PROJECTS: Dormio Dream Incubator
conscious, dreaming, for most of the night, and
our brain is still processing sound, sight, and
smell enough that each of these sensory inputs
can reliably alter people’s dreams.
Even cooler, what we dream about changes
how we think in the day. Our dream emotions
carry over into our daytime emotions. Dreaming
about something specific is tied to improved
memory of that thing in the morning. Dreams can
even augment creativity! That means dreams,
with the right interface to influence them in
targeted ways, can be a route to alter and improve
your thinking.
WHO: You! Anyone and everyone can be a dream
hacker. Even if you think you don’t remember
your dreams, this Dormio device will likely be a
blast. People who typically forget their dreams
can often remember them in hypnagogia.
Targeted dream incubation using Dormio is aimed
at this early sleep stage, at night or in daytime
naps, and wakes people directly during their
dreams, so we especially encourage you to try
this if you typically can’t remember dreams or you
think your dreams are boring. We bet you’ll find
some weird stuff in your head if you give it a go!
BUILD YOUR DORMIO DREAM
INCUBATOR
1. ORGANIZE YOUR PARTS
First things first. Make sure you have your PCB,
solder, soldering iron, flux pen, and electronic
components ready to go.Your Dormio V3 board
should look like Figure

.
I like to put a piece of double-sided tape on
the back of the PCB, just so it doesn’t shift while
being soldered. If you do, be sure to limit the time
the soldering tip touches the board or the tape
