The first goal was to determine whether Dormio can actually identify the beginning of the dream phase and control the dream content during hypnagogy using verbal cues. The results showed that the system can actually successfully manage dreams: for example, when subjects were asked to think about a tree before and during the transition to sleep, trees were in 67% of the collected dreams. While in the reports of the control group, which did not use “Dormio”, they were almost not mentioned.
According to scientists, this method is able to manage dreams and become an effective tool for educating, supporting creativity and solving problems. This is not surprising, given that the work of Salvador Dali and Mary Shelley was inspired by their dreams. The difference is that Dormio can specifically trigger these creative dreams.
