Dormio (the device for assessment of a status of the person in a dream)

2020: Use for "cracking" of dreams

In the middle of April, 2020 the Dream Lab command from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology told how it learned "vzvlamyvat" dreams using sounds and smells.

The researches Dream Lab are devoted to a gipnagogiya — a status, similar to a dream, to balance between consciousness and subconsciousness which we enter, passing from wakefulness for sleeping. Researchers are sure that influencing people in a gipnagoniya status using sounds and aromas, they are capable to improve their life in a wakefulness status.

People do not know that a third of life which they carry out in a dream is that third where they can change, study or improve themselves — the researcher of Dream Lab Adam Horowitz claims. — Memory improvement, activation of creative approach, good mood or performance improvement - all this can be received at night, in a dream.

The central element of laboratory is Dormio, the device in the form of gloves equipped with sensors which control the movements of muscles, the heart rate and conductivity of skin to estimate a condition of the person in a dream. When the examinee enters a gipnagogichesky stage, Dormio loses the sound hint, and then writes the answer.

Tests proved that sounds influence human dreams. For example, when the device reproduced the word "tiger", participants dreamed cats and tigers. Researchers found out that signals can improve performance of examinees who were given later creative tasks.

Other Dream Lab tool adds the aromas connected with certain memoirs. Researchers believe that such technique can mitigate traumatic memoirs, adding "positive" smells to nightmares.

It is possible to undergo treatment, even without being completely in consciousness — the researcher of Dream Lab Judith Amores explained.[1]
