People spend one-third of their lives asleep. What if employees could work during that time … in their dreams?
Prophetic, a venture-backed startup founded earlier this year, wants to help workers do just that. Using a headpiece the company calls the “Halo,” Prophetic says consumers can induce a lucid dream state, which occurs when the person having a dream is aware they are sleeping. The goal is to give people control over their dreams, so they can use that time productively. A CEO could practice for an upcoming board meeting, an athlete could run through plays, a web designer could create new templates—“the limiting factor is your imagination,” founder and CEO Eric Wollberg told Fortune.
Edit: someone else beat me to it, I cede to you my bruh
Yeah, fuck that, I’m flying around doing crazy shit in dreams I control. Unless I get paid hourly.
“Yeah boss … I came up with this really cool solution while I was dreaming but I couldn’t remember it when I woke up so I’m gonna need to get some more sleep hours in to try to find it again.”
I can give a 1 better. Ive developed a technique to write code while drunk.
If I can work while I sleep and then not go to my day job…
Anyone who does this when they’re stressed out knows how awful it is to be stuck thinking about a work problem over and over again and never feeling truly rested.
Often I do not wake up having solved the problem, I simply wake up feeling like the problem is hopeless because I’ve been obsessing over it instead of resting and never solving it
