the guy behind this startup:
- (CW bloody photos) “I confirm the information published in the Daily Mail. On May 17, 2023, I performed by myself trepanation, electrode implantation, and electrical stimulation of my brain’s motor cortex. I needed it to test brain stimulation during lucid dreaming”

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.

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
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.
This is just the game “Hypnospace Outlaw”
Everyone needs to be warned about the danger of Beefbrain
I can already drive a real car in my dreams by taking Ambien
They know that sleep isn’t wasted time, right?
Your brain uses sleep and dreams to integrate memories and learning.
For your boss it is. You’re not making them money.
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
I have all ready seen total recall
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.
You need to have the premium subscription for that
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.
Dream Scenario (2023)
That movie couldve been so much more…
Reminds me of Hypnospace Outlaw. https://store.steampowered.com/app/844590/Hypnospace_Outlaw/
Oneiromancy is the new cyberpunk
Hell yeah can’t wait to control my virtual car with my dreams.
Doesn’t this happen at the end of Dream Scenario?
