Dream engineering is an emerging field within Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) that uses interactive systems to monitor sleep stages and deliver sensory stimuli to influence dream content for human well-being. Existing systems face two key limitations: 1) for sensing, the absence of deployable systems with laboratory-grade sleep staging capability creates a barrier to translating dream science...
