    Yeah . I could then bring it to a therapist

    Nah. I don't think they'd be remotely interesting enough.

    Absolutely.

    But I'd watch alone. Most definitely alone.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Nope. No Black Mirror type brain implants please.

    Not at all. Random images and sensations that bear no resemblance to reality? No. I have enough solid happy real memories, without watching fiction.

    Sounds like a good idea


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭mad muffin


    No need. Because most of my dreams are nightmares… I remember them all.

    I’d have to say no, I really don’t have any wish to watch my dreams back, let alone have a chip inserted in my head.

    I might consider having a chip inserted in my head that would do something useful though, like improving my visual acuity for example.

    How much memory would a dream take up in on a device?

    I'd say the memory is limitless

    I've never once remembered a dream in my life, so it would be pretty boring viewing.

    Eat a small piece of cheddar cheese just before bed and you will remember it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,372 ✭✭✭✭branie2


    Or try sleeping on your front

    I'm OK with not remembering dreams tbh, I don't know any different so it doesn' bother me. I read a while back about a condition called aphantasia, where people can't visualise things. I'm pretty sure I have that as I can't picture things in my mind at all, and I'm awful at remembering faces, which is part of it. I'm guessing the dreams thing is part of it.

    No the nightmare I live is enough to see

    Are you recording in 4K?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,371 ✭✭✭Ubbquittious


    Sure why not. They might provide some inspiration and ideas that can be applied to real life
