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

Hank_Jones

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.

Oh SHI-
They get to you while you sleep now.

the worst thing I could see coming from it is big coperations taking advantge of this

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.

Just like Futurama

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.

i'd buy it and record and distribute them as porn movies with hot famous men

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:

slight over exaggeration there its like watching TV you do have the option to get up and do another activity

Whyno

My dreams are priceless but i can deffo say that if your a rock climber you really wouldnt want to see any of my dreams


3d dream recording machine FTW

OutlawPete

I'd love one.

I had the best dream ever the other night, last for hours, cheese induced as usual.

I met Cheryl Cole and she fell in love with me .. :cool:

All night I was telling her she had the greatest ar*e and well things just got so xrated.

Best dream ever, I hated waking up

we'llallhavetea_old

i had a dream i met jesse hughes (eodm) and he was trying to get me to sleep with him, i kept on saying "i'm not sex ready". WTF????? conscious we'llallhavetea was seriously pissed at subconscious we'llallhavetea for days.

Duggy747

Boy oh boy, I'd so buy this equipment. Think up of crazy shìt and edit it down to create the greatest action movie ever with Arnie, Sly, Willis, Norris, Seagal, Van Damme, and Bruce Lee as the MAIN leads.

Plus creating your porn will probably the highlight of this....................Organic Porn?

I'd talk to the BFG if I were you.

bigeasyeah

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

I went through a period where I had like 3 or 4 of those in only a week or so.
Was fairly trippy, never lasted too long, but waking up was really weird, I could just feel (and see) everything fade away.

Other than that my dreams are super boring.
The other night I dreamt that I was getting a lift to Cavan with a stranger but I got freaked out thinking that he was actually going to Carlow instead.

opinion guy

Ah why bother.

Just watch some vintage Monthy Python for some surreal laughs instead

Scientists have discovered how to “read” minds by scanning brain activity and reproducing images of what people are seeing — or even remembering.

Researchers have been able to convert into crude video footage the brain activity stimulated by what a person is watching or recalling.

The breakthrough raises the prospect of significant benefits, such as allowing people who are unable to move or speak to communicate via visualisation of their thoughts; recording people’s dreams; or allowing police to identify criminals by recalling the memories of a witness.

However, it could also herald a new Big Brother era, similar to that envisaged in the Hollywood film Minority Report, in which an individual’s private thoughts can be readily accessed by the authorities.

Earlier this year, Jack Gallant and Thomas Naselaris, two neurologists from the University of California, Berkeley, managed to 'decode' static images seen by the person from activity in the brain's visual cortex. Last week Gallant and Shinji Nishimoto - another neurologist - went one step further by revealing that it is possible to decode signals generated in the brain by moving scenes.

In an experiment which has yet to be peer reviewed, Gallant and Nishimoto, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology, scanned the brains of two patients as they watched videos.

A computer programme was used to search for links between the configuration of shapes, colours and movements in the videos, and patterns of activity in the patients’ visual cortex.

It was later fed more than 200 days’ worth of YouTube internet clips and asked to predict which areas of the brain the clips would stimulate if people were watching them.

Finally, the software was used to monitor the two patients’ brains as they watched a new film and to reproduce what they were seeing based on their neural activity alone.

Remarkably, the computer programme was able to display continuous footage of the films they were watching — albeit with blurred images.

In one scene which featured the actor Steve Martin wearing a white shirt, the software recreated his rough shape and white torso but missed other details, such as his facial features.

Another scene, showing a plane flying towards the camera against a city skyline, was less successfully reproduced. The computer recreated the image of the skyline but omitted the plane altogether.

“Some scenes decode better than others,” said Gallant. “We can decode talking heads really well. But a camera panning quickly across a scene confuses the algorithm.

“You can use a device like this to do some pretty cool things. At the moment when you see something and want to describe it to someone you have to use words or draw it and it doesn’t work very well.

“You could use this technology to transmit the image to someone. It might be useful for artists or to allow you to recover an eyewitness’s memory of a crime.”

Such technology may not be confined to the here and now. Scientists at University College London have conducted separate tests that detect, with an accuracy of about 50%, memories recalled by patients.

The discoveries come amid a flurry of developments in the field of brain science. Researchers have also used scanning technology to measure academic ability, detect early signs of Alzheimer’s and other degenerative conditions, and even predict the decision a person is about to make before they are conscious of making it.

Such developments may have controversial ramifications. In Britain, fMRI scanning technology has been sold to multinational companies, such as Unilever and McDonald’s, enabling them to see how we subconsciously react to brands.

In America, security agencies are researching the use of brain scanners for interrogating prisoners, and Lockheed Martin, the US defence contractor, is reported to have studied the possibility of scanning brains at a distance.

This would allow an individual’s thoughts and anxieties to be examined without their knowledge in sensitive locations such as airports.

Russell Foster, a neuroscientist at Oxford University, said rapid advances in the field were throwing up ethical dilemmas.

“It’s absolutely critical for scientists to inform the public about what we are doing so they can engage in the debate about how this knowledge should be used,” he said.

“It’s the age-old problem: knowledge is power and it can be used for both good and evil.”

Write them down as soon as you wake up OP, I think that's the only thing you can do :P

Nah..no interest really....I can download pron from the net anyway
