As you get ready to go to sleep tonight, think about what you want to dream about.
With new technology it just might be possible to dream that dream, and even control the action as a dream master.
“You think of a purple cow, you turn a corner, and there’s a purple cow,” dream expert Thomas Piesel explained.
As CBS2’s Kristine Johnson reported, Piesel uses a new type of sleep mask to conjure imagery in his dreams.
“Anything we can imagine we experience directly,” he said.
It uses a programmable light pattern designed to turn on when you’re in a semi-wakeful state to control what you see and do in your dreams. It’s called ‘lucid dreaming.’
“You can walk through walls, you can even talk to the dream itself,” he said.
Piesel has written about dreams and has volumes of dream journals. Now, he’s added a technology to his dream control arsenal.
“It’s a sleep mask designed to allow people to enhance their dreams to have better dream recall, have more vivid dreams,” dream mask developer Duncan Frazier said.
Frazier and Steve McGuigan developed the dream mask called Remee. They said the sleeping mind can recognize the color and brightness of the embedded lights, allowing the wearer to be more conscious of their dreams.
“We’re kind of pinging your waking mind with these patterns so at the very least you’re getting a little more attention to your dreams,” Frazier said.
Sleep expert Dr. Daniel Erichsen said this is illustrated in these brainwave patterns where there is little difference in a sleeping and waking mind.
“Lucid dreams are an overlapping state between sleep and wakefulness,” Dr. Erichsen said, “Dream sleep which you see here is very similar to wakefulness.”
He’s not convinced that light patterns will affect the lucid dreaming state.
“There’s no harm in it, but there’s no evidence that it works,” he said.
The developers and Piesel all claim that understanding and controlling dreams can help address issues with creativity, personal problems, even confronting nightmares.
“A good dream can actually carry you through a day. You have a terrible nightmare and you wake up and you ruined your entire day,” McGuigan said.
Dream experts said the way to confront nightmares is head on, to be bigger and bolder in your dreams, and take control.
If you need a dream mask to help you get there it will cost you about $100.

Sounds fucking stupid to be honest

suPOOr power by 2020

This would cause you not to go into deep rem sleep and would be detrimental to your health.

>if you think of a purple cow, there's a purple cow
Seems like this could backfire pretty badly. If you think of being in a room filled with giant spiders, then you'd be in a room filled with giant spiders, right?
Ian Jackson
the applications are infinite
I'd use it for porn
Carson Cooper
What's your reasoning for that?
If anything the light patterns will only stimulate the eyes further.
Evan Rivera
Will you give me funding if I help your country become a super power before 2020 ?
Hudson Thomas
These have been around since at least the 90s. There are even apps that try to do this.
William Rivera
Lucid dreaming requires you to be not fully asleep and unconscious. Your brain needs to be fully unconscious to recover from the day.
Hunter Garcia
Better served taking steps to improve lucid dreaming. This sounds like a typical tech gadget scam.
I'd suggest redirecting your efforts on curtailing fecal squalor patterns of living.
Nolan Nelson
Now we won't be virgins in our dreams.

Adam Powell

Thomas Jenkins
>Never had a wet dream before >The other week have a hot dream >Wake up and feels wet >Realize what it is
Would not recommend, it's the worst feeling, though it does make me want to start try watching porn without touching myself.

>new masks
This shit was sold in sharper edge back in 1993, when I was in 5th grade.
I'm the 1990s these things were in every "sky mall" catalogue when you got on a plane.
All this shit does is halfway wake you up when you're trying to sleep. Terrible rest.
Ryan Campbell
Typically rem sleep occurs before dream sleep dickfuck. You have dreams as you are coming out of rem sleep
Caleb Anderson
No the picture is not from the article
Luis Allen
This is defunct 1990s technology friend. They're just trying to sell it again, cause the dum dums who bought it last time are old now.
Charles Davis
Oh please. I already do this with LSD.
Brody Cooper
so i get to shoot guns all day and now when i sleep too? fuckin' awesome
Evan Cook
>Lucid Dreaming >Not unlocking the secrets of your mind through Tulpamancy
There's really not that much of a difference between perfect visualization while meditating and lucid dreaming.
Wyatt Morgan
Fucks want to steal my dream information.
Connor Parker

Daniel Flores
>new technology This is literally at least 10 years old. I even met the inventor at a local hackerspace.
William Watson
This is bad for mental health.

No thanks Dr. Shekelenburg
Henry Johnson
Yep. I remember when I first got internet seeing a webpage for these types of masks for hundreds of dollars.
Dominic Taylor

Robert Watson
>tfw when they program ads into your dreams
Lincoln Roberts
inb4 jews figure out how to put ads in your dream.
Bentley Williams
I hope Ariana Grande enjoys lots and lots of anal.

>JUST DON'T THINK ABOUT KANYE WEST BRO OR THE DEVICE WON'T WORK
Brandon Williams
There was a lucid dream device for men, looked it up after seeing this thread and learned that it went unsuccessful
this is old as fuck and you are only crippling your ability to achieve lucid dreams independently if you use aids like this it's money-grabbing bs you can learn lucid dreaming and master dream controll for free on the internet sites like dreamviews or even /x/'s LD threads
Aiden Adams
if only we had given one of these to Dr. King, maybe he would have realized what his dream actually meant
Tyler Ross
Source pisscritter.
Ethan Barnes
if only it could become reality. a bunch of qt spiders who worship the cock.
Charles Evans
dreaming occurs during rem phase rem stands for rapid eye movement, that's when your eyes copy the eyes of your dream body
