Its 5:02 A.M. and I just woke up to go to work and I just got on to check baseball scores and I saw this on Yahoo. Thought it would be interesting to post here to see what people think about it. It is something that is said to be able to choose your dreams.
Wow, that’s really interesting. Lucid dreaming is a lot cheaper and more effective though. I’d stick to what we’re doing.
I think it is interesting that this is being passed off as a toy. It doesn’t really sound like anything that can’t be done with a computer and a few programs. I’m sure the people that don’t really know anything about what dreaming is about and that you DO have the ability to control them with enough practice, will be amazed by this.
In a study conducted on a group of men and women between the ages of 20-40, the device had a success rate of 22 percent in inducing dreams in which one of the prompt words appeared, said the Yomiuri Shimbun, a major daily.
umm… that’s not a good success rate.
and I mean it’s something you could do for free, when you naturally wake up, play some pre recorded terms, go back to sleep, problem solved.
not everyone wakes up during the night but I mean certainly at least once a week you have a WBTB opporunity where you KNOW you could go right back to sleep pretty easily.
I agree, it’s certainly no trouble to record some key words yourself, and play them back repeatedly during the night - but this device isn’t exactly expensive, and offers a few other features that you may find appealing. Having your own recording start at the right times during the night would be a bit of a challenge, and maybe that added fragrance really does help to put you asleep faster (heh, anything’s possible, right?).
I also imagine it’s pretty quick and convenient to change the message that the device plays, as opposed to burning a new CD every other night. Maybe it would be quite useful for a lot of people.
yeah, but only effective in 22 percent of the cases.
LD’ing is effective somewhere about 90 percent (assuming you’re lucid)
they make it sound like people who sleep are a minority.
22% isn’t a bad success rate if you want to dream about what you want. I mean 1 out of every 5 dreams, that’s more than I have now
