LUCID dreaming is the act of being aware that you’re in a dream and sometimes being able to control what happens.

A new device from a company called Prophetic aims to induce lucid dreams and allow users to make sleeping more productive.

The device is called a Halo and users wear it like a crown while they sleep.

It’s said to rely on ultrasound and machine learning.

The Prophetic website explains: “The combination of ultrasound and machine learning models (created using EEG & fMRI data) allows us to detect when dreamers are in REM to induce and stabilize lucid dreams.

“Together we will pursue the answers to life’s biggest questions.”

Adding: “Prophetic’s mission is to give you the ability to explore your own consciousness and create a tool that will bring us all closer to understanding this great mystery.”

It’s thought that most people spend around one third of their lives sleeping.

Being able to control lucid dreams could help humans be more productive at this time.

That’s according to Business Insider, which gave the example of engineers potentially being able to code during lucid dreaming.

Prophetic aims to start shipping its devices in 2025.

Each device will cost around $1,500 to $2,000.

Prophetic is looking for volunteers who have been involved in lucid dreaming studies before.

It hopes volunteers will be able to help it create a huge data set.

The volunteers will get access to one of the headsets and an app where they can upload data.

You can apply to be part of the trial on the Prophetic website.
