How it works?
It detects your brainwaves to know whether you’re asleep and stimulate your brain into lucid dreaming. And to top it off, if you’re wondering if you will wake up from the cues, fret not. iBand seems like they have got it covered with verbal and visual cues. (see video below)

The hardware involved seems one too many.
There’s also more hardware for the pillow that you can get with this band. All these seems believable that this device(s) could help bring about some health benefits such as waking up feeling more refreshed or aiding as a stress reliever. But aside from all the technicalities are more underlying factors to consider. Dreams, for that matter, lucid dreams aren’t that safe and not everyone can take it.
One of the best perks of lucid dreams can also be one of the worst pitfalls: realistic feelings. The lucid dream state can offer euphoric feelings of sight, motion, happiness, and even sex, but that means feelings on the other side of the spectrum can happen as well. Fear, sadness, and pain are all possible in a lucid dream too. That said, negative feelings like that are still more likely to occur in the waking state since, unlike the dream state, you have less control over the world. And no, you don’t die in real life if you die in a dream. Trust me, I’ve died many times in my dreams.
Patrick Allan, The Benefits and Risks of Lucid Dreaming
For one to undergo lucid dreaming “safely” is to be mentally sound, but even then, how do you ascertain one’s mental state? The greatest danger posed would be that an individual will constantly want to remain in their dreams and not wake up despite the cues created for iBand.
What this device is, is one that helps induce lucid dreaming but not cater to the actual health benefits. Rather, it is the mental ability and state of mind of the being who is able to steer towards “healthier” living. Is iBand all that good? Maybe I should try it out first.
