People spend one-third of their lives asleep. What if employees could work during that time … in their dreams?

Prophetic, a venture-backed startup founded earlier this year, wants to help workers do just that. Using a headpiece the company calls the “Halo,” Prophetic says consumers can induce a lucid dream state, which occurs when the person having a dream is aware they are sleeping. The goal is to give people control over their dreams, so they can use that time productively. A CEO could practice for an upcoming board meeting, an athlete could run through plays, a web designer could create new templates—“the limiting factor is your imagination,” founder and CEO Eric Wollberg told Fortune.

it may be faster to make your own tool than put in a ticket to your global support team and then the 20 meetings on documentation and validation asssuming they go it this year. Just for something you could have made yourself in a week. Request like add a pull down to the ordering form takes like a year and that's after 5 calls and a presentation on how this will improve global sales. So much frustrating.
