The App That Programs Your Dreams

Recommended Posts

You guys ought to check this out!

 

(CNN) - Harvard PhD student Daniel Nadler is trying to bring a really rudimentary version of the movie "Inception" to life with a new iPhone app that aims to help you "program your dreams."

 

Called Sigmund, the 99-cent app builds off of pre-existing sleep science to help people "program" the content of their dreams from a list of 1,000 keywords. After you select one to five words from the list, a sorta-soothing, sorta-robotic female voice reads the words you select during the deepest moments of your sleep cycle - the REM cycles - when you're most likely to dream vividly. In a sleep study that was the basis for the app, 34% to 40% of participants' dreams were memorably altered by the suggestive readings, he said.

This will make nice tool for those who are disturbed and would prefer to have a pleasant dream. I wonder how well this really works and if people can influence your dreams, they how far is the iPhone from influencing your thought process. It seems free will sell soon at the cost of IPhone.
