Prophetic is an American neurotechnology startup developing headbands for lucid dreams. Its Dual and Phase models are forehead worn products, with Phase adding brain sensing and automated adjustment overnight.

How it works
The headband sends low intensity ultrasound through the forehead toward the prefrontal cortex, a region linked with awareness. Phase also uses electrodes to detect electrical patterns from brain activity. Software is intended to identify relevant sleep states and adjust the ultrasound, with the goal of increasing awareness inside a dream.

Key considerations
The products are new and have not yet established through independent published studies that they can reliably induce lucid dreams. Consumer use of ultrasound for this purpose is unusual, and long term sleep effects remain unclear. Delivery timelines may change because the devices are still moving toward commercial release.
