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.”
Relax guys, it’s just another scam start up to steal money from dumbass investors. It’ll never reach a prototype.
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
If I can work while I sleep and then not go to my day job…
I can give a 1 better. Ive developed a technique to write code while drunk.
