According to the handbook of Behavioral Neuroscience, only around 20% of people are capable of lucid dreaming, or being aware and being able to control one’s dreams. With only 1% capable of it on a weekly basis. However, possibly not for long, that is if this new device from tech company Prophetic actually works.

00:00According to the Handbook of Behavioral Neuroscience, only around 20% of people are capable of lucid dreaming,
00:09or being aware and being able to control one's dreams, and that's on a monthly basis.
00:14Only 1% can do it weekly, however, possibly not for long.
00:18That is, if this new device from tech company Prophetic actually works.
00:21Its developers are calling it Halo, and it will use data from EEGs and fMRIs to figure out when a user enters a REM sleep state,
00:29or our deepest level of sleep, and when dreaming occurs.
00:32The whole thing is based on research from Dutch Cognitive and Behavioral Research Organization, the Donders Institute,
00:38which has been studying lucid dreaming for years.
00:40Their research suggests that lucid dreaming can be induced by targeting certain areas of the brain with particular ultrasound frequencies.
00:47Pretty cool, but how much will something like this cost?
00:49According to Prophetic, Halo will retail for between $1,500 and $2,000.
00:54However, despite the high price tag, people are already lining up to control their dream state.
00:58With Prophetic announcing that thousands have already put down money and reserved one for themselves,
01:03which the company says they expect to ship Halo in 2025.
