Neurotech startup Prophetic AI is pioneering a novel way for individuals to access the world of dreams by leveraging advancements in neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI). By developing a non-invasive neural device, the company aims to induce and stabilize lucid dreams, where dreamers become aware that they are dreaming as they experience it. Prophetic AI’s goal is to unlock the prophetic knowledge, wisdom, and interface that historical figures like Abraham, Mohammed, and Buddha received from dreams, and make anyone a prophet in their own right.
The Halo, a crown-shaped device designed to be worn on the head, is central to Prophetic AI’s work. Unlike traditional electrode methods, the Halo employs ultrasound technology to target specific brain regions more precisely. Skeptics may question the reliability of using technology to induce lucid dreaming, but Prophetic AI aims to push boundaries and embrace the unexpected. The company uses generative AI to translate dream data, acting as a medium and transforming the neural signals into words and sentences.
Although the release of the Halo headsets is slated for late 2025, individuals interested in the technology can reserve a Halo for $100 on the Prophetic AI website. This approach allows the company to create an order book and potentially partner with a tier one manufacturer such as Foxconn. Prophetic AI’s reservations system ensures that the money is held in escrow until the Halos are released, with the $100 credit applied towards the final price of the device. Despite concerns related to data security in AI development, Prophetic AI emphasizes their commitment to safeguarding user data.
While lucid dreaming offers benefits such as personal insights, problem-solving, and dream resolution, continuous lucid dreaming may disrupt sleep patterns and impact the mental health of individuals dealing with PTSD and nightmares, according to the Sleep Foundation. Nonetheless, Prophetic AI remains steadfast in its mission, believing that the sharing of consciousness and the exploration of dreams can significantly advance the field of consciousness research.
