    Default Science lets you control your dreams

    Dream come true! Two 'mad scientists' create sleep mask that lets people CONTROL their dreams

    In a twist straight out of the movie Inception, a duo of developers from Brooklyn, New York, has built a sleeping mask designed to allow people to have lucid dreams that they can control.
    While it may look like a standard sleeping mask, Remee has been billed as a special REM (Rapid Eye Movement) enhancing device that is supposed to help steer the sleeper into lucid dreaming by making the brain aware that it is dreaming.
    The goal of the product is to allow people to have the dreams of their choice, from driving a race car to flying to having lunch with Abraham Lincoln.

    The futuristic invention is the brainchild of Duncan Frazier and Steve McGuigan, both aged 30, who have started a company named Bitbanger Labs.
    The two friends put up their project on the crowd funding website Kickstarterwith the goal of raising $35,000. By this week, more than 6,550 people pledged $572,891 to fund Remee.
    The inside of the sleeping mask features a series of six red LED lights that are too faint to wake the sleeper up, but visible enough for the brain to register them. The lights can be programed to produce a sequence designed by the user.

    Every thing. Every thing.




    What if people start getting addicted to dreaming? Will it be deemed a drug and then criminalized? What if I dont know if I am awake or not?

    dreams are pretty easy to control, when I realise I'm asleep and probably dreaming, I try to check the nearest PC, if the text on the screen is pure non sense, I can wake up or give the dream a twist, a lot of fun

    You're liable to dehydrate yourself if you do that.

    I don't think I've ever had a lucid dream.
