Recording your dreams while you sleep

lcrcboy

So the last few nights I have had some vivid dreams and it got me thinking if it was possible would you buy into teconolgy that would allow you to record and watch you dreams the next day or would it just freak you out to much,
does anyone know if their has been any research cunducted in this area??

If there's anything more boring than having to listen to someone tell you about your dream it's having to sit and watch somebody's dream.

I for one object strongly to your proposed technology.


Unless of course it can do it in 3D because, as we all know, 3D makes everything interesting.

brummytom

Yeah, I'd buy it. I hate that I can never remember my dreams

Depends on whether they could cut out the boring bits.
I certainly don't want to have to sit through 7 hours of crap just to get 15 minutes of the good stuff.

Yea, I'd definitely buy a dream recording machine! I often thought about that!:D

I woke up this morning with that "I know i had a dream but i cant remember what it was" feeling. I really wanted to remember it..

So yes, i'd buy it

I'd do it, so long as it would automatically filter out the white noise between dreams. If only 20% of your time is spent sleeping, then I don't want to be fast forwarding through the other 80%. I'd also want to be able to password protect the recordings - you wouldn't want the other half getting insulted because you spent more time dreaming of Brad Pitt than of him

If it could also record those "falling asleep" thoughts (must remember to put that letter in my handbag in the morning) and then play them back to you as soon as you wake up, that would be great.

Mind o scope. Don't know about that one, it's all down to whether the insane garbled crap that your subconcious tries to sort out is recordable. Prolly best that it isn't, sometimes.

Just learn to lucid dream, its your own mini nonsensical movie.

I wish i could record my dreams so i could rewind them.
I was 100% Sure I was down for Jan over on the Cooking Club form. When I looked today Its seems I am not.
I am beginning to think i had a dream one night that I was down for next Jan. If i could record my Dreams i could rewind and find the answer. I could always ask them over in the cooking form but I am a bit embarrassed to let them know I might be a bit dizzy.
You might have a winner there!

lcrcboy

if they made tecnolgoy to record dreams then it might become possible to record day dreams aswell would be funny to watch on a screen what situations you could put yourself in

Mrmoe

I think they are on the way to developing this. I think it would be really cool especially when you have an amazing dream, I oftened wanted to go back and relive/redream it. It could be very useful.

The scientists were able to reconstruct various images viewed by a person by analyzing changes in their cerebral blood flow. Using a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) machine, the researchers first mapped the blood flow changes that occurred in the cerebral visual cortex as subjects viewed various images held in front of their eyes. Subjects were shown 400 random 10 x 10 pixel black-and-white images for a period of 12 seconds each. While the fMRI machine monitored the changes in brain activity, a computer crunched the data and learned to associate the various changes in brain activity with the different image designs. Then, when the test subjects were shown a completely new set of images, such as the letters N-E-U-R-O-N, the system was able to reconstruct and display what the test subjects were viewing based solely on their brain activity.

Brainstorm

No way!

I can picture it now. You buy one of these dream-recording machines and before long you've passed many enjoyable hours watching your nocturnal thought patterns play themselves out for your amusement and scrutinisation

However one evening you're sitting there in your now usual habit of (trousers around your ankles) watching the recording last nights highlights featuring the cute blonde from the office when suddenly and email alert pops up in your laptop inbox. It informs you that an ALL-NEW dream-recorder is hitting shelves next week ... and listen to this ... it records IN COLOUR! Suddenly your old black and white dream-recorder and b&w recordings library that you’ve been collecting & maintaining for the last 5 years isn't good enough anymore despite the fact that you were perfectly happy with it up to this point!

So you pull up your trousers, dump all your old recordings into the nearest bin and head into town and shell out a months pay the new colour machine. But it doesn't stop there! Before you know it there’s a high-def dream-recorder in stores and another while after that they 3d-recorder hits the shelves. It becomes a never-ending cycle. It feels likes you’re living and working solely to finance your addiction to gadgets and shelf after shelf of neatly organised viewing material.

So I say NO! Stop it now and don't let your dreams become a nightmare :mad:

I have dream of reading a good thread.

OutlawPete

In the movie Strange days (1995) memories are bought and sold and can be inserted into people's brains so they can relive the experience over and over.

The best scene is were Ralph Pheines character misses his girlfriend Juliette Lewis and this one scene he replays where she comes in from Rollar Skating and well .. oh yeah

I have a linky but can't post it here .. hard luck
