Dream Machines with Will Dowd [Patreon Preview]

About this episode

In this Patreon episode, I talk with Will Dowd, an author and poet who trained as a science writer at MIT, about the year he spent experimenting with Dormio. This MIT-developed device detects the moment you slip into hypnagogia, the in-between state at the edge of sleep, then plays a sound to influence your dream and wakes you before you forget it. After a genetic disorder took away his ability to read, Will used it every day for a year to experiment with dreaming and see what he could learn about this mysterious transitional state.
