The Dream Recorder™

If It Was Invented, I Can't See What's Wrong With It. I Would Put My Dreams, Daydreams And Nightmares On My Laptop So I Can Save Them :D
But It's Not Invented Yet - Awwww..... v_V

Anywho....you all don't think this would be detrimental in some way? What if the dreams you don't remember have some type of intrinsic meaning? Also...the porn industry would probably skyrocket. I think this would change the way society would operate a bit more.

I dunno, I've never had a full fledged sex dream. Who wants porn that ends at foreplay? XD That's like... soft-softcore... light.

Now the horror movie/lit biz I think would skyrocket too with nightmares, night terrors, or seeing what people experience during sleep paralysis. Like someone mentioned, discovering what truly scares people is a powerful thing.

I think the government could use this in one way that's detrimental... imagine everyone is linked to this dream recorder, and the government views all our dreams. Anyone who dreams of weapons or nuclear bombs they consider "terrorist potential" and have you arrested, or anyone who dreams of murdering someone, they arrest, etc. Big Brother potential, this has (and... I just typed like Yoda speaks).

Oh, and dreams have amazingly little intrinsic meaning. Freud believed they are a link to your subconscious, and maybe they are. But for the most part, I feel most dreams are just your brain going through the 99 cent bin of your memories. Ever dream about the stupidest thing? Like, going to a clothing store and discovering they sell liverwurst? Try puttin' meaning on that. :P

WAIT DOES THIS RECORD LUCIDITY TOO? MAKING IT EASIER TO GET LUCID DREAMS FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T?

They actually do have that, if you're willing to shell out close to a thousand bucks, if I recall the price. It detects when you're in REM and flashes a light red light, which you can apparently see in your dream. This is meant to trigger your awareness that you're dreaming (so it does require some outside conditioning). I, personally, think its a crock of total BS, but hey, here it is:

People this is hypothetical. It's not real, lol (to those who believe it's real XD).

I was kinda thinking along the lines of:

Most people dream many dreams every night. The problem is, we usually don't remember them. So we may be having dreams we wouldn't want people to know about every single night and not even know it. If we were able to record them in a digital format, this would pose a problem, as we all know how permanent digital data can be. So the only permanent way of deleting said dream (short of various software for computers that I don't know the validity of) would be to destroy whatever was holding the video of the dream, thus wasting money.

But if problems like that could be overcome, then I do think it would be kind of neat to record your dreams, especially for people who like to interpret dreams. This would increase their accuracy quite a bit.
 
I have trouble remembering dreams so this idea appeals to me, though I see the potential downside.

It would be bad if it turned people into dream zombies the way television and the internet turn people in TV and net zombies. I can see a huge spike in youtube visitors as people upload their dreams for everyone to see, which could be dangerous in other ways. It could cause people to become more disconnected with reality, like how it's normal for lots of us to see violence on TV, even real violence on the news, and not really be moved by it. You'd eventually have someone kill someone else all while thinking it was a dream.

It would also be bad if someone got a hold of your dreams somehow. Dream hackers, or whatnot. That could be used to blackmail, bully, or just plain embarrass. There would be a big privacy issue. Or even a personal safety issue. Imagine if you were gay and hiding it from your ultra uptight religious family and your parents went snooping through your dreams. :x

And dreams can be frightening in deep, psychological ways and it might not be the best to have those to look at. Since they can be about your biggest insecurities they might reinforce someone's negative view of themselves, leading to lowered self-esteem and depression, or body issues like anorexia.
 
If they ever come out with those things, I'd just make sure my parents never get there hands on one of them. I'd be in SO much trouble.

As for who it CAN belong to... other then me will finally find out who the hell my friend likes, the government maybe? Don't see how it would help them much. I don't think someone could use that for evil, though, so I don't know...
 
Lol wow i had to create an invention in speech class and give a speech about it and i made a dream recorder.

I think it would be an amazing idea. I would guard the tapes/cds that have the dreams on them with my life because I have had some weird dreams about people.

i agree with this :D

i think it'd be cool, but ofc it could potential get out of hand and become dangerous

i would really wanna see dreams that i've had so i can see them more accurately and stuff like that, it'd be cool xD

also, it could help with psychological study. likee dreams that predict real things or like other stuff like that. if you catch my drift...
 
Woah!!! That's cool if that technology is ever invented then I could use it to read minds!! xD
 
I can't use it. I just cannot go to sleep knowing there's something foreign in my ear that can potentially hurt me when I toss and turn.

There are people whose dreams can predict the future. I wonder...
 
It would be like watching free porn if I watched my dreams, so I don't think it's a good idea at all. :[
 
Yes. Just yes. God. If this existed, I could make my self popular on Newgrounds, Because like Half of my dreams are Sprite battles.
 
I would rather other people not have the ability to know what I am thinking.
 
I know what i would use this for.


Dream [AGELIMIT]
Spoiler:

Use it
????
PROFIT!
 
This is all hypothetical stuff, but it seems a lot of people are saying they wouldn't want to do it because other people could view their dreams. Well, if it was stored on a DVD, that's all information stored on there, and that type of stuff could be encrypted.

So let's say you could encrypt it as soon as it gets recorded so only you can open it if you want.

Would you still do it, or would you not want to know what you dream about all the time?
 
What would have happened if your crush had a Dream Recorder and tries to test it in your dreams lol!!! She would have seen herself in your dreams naked. Man, that would be disaster!!!! xDDDDDDDDDDD

No. The bigger problem would be if she thought you had a crush on her but you didn't, then she looked at your dreams and she was naked. Then you'd have a problem. You don't have to actually fancy someone to have sexy dreams about them.

Or an even BIGGER problem would be if this crush was actually your GF, and she tested you to see if you were faithful, and you ended up dreaming about some other girl nekkid! :O

That would suck.....
