Yeah, I totally want a copy of the dream I had last night where someone stole my motor scooter and I was chasing them around a parking lot

There’s a free tier, which means the dream is same but there are billboards all around the parking lot

Tbh, if it were possible to record dreams or reliably trigger vivid lucid dreams, that could be one of the most significant breakthroughs in the history of art, recreation, and psychology. The fact that some startup is trying to grift on the idea with IoT/gig economy bullshit doesn’t change that.

if it were possible to record dreams

mmmm… this is gonna destroy a whole lotta marriages. My wife knows I’m scum so I’ll probably be ok.

Agree 100%, though the idea of recording dreams would be A privacy nightmare on another level from anything we’ve dealt with before

In the interest of fairness every citizen should have their own mandatory public dream channel on DreamTube.

Shit wait that’ll lead to some people becoming popular DreamTubers. Oh no, Dreamfluencer will become a thing. Quick, burn that timeline to the ground!

Now we need to port uBlockOrigin and SponsorBlock to work with DreamTube, gonna be able to skip ads in my dream

It just occurred to me how similar AI images are to dreams, always related to the prompt, but never quite how a conscious brain would imagine it. All the weird, illegible text, the grotesque bodies, etc. really do match up fairly well with unconsciousness.

I always find text in dreams perfectly legible though it often changes if I try to read the same bit twice.

Can I save a copy of a bout of night terrors I had? I want to be able to relieve that on loop until I’m dead inside.
