So will people pay to have Nicolas Cage in their dreams, or will they pay to not have him in their dreams?

Jordan117 ,

Tbh, if it were possible to record dreams or reliably trigger vivid lucid dreams, that could be one of the most significant breakthroughs in the history of art, recreation, and psychology. The fact that some startup is trying to grift on the idea with IoT/gig economy bullshit doesn’t change that.

Oh, so they can’t get autonomous driving to work, thus the next step is to get people who are sleeping to steer the cars remotely

Opisek ,

But do I get paid for that?

krysel ,

Barely

They’re going to ender’s game you. It’ll be pitched as a game or training and it’ll come out it was real cars

Opisek ,

I will totally abide by all traffic rules when playing a virtual reality driving game in my sleep. Nothing can go wrong there.

boonhet ,

I saw the tagline and thought it meant that REM sleep is the next big thing people invest in because sleep is good for your health so they’re selling solutions to boost your sleep quality

Boy was I wrong

These guys are so behind the curve. I’ve already interacted with Dream worlds countless times using this little-known hack called “dreaming.” Look it up, you won’t be disappointed.

MonkderVierte ,

Nah, that’s “lucid dreaming”. Children do that often and generally unlearn it while growing up. Grownups usually forget what they dreamt and have no influence on the dream. But ld can be trained.

tias ,

This has to be a joke

Thrife ,

Oh nice, I can control my smart home by dreams?

Me: *sleeps Coffee machine starts making coffee. Me: *sleeps

Can’t wait!

I guess people with mind blindness or blurry minds will be fucked out of luck on this tech, huh?

Aphantasic here. We still dream. It’s all about whether you’re a visualizer or a conceptualizer, we’re not brain damaged.

I mean, I know it doesn’t mean you’re brain damaged. I just am bad at visualizing things in my own head. I’m like at a number 3 here myself.

So I wouldn’t think external technology would suddenly make your brain better at internal visualization. Like, I am really great at abstractions in my head for things that don’t really have visual components. On the flip side, when I’ve had lucid dreams, the scenery and people are always wavy and indistinct. I really just meant this technology sounds bogus because it can’t make our brains better at visualizing physical things.

Please forgive me if it sounded like I meant I thought people experiencing aphantasia were brain damaged, they most certainly are not.

What if your feet are glued to the floor? And no matter which way you set it, it keeps getting hotter? Then you start floating while a shadowy figure sits on your chest as you're unable to move and scream a silent scream...

conciselyverbose ,

They know that sleep isn’t wasted time, right?

Your brain uses sleep and dreams to integrate memories and learning.
