Prophetic, a new startup founded earlier this year, is developing a device to induce lucid dreaming. AdvertisementA new venture-backed startup is capitalizing on the productivity that can be channeled while lucid dreaming, Fortune reports. Allowing customers to tap into lucid dreaming could pave the way for productivity at nighttime— for example, engineers could code in their sleep, per Fortune. Prophetic wants to subvert the lack of activity that happens during sleep by inducing a lucid dream state. The product is grounded in ongoing research by the Donders Institute in the Netherlands that targets specific brain areas and ultrasound frequencies for optimal lucid dream induction.
