Japan invents the gadget of your dreams (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/3395505.stm)
A Japanese company has invented a product which, it says, allows owners to create their own dreams.
Prospective dreamers are asked to look at a photo of what they would like to dream about and then record a story line into the Yumemi Kobo, or "dream workshop".
The machine uses the voice recording, along with lights, music and smells, to help them direct their own dreams during periods of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, Takara Co said.
Sleepers are woken up gently after eight hours with music and lights that stimulate sunlight so that users of the gadget do not forget their dream in the shock of waking.
Takara Co, which brought the world the "bowlingual" and "meowlingual" devices - which purport to translate your pet's communication - admitted the machine may still need refining.
"We are still experimenting, mainly with company employees," Kenji Hattori, a Takara marketing executive, told reporters on Wednesday.
"Some said the theme was right, but the story-line was wrong. Some said the noise woke them up. But it has worked for quite a number of people."

if you're dreaming about me, i don't think night sweats would be the only thing you'd have to worry about. :wink:

It would get so abused ... people would 'programme' all kinds of ... um ... athletic activities to occur. They'd wake up more tired than when they went to sleep!
Imagine the 'fun' to be had if you had an argument with your partner that day ... just mutter blood blood blood into the machine before he went to bed, and watch him scream. Mwahaha!

My dream would be to live a day in some sort of fictional place ... I once had a dream where I was an evil black clad figure in LOTR, but I woke up when Aragorn ran a sword through me in that inn in the first film. That ... wasn't really fun.
It would probably have turned into a Frodo-molesting dream, given a chance. http://www.kirupa.com/forums/smileys_files/oink.gif

We shouldn't be controlling our dreams.
Dreams are thoughts that our subconcious needs to show or get rid of as far as I understand

Really, that's interesting.
Then why is it when I wake up suddenly from a dream about <*insert hot chick's name here*>, I desperately want to return to it?
A good sex dream might keep you in bed instead of up late at night searching for pr0n

Just last night I had a dream that I was in bed with two spanish girls, and then one of them made a drawing of a mongoose and a monkey holding a sign saying; "come Satan, come" and then the mongoose started to come out of the wall, I really wanted to wake up

Only two girls ? You must be really stressed out about something.

Now, see, if you could control that.
Those ladies would have been saying, "cum, Satan, cum!"
And you'd have waken up with wet pants, but at least you'd have been satisfied. {o!~}

gosh, this reminds me of that wetdream i had mentioned a while back involving a certain yw poster i dreamt about (but not voluntarily, not that she's ugly)
i wonder if this thing actually works, even if i did manage to get the "setting" of my dream right it'd probly get really wacked out along the way. say im on the beach with that girl i like so much. well of a sudden ill get attacked by a monster from halflife 2 or something, or someone i subconciously despise will come along and sex up my girl while i stand and watch (in a non-enjoyment kinda way) and ill be like "YTF cant i do anything?!?!?"

Only if Emperor_Mike gets his evil way as The Dream Master ... he'll make you look just like your avatar too ... if you're lucky. If he's in a bad mood, he'll make all the women in your dreams look like your avatar.

Don't know. I think the intent is to replace nightmares with fantasies of lust or grandeur.
