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
I also see that. as much as I would love to have been born earlier I clearly see being born later is worse and worse. In my parents time part of the “dream” was to own a home free and clear. I decade or so back I realized young folks did not even understand that. The dream was warped to be to just have a mortgage backed place at all. It feels like now its the eternal mortgage that doesn’t do anything more but protect against sudden rent spikes. I foresee the dream becoming just renting a place of your own without roommates.
The latter is already happening in many regions. Some people even try to look positively on it, but it’s clearly an “own nothing and be happy” mentality
