Saru Posted April 10, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Professor Richard Wiseman is conducting a nationwide dream experiment using a special iPhone app. Professor Richard Wiseman, who claims to be the most followed psychologist on Twitter, hopes to sweeten people's dreams using their smartphones. The self-described "psychologist, author and magician" hopes to attract thousands of people to take part in the dream manipulation experiment. Read more...

King Fluffs Posted April 10, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'm now tempted to buy an I phone solely for this app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimentoid Posted April 10, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yeah, I'm all over this experiment. Sounds really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKO Posted April 10, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Sounds a lot better than the dreams I usually have. Most of mine are usually me at work, nothing weird about them just me working. Its so annoying dreaming about work then waking up to goto work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Sparrow_ Posted April 10, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 10, 2012 As I was reading this I was downloading the app. Can't wait to go to sleep tonight to try this! YES!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdealJustice Posted April 10, 2012 #7 Share Posted April 10, 2012 yeah, lets let someone else control out dreams. great logic, brainwashed masses -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Mii Posted April 10, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 10, 2012 yeah, lets let someone else control out dreams. great logic, brainwashed masses -.- Totally right! I can't imagine letting someone control my dreams that's a little freaky. I love my dreams they are too important to me. That is our subconscious communicating with us, processing and learning things that are important to our daily lives. I would not allow anyone to tamper with my dreams. They're mine!! lol You think there's going to be soundscapes, then you wake up in the middle of night to "Vote for Obama, Vote for Obama". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMark Posted April 10, 2012 #9 Share Posted April 10, 2012 We don't need an app to control our dreams. Doing it by your own would be, in my opinion, a lot more better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarifa Posted April 10, 2012 #10 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hmm, it wakes you up after you dream? That doesn't sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdealJustice Posted April 10, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Very good point Dharma! exactly what i was thinking. Same with Jay! There is a reason we all dream individually lol. Not only that, im just surprised at the amount of people that go running to jump on the bandwagons, the level of stupidity is actually amazing. I thought people would be smarter than, " yeah put your dreams in us" -.-, people willingly give into things like this, and willingly gave away rights aswell lol. its funny and ironic, or will be ironic in the not too distant future.

bLu3 de 3n3rgy Posted April 10, 2012 #12 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Right on. The blue pill or the red pill Nah really in all seriousness, using programs to alter my dreaming, no thanks. Edited April 10, 2012 by AnVil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paracelse Posted April 10, 2012 #13 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) So how do we hack Iphones again??? dream manipulations anyone? Is that an open door to weaponisation?

psychoticmike Posted April 10, 2012 #14 Share Posted April 10, 2012 thats nice, now they can access our subconcious better and program it more effectively. Yey for mind control!!! This is stupid, and very dangerous if you ask me. Letting others control what goes on in your mind while you are unconcious? really? And this is actually suposed to be a good thing? wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
human_eraser Posted April 11, 2012 #15 Share Posted April 11, 2012 This is like the sleep cycle alarm... no thanks. I don't want a phone emitting radiation right under my pillow the whole night... next thing you know you get brain cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Crane Feather Posted April 11, 2012 #16 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Sheesh, if I enhance my dreams anymore Ill end up in the looney bin. Really I don't think it matters, your subconcouse is going to do what it does any way. Soft walking sounds in the woods can be a plesent trip or something stalking behind you. It's going to depend on the person how it is inturpreted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah_444 Posted April 11, 2012 #18 Share Posted April 11, 2012 lol. dreams are affected by so many other things and sounds anyway, so im trying it out regardless of the possible mind control theories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Posted April 11, 2012 #19 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) I had my first go last night. I want to know how accurate it is for measuring how deeply you sleep. Might post my results a bit later! I've got no idea if the music affected my dream, I have very active dreams all the time. Edit: iPhone spelling.

Kataliac Posted April 11, 2012 #20 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I agree with Seeker79, My dreams dont need any help tormenting what little bit of sleep that i get. ANd Ive been trying on my own for years to change them, my sub-conscious is gonna do what it wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangepeaceful79 Posted April 11, 2012 #21 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I ran this thing last night on my iPad and was unaware that it did anything at all. Kinda was disappointed. I did have a strange dream about hunting for bigfoot though. Wierd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlis Posted April 11, 2012 #22 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) The OP article has the following two paragraphs I think are worth thinking about. Any thoughts *specifically* about this, anyone? Prof Wiseman said: "Getting a good night's sleep and having pleasant dreams boosts people's productivity, and is essential for their psychological and physical wellbeing. "Despite this, we know very little about how to influence dreams. ... Edited April 11, 2012 by Karlis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unpleasant dreams while unpleasant do serve a purpose. It's like, "here's a sugar pill for a sugar coated dream world". Well no thanks I don't wish to be a repressed drone in my "sleep" time. The implications are what are bothersome. Specially prepared tones and frequencies, even on levels you can not hear, and not to mention subliminal programming DO all affect brain waves and the sub conscious/unconscious mind.
