What If-Recording Your Dreams

Post Reply New Topic

What if there were a device that you could connect up that would record your dreams so you could play them back like a movie in the morning? Would you be interested?

That'd be interesting but perhaps not something I'd want to share with others (the contents of my dreams not the technology.)

Definitely. Details about certain dreams can be hard to recall upon waking up. I only get fragments. Thankfully, those fragments that I do remember are still important and valuable. I'd just like there to be more background to those fragments.

Yes.

No.

I'm just paranoid enough to believe that such a system could be hacked, and that the contents of my dreams would be used against me.

No. I never try to remember my dreams. Some of them are kind of bad or just really weird.

That'll be cool. Except for the fact that it will have to go deep inside your brain during REM sleep. That won't feel comfortable.

This could be an interesting idea, however, I really do not want to recall some of the dreams I have had, once was enough. I just keep a journal and jot things down, then I write stories, I remember most of mine, though they can be to realistic.

No. It would be a very bad idea, as I occasionally develop things in my sleep that could be used for evil purposes. Nothing good could come from recording those ideas...

I remember most of my dreaming in the morning (except when rudely awoken by an alarm or similar). I have (in the past) drawn maps of the places I was in.

I you watched them back, they would make no sense. A cross between avant-garde, and a story a child would make up. I'll give an example: I was at a party and eating rice crispies out of a crisp (American "chips") packet and someone was trying to pinch some out of the packet. That was the plot. The whole thing was that. Would you watch that?

Plus people's dreams generally would be rated "not for all audiences" probably 10% of the time.

It would help settle the notion of deja reve, or precognitive dreams, astral projections, etc.

I could see it being used to make films.
