i love it when i dream about computers… normally i can manipulate the image displayed on a screen just by thinking about it… sometimes i can think up a complicated interface/desktop environment and marvel in its glory once it’s been displayed

[...] Join Tom and Scott as they discuss this: I was watching the Nova episode called What Are Dreams the other day, and I was particularly interested in one bit of information from the show: if you practice enough, you can tell your brain what to dream about. There are some caveats, in that it only works about 50% of the time, and that you’re still not in total control of what happens. [...]

Have you seen the movie “The Good Night”? If not, you might find it interesting. I don’t like spoiling movies for people, but I will say that a major part of the plot involves “lucid dreaming”.

Back when I used to drink heavily, the following morning, I would fade into and out of sleep. I would remember what my (usually very crazy) dream was about, think of some ideas to take back into the dream. It was really fun. One example is that aliens had attacked and occupied. They hadn’t caught me or some other rebels yet. I woke up and thought that I had seen a movie that used high frequencies to kill aliens. I went back into the dream and tried that. Unfortunately it only killed the giant turtles they were riding on.

I had a dream last night where I figured out that Pac Man should really be called the Ghosts of Star Wars. The theory was that the ghosts are the souls of the R2 astromech droids whom were destroyed in the attack of the death star (the first one). They are trying to find their way out of the maze of corridors in the destroyed death star which is orbiting Yavin. Pac Man is a pan-dimensional being that devours souls, he is scouring the corridors for portals (the large dots) so that he can cross over to a different dimension and eat the R2 souls.

I dream regularly. Most of my dreams have either exotic/alien worlds or I find myself in a thrilling situation or I find closure. After I wake up I wonder if I could recreate the world I was in my dreams using 3D animation. Too bad, I only have developer skills.

Sometimes, the dreams I get are so interesting that after I wake up I make a log of the dream in a document file.

Also, dream hacking to some extent works and I can tell you that from my personal experience.

Hi,
I just discovered you, interesting post.
I came across this subject of “Lucid dreams” 4 years ago, don’t remember how. But there is a site on the subject called Lucid dreams for all.
http://www.ld4all.com
The site has probably developed a bit since then. But it’s interesting reading and very handy tips and tricks. The trick is to be able to recognize when you dream and not. Best is to write down your dreams every morning and soon, you’ll be able to tell in your sleep when you are dreaming. This way you can, fly, have an affair with the guy at the office (it’s possible to get off!), prepare for nervous meetings, ask yourself for advice or (as professional ahtletes do) test new techniques. They do improve this way! Good luck! /Sweden

Funny Veronica, you mention ice cream = nightmares, and with me it’s pickles – somebody pregnant? Seriously, if I eat one pickle and go to bed my sigoth always has to wake me from some frightmare. Recently I jolted awake and swung a punch at some dream intruder and nearly hit her. (And no, we really do get along great.) I tend to have recurring items of focus in my dreams so I have a iPhone check list and just check off that night’s dream objects when I wake and remember them. Pretty cool to watch patterns emerge…

I have noticed that in an instant, I can have a dream that has a past, present, and future that far surpasses the time possible to construct it. I have had a hard time trying to comprehend this until I saw “What the Bleep Do We Know?” and the bubles with parallel “observers” was the best representation of this. I tried for years to control where I went, which bubble to choose, it was not visual mind you but more like essences (still have a hard time trying to represent this( it’s like a smell on the wind that brings back a childhood memory long thought forgotten or emotionaly intense deja-vu)). Veronica, Have you had a deja-vu so intense that you paused because you feel like you forgot something that you needed to do differently?

The Sherlock Holmes trailer is fun. Looks like a great mix of action and humor. Robert Downey is a very fine actor, too. The scene with him naked and handcuffed to the bed with only a pillow on his lap and the key to the cuffs under the pillow. Who is going to get the key for him? Looks like fun.

One time in a dream, I realized I was dreaming because I saw a magnolia tree with a strange kind of flower.
I tried to force something in the dream, I do not remember exactly what, because I was told that you can control lucid dreams. I was happy of having one.
However then I “woke up” in my dream. I dreamed about the bed, the bedroom, and the house, but couldn’t realize I was still sleeping in reality.. hahahaha, until I really woke up.

That’s weird that no one had done this before, I’ve done it subconsciously for years, ever since I can remember really. I didn’t even think to not do it. I still remember most of my dreams pretty fully when I awake. It really is fun when you control your dreams and make them about something you are really interested in the time. It’s really easy once you do it, but you have to be in a light enough sleep to realize your dreaming.

That is pretty awesome. I will give this a try. It’s also worth noting that it’s possible to affect other people’s dreams (though it doesn’t work every time) by talking in their ear while they’re asleep.
Once I repeatedly said things like “look out for the dinosaurs” and “there’s dinosaurs over there” to my brother while he was asleep, then the next day I asked him what he dreamed about. His answer: dinosaurs.

Be carefull. One of the finalising factors to closing mk80 chemical research was a seperate branch of the research that dug into dream research and electronic signals artificialy induced synapses. Try and remember this… within the next week you will dream about me. When you do, it was NOT with the assitance of your mobile signal. I dont beleive in artificial stimulation. You might say, I beleive in staring at goats. Simular to what is happening to the software industry, the NSA, CIA, FBI, have been going through a transition that invites abuse. Where a programmer wants people to see his work, and get paid, the company wants the rootkit, spyware, and espionage… unofficially ofcourse. Back to your subject, the monarch programming was “unreliable” with artificial tools but very successfull when using “the old ways”, dream couching. So when you have that dream I mentioned, remember Queensriche and Silent Lucidity.
