1. A system for delivering audio content to a user during a dream state, the system comprising:

  • a head band configured to be worn on the head of the user and extend over at least the user'"'"'s forehead, the head band including a skin contacting flexible strip attached to and positioned on an interior surface of the headband,a plurality of electrodes positioned in a pattern on the flexible strip configured to make contact with the user'"'"'s skin and detect electrical signals of the user'"'"'s brain or head indicative of the dream state, the flexible strip configured to bend and flex with movement of the user'"'"'s head to maintain electrical contact between the electrodes and the user'"'"'s skin during head movement;

    logic resources operably coupled to the plurality of electrodes, the logic resource configured to analyze the electrical signals to determine when the dream state occurs;

    an audio storage device operably coupled to the logic resources;

    the storage device configured to store audio content to be delivered to the user; and

    an audio output device operably coupled to at least one of the logic resources or the audio output device, the audio output device configured to output an audio signal to the user containing the audio content, the audio output device having an integral structure with the head band; and
