The article discusses the author's experience with lucid dreaming, facilitated by the app Awoken, which combines daytime training with nighttime sensory cues to enhance dream awareness and control. Lucid dreaming, where the dreamer is aware and can sometimes control the dream, is linked to cognitive benefits like improved self-awareness and mental health. Techniques such as reality checks and dream journaling are recommended to achieve lucidity. While apps like Awoken don't directly cause lucid dreams, they support the process by providing reminders and cues to enhance dream awareness.

"Revolutionizing Work: Lucid Dream Startup Enables Engineers to Code While Asleep"

Prophetic, a startup backed by venture capital, aims to enable workers to code and work in their dreams using a headpiece called the "Halo" that induces a lucid dream state. The Halo, designed in collaboration with Card79 founder Afshin Mehin, uses focused ultrasound beams to activate the brain regions responsible for decision-making and awareness during sleep. While other devices claiming to induce lucid dreams exist, Prophetic aims to provide better control over dreams, allowing users to practice skills and explore creative problem-solving. However, skeptics argue that achieving dream control is challenging, and it requires a combination of the device and mindfulness techniques. Prophetic plans to release the Halo in spring 2025, with an estimated cost of $1,500 to $2,000 per device.
