The Dormio enables a limited shaping of the images that appear during sleep’s first stage.

The Dormio doesn’t exactly allow you to control your dreams-at least not the deep, late-sleep-phase dreams of flowing events, nameless anxieties, and sudden revelations. “Pretty cool,” says my father over dinner. That’s why it didn’t look the way a tree looks to humans. That’s why it didn’t look the way a tree looks from the outside. The tree was borrowing my vision and watching itself. Was that a tree? Was the dream incubation successful? I think about what I’d seen, about my hypnagogic encounter. Then I was inside, a long spiraling hollow opening above me. When they lit up, I began to move-moving into the central gap. Periodically the structure would light up from within, showing bones, like white teeth, with gaps. I remember the long thick line of a structure under a purplish absence of sky. This was a crude sketch of the images I’d experienced. I recall what I’d just been seeing, what I’d seen after I stopped thinking, what I’d seen when thought had turned wholly into image. My eyelids open to the blackness of the sleep mask. Above, where the sky should be, there’s nothing. The light is coming from inside the tree.

The branches extend as I watch them, the grooves of the bark deepen, glowing a little. If I can see it, I think, there must be light somewhere . . . I briefly consider asking him-he can hear me, he’s on the screen on my bedside table, if I took off these ridiculous eyeshades I’d see him-but I decide not to.īecause something odd is happening to the magnolia tree. But then I remember Adam telling me to just watch where my thoughts go, and I think, Adam’s a really laid-back guy, there’s no way he’d object to a magnolia tree. I wonder if maybe a magnolia isn’t the best tree to focus on-it’s a flowering tree, after all, a kind of hybrid between tree and flower. The nervous electricity in my legs seems to be fading. Pendulous pink blossoms, pale bark, spreading branches . . . What was that Wordsworth line about trees? “Of many, one.” One tree. Just trees in general? I can’t think about trees in general. I could tell him I’m seeing people turning into trees, I’m seeing tree people. Don’t ask yourself whether you’re asleep. A spark of nervous energy runs through my legs. I’m not going to be able to do this, I think.

The Dormio feels light on my hand, and I soon forget about it. This first time, Adam is manning the controls himself his is the voice reminding me to think about trees. You can also alter the parameters of awakening, which enables you to enter deeper or shallower levels of sleep. Dormio detects when you enter hypnagogia, waits a short period, then awakens you and prompts you to describe what you’re experiencing, and sends the recording to your hard drive. The device connects to a website where you can record a voice message to yourself-“think about trees”-that will play as you begin to fall asleep.

Adam envisions a time when the components of the Dormio will be widely available anyone will be able to download its blueprint and, with a few cheap premade circuits, construct her own dream incubator. It was developed by Adam and a team of professors and researchers at the MIT Media Lab to facilitate “dream incubation,” the shaping of dreams according to words or images chosen by the dreamer. Adam Haar Horowitz, who is running the experiment, speaks to me over Zoom, monitoring my somatic information. There’s a laptop on the bedside table the screen shows fluctuating green and red lines.

This will record the hypnic jerks and spastic opening-hand motions that signal my entry into hypnagogia, the first stage of sleep, where thoughts slip free of conscious control. A flexible length of plastic embedded with circuits stretches from my palm to the top of my middle finger. At the tip of my ring finger, a sensor measures my heart rate.
