Tópico: Lucid Dream

[Fabulous]

Takara Co of Japan claims to have a machine that allows users to have the dreams they want - a dream factory.

According to the BBC, the dream workshop uses the following technologies to help users direct their dreams during periods of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep:

* voice recording
* photographs
* music
* odors.

Although still in the development phase, company officials claim at least partial success with their employees. For example, you might get the theme right, but the story-line was wrong.

When you think about it, this could be the breakthrough that companies have been looking for. Corporations have been able to monetize practically every part of the day (early morning coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, late night snacks... And media all the time. But there has always been that eight hours or so that can't be touched. Now we have a product that cracks that last great market - sleep!

Science fiction fans may recall the recent novel Starfish, in which Peter Watts talks about the lucid dreamer, a machine that helps people get the sweet dreams they want. Also, see the original article here. Scroll down for more stories in the same category. (Story submitted 1/15/2004)

I'm sure that if they ever perfect this new technology, it will be used to include advertisements.

Like Google ads, they will be programmed on the basis of the subject matter of your dream.

Google ADreams? No, thanks.

I heard something about this machine... It seems that it doesn't produce dreams, it play sounds in a very slow volume and some odors that often causes the person to not sleep.

Doesn't word at all..  just like the "Dog translator" from the same company

Too bad... It seems my idea for a company (LPD - "Lucid Porn Dreams") will have to wait for better technology to be
invented
