What if I were to tell you that you can control your dreams and do whatever the heck you’ve ever wanted in real life?
Sounds like Inception, doesn’t it? But this time, it’s real. Or at least scientifically sound.
Lucid Dreaming
The term was coined by a Dutch author and psychiatrist Federick van Eeden back in 1913, and it’s a state of dreaming where the person in question is aware that they’re in a dream. It begins during the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of sleep.
And not only that, during lucid dreams, the person is also able to exert some control over the environment, the dream characters and the narrative.
The first step to enter lucid dreams is to be aware that you’re sleeping
In REM sleep, the part of the brain which recognises that you’re dreaming, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and also the place where working memory operates is deactivated.
Once the area is activated and you realise you’re conscious and remember it’s a dream, you’re lucid dreaming.
And that’s where the IBand+ comes into play
It’s a device that measures and analyses your brain waves. When it detects you going into REM sleep, it will play audio-visual cues that appear in your dream.
The cue will not wake you up but it will make you aware that you’re in a state of dreaming.
Go crazy and do whatever you want
Now you know you’re dreaming, go crazy and do whatever you want. Control the weather, get together with the girl of your dreams, soar into the sky, dive into the deepest oceans. Have an all-you-can-eat Pizza-thon if you want to.
Of course, we can’t guarantee that you can do whatever you want because studies seemed to indicate that you have some measure of control, but hey, we’ll let you know if we happen to get our hands on this cool device.
And it’s real
And if you think it’s too fantastic to be true, check out their page on Kickstarter.
It’s time to live the dream, baby!
