Imagine being able to control your dreams. Would you like to travel to another country by flying there like a super hero? Perhaps you‘d like to have tea with the Queen or go on a hot date with James Bond. Well, apparently, this new gadget might just give you that opportunity.
Introducing the Remee – a sleeping mask that helps you go into “˜lucid dreaming‘. Lucid dreaming is a skill, mastered by some and never aqcuired by others, that allows you to control your dreams, or at least steer them in a certain direction.
The Remee works as follows: The mask flashes a series of light patterns over your eyes while the mask is on. These light patterns supposedly makes you aware that you are dreaming and then induces lucid dreaming.
However, the mask is clever enough to know to start the flashing light patterns only once you‘ve entered REM sleep. REM sleep is considered to be the lightest stage of sleep and usually occurs close to morning. This is also the best time for lucid dreaming to happen.
Because everyone sleeps differently and dreams differently, too, Remee lets you change your user settings. By going on to their website, sleepwithremee.com, you can configure the user settings to your needs. The light sensors on the mask connect with the settings on your computer screen, and after a few blinking moments, you‘ll have a tailored sleeping mask.
The Remee was co-founded by Steve McGuigan and Duncan Frazier of BitBanger Labs. They started a Kickstarter campaign in April of 2012. Their target was to reach $35 000 to produce 300 masks. However, it seems a lot of people would want to control their dreams, as they made a staggering $600 000 on Kickstarter.
Besides the fact that Remee could help you meet the Queen in your dreams, it could also aid people who suffer from chronic nightmares or insomnia.
Remee retails for $95 – or approximately R1000.
So, if you would like to literally live out your dreams (within a dream), Remee might be the answer.
