PROJECT PROFILE
The Sleepwalker Protocol
Playable Build
The Sleepwalker Protocol helps you train lucid-dreaming habits by making reality checks and dream signs part of a rewarding game loop. It plays like a roguelike, but the real target is awareness outside the app.
Dream loop gameplay
Inside a full-screen game session, you move through dream layers, fight symbolic enemies, and level up with reality-check themed tools like hand checks, clock glances, and text scans. Dream-sign enemies such as broken clocks, mirror walkers, and shadow figures drop XP and push progression.
As the lucidity meter fills, you enter a stronger Lucid state with increased tempo and recovery. If you wake up, your run resets but your build path carries forward, so each session stays meaningful.
Modes and systems
- Pre-Sleep mode with gentler pacing, lighter spawn pressure, and a soft session close.
- Subliminal prompts during play: question reality, check your hands, notice dream signs.
- Layer-reactive ambience and binaural-style tones tuned for focus and wind-down.
- Dream Journal entries with clarity, mood, lucid yes/no, and sign tagging.
- Stats for lucid rate, clarity averages, streaks, and top recurring dream signs.
- Reminder controls for reality checks and morning dream recall.
- No ads, no in-app purchases, and no account requirement.
Why this design works
The core idea is transfer: if "question reality" and "spot dream signs" become automatic in a game, those same cues are more likely to show up in sleep. The app makes repetition enjoyable, not clinical.
You get one connected protocol: gameplay for conditioning, journaling for recall, and reminders for consistency. Short, repeatable sessions keep friction low so practice can happen daily.
