Introducing the Hypniaverse: dreammaxxing is in
Ethereal Moon introduces the Hypnia-verse, the dream universe co-created by Melody Bossan (LeMoon) and Dina Lockamy (Ethereal Gwirl), with a launch video: sleepmaxxing is out, dreammaxxing is in.
At its heart is Lune Hypnia, a sleep mask that loads "programs" into the lucid dreams of whoever wears it: violin lessons, mental vacations, fables for children. Any story can become a program. The headset comes from the film Altered State, in which Moncleer finds his way into Obernia, a dream world, and ends up asking to be banished from it. The Meridian Institute used what it learned from his journey to build the mask.
There is also a children's version, Hypnia Petit, which plays the Tellington Tales: stop-motion fables in which Dr. Tellington, a pipe-smoking blue slug, teaches lessons to children while they sleep. The children in the stories are the sleeping children themselves. The tone is dreamlike and funny, with a creepy edge underneath.
