    I think that material interfacing with the human subconscious could and should work. I imagine potential applications could be for improving quality of sleep, inducing lucid dreaming, or possibly allowing for physical exercise while unconscious.

      I imagine potential applications

      You didn’t, or refuse to, imagine likely applications under the current economic system which include even more surveillance and data harvesting, economically coerced “optimization” where people that don’t use the technology are marginalized, and even more decay of overall quality of life because even sleep becomes an exploitable resource for the ruling class.
