Can you imagine being able to record your dreams? Is that something that excites or frightens you? It’s a little bit of both for me.
I guess we’ve all had those dreams that seem so real and so wonderful at the time but then we wake up and we’re left feeling a bit let down as we try to scramble our memory to search for all the pieces to the amazing scenes we’ve just experienced. I’ve visited far off, exotic locations and met with some amazing people but then I wake up to find that not only wasn’t it real, but the memory of those dreams is slipping away incredibly fast. I love the dreams of being back in India or of cycling across Australia.
Maybe you’ve also had those dreams that you don’t remember having at all when you wake up, but then something happens during the day triggers a memory and the dream you had last night floods back.
Now we’re being told that US scientists hope to record people’s dreams.
They’re in early stages of research at the moment but it may one day be possible to TiVo your weird and wonderful night time adventures. If it ever happens, sign me up, but first I want to ensure that the recordings are kept secure, with me being the only one to watch my dreams. I’m sure that there’ll be stuff I’ll show others or even post online once I’ve edited it but having my mind in its most unguarded moments streamed live isn’t something that would thrill me.
How about you? Have you had some dreams that you’d like to be able to re-visit? Would you want to record your dreams?

That would be very interesting indeed! I dream a lot, and quite often remember them, so I wouldn’t mind having them recorded for scientific purposes…except I’m not sure I’d want to relive the scary ones though.
