Technology that may help control and create dreams
It’s the best form of virtual reality to be strapped on the Nova Dreamer when being ready for bed. It’s a reality in which you can do absolutely everything.
Flying is the most classic example when you realize you’re having a lucid① dream， you just take off and fly！
Realizing you’re in a lucid dream is the key when you do something in a dream， to the brain it’s as if you’re actually doing it.
Lucid dreaming simply means knowing that you’re dreaming while you’re sleeping. Think Nightmare on Elm Street， but in a good way.
Control your dreams
The NovaDreamer is a mask that senses when you drift into REM or deep sleep. The mask emits gentle lights and sounds to provide subconscious② cues that tell you you’re dreaming without waking you up.
If you’re able to pick up on those cues with the right training， anyone can do it─you’ll experience a lucid dream. You’ll actually be able to control what happens to you during the dream itself.
In ordinary dreams we don’t know it’s a dream until we wake up. And so we don’t know the opportunities available there. If you know it’s a dream， you can transcend③ the usual limitations.
The Nova Dreamer helps the budding④ lucid dreamer hone his or her skills. An accessory to the device is a port that can download information from the mask directly to a PC. The data includes how many REM episodes⑤ the user experienced during the night and at what times.
REM sleep is the key to lucid dreaming and people develop patterns for REM sleep. If you can pick up on those， he says， you can better coordinate⑥ when you might experience a lucid dream.
While sleeping you could be awake doing other things flying around， meeting Einstein or Gandhi， and so on. It’s a whole world that you create！

一台真正的梦机器
技术能够帮助控制和创造梦
睡觉时与新梦想家捆在一起是虚拟现实的最好方式。在这种现实中，可以几乎不受限制地做任何事情。”
飞翔是最典型的例子，当你意识到正做一个清晰的梦时，便开始起飞翱翔。
意识到是在清醒梦中是关键。当你在梦中做事情时，大脑感知好像是在现实中做的。简单说，清醒梦就是当你正酣睡时，你知道你在做梦。想想Elm大街上的噩梦，不过用一种安全的方式。
控制你的梦
新梦想家是一种意识到自己自然地快速眼动或深入睡眠的面罩。这种面罩能发出柔和光线和声音，提供下意识暗示，在不吵醒你的前提下，使你知道自己在做梦。
如果你能领悟那些暗示，只需适当的训练，任何人都可以经历一场清醒梦。事实上，你可以控制梦中发生的事。
在普通的梦中，我们只有醒后才知道它是梦。所以我们不清楚那里可利用的机会。如果你知道它是梦，就能超越一般局限。
新梦想家帮助训练早期清醒梦者的技能。这装置的一个附件是移植端对，能够直接从面罩下载信息导入电脑。信息包括用者在夜晚经历的快速眼动出现的次数以及出现的具体时间。
快速眼动睡眠是清醒梦的关键，人们会形成自己快速眼动睡眠的方。如果你能领悟那些，那当你经历一场清醒梦时，你就能更好地协调。这台梦机器就是使梦想实现。
睡着却能醒着做其它事情，四处飞翔，遇见爱因斯坦或甘地等等，这就是你创造的整个世界！
