Dream:ON is the app to influence your dreams. Research has shown that most of our dreams occur during REM Sleep, and also that your mind is particularly alert to other senses during this stage of sleep.

There are already a number of apps and devices that track your sleep patterns in order to wake you up at the appropriate time in your cycle. Apparently, you get up feeling more refreshed.
An app developed by mobile development agency YUZA and Prof. Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire, U.K. and announced at the Edinburgh International Science Festival is intended to take the concept a step further by using a smartphone to shape peoples’ dreams. The idea is that they choose one of several soundscapes available through the free iPhone app Dream:ON (an Android version is also expected), then leave the smartphone on the bedside cabinet, as Gizmag explains:
Gizmag: Volunteers needed to test dream-controlling appThroughout the night, the phone uses its microphone to monitor the user’s movements. Approximately 20 minutes before their selected wake-up time, and once a decrease in their movements indicates that they’ve entered REM sleep (the sleep stage at which dreams occur), the soundscape will be played. Theoretically, that audio will be incorporated into the existing dream…Once the person starts moving again, indicating that they are no longer dreaming, the alarm will sound to wake them…The app will subsequently prompt users to submit a report of their dream. After a few months, Wiseman and his team will review the various users’ reports, to see how well the app works.
