.

For Halo, which will have a price between $1500 and $2000 Pay $100 It is possible to join the pre-order queue. While the company hasn’t given an exact number, their statement that they’ve made several hundred thousand dollars from this system shows that thousands of people are already lining up for Halo.
