How exactly would this program work ? Would it be like using a watch that chimes every hour to remind a person to do reality checks ? Or would it be something generated by a computer that a person would listen to at night while they sleep ? Either way it sounds like a good idea. |

no, its just a program, that, at random times during the day, it will make the most ridiculus pop up, and beep... it will say: |

Rediculous would probably be the key to make this work. Maybe have a different rediculous random pop-up come up each time to remind one to check their state. Good idea. I may work on something this myself. |

You've given me a great idea on this that will be easy for me to iimplement at work. |

this would be great if you could make the 'pop-ups' related to common dream signs, or perhaps a way to add your own to make it more personal... just an idea |
|
This pop-up thing is working great. Everytime I turned around today at work I was getting a pop-up to check my state. Most times I've ever checked my dream state in one day. And yes, I would be willing to use a program like this because I still need something that will work on my home computer. |

How about Lucille 2 by Mythwell Software? |

The pop-up part of it is what is working so well for me because it forces me to stop and think about it when I am close the pop-up, so I just go ahead and check my state, while when attempting to check my state while wearing a watch that chimed every hour, checking my state ending up being half-hearted attempts or no attempts at all as a chime on a watch becomes very easy to ignore. Of course one would need to be sitting at a computer all day like I do for this to be of benefit. One terrific idea lord soth. Now I am wondering what kind of device could be made for someone not sitting in front of a computer all day long. Maybe a little jack in the box type of thing that could be set up to pop up out of a watch or ring that a person would have to reset each time after it popped up, which undoubtedly would be much more difficult to create than a computer program. Can you imagine sitting in an important meeting and all of a sudden your jack in the box pops up because you forgot to turn it off. You would certainly be life of that meeting (party). This might be a good project for someone like BitterSeason with all of his creative genius. |

to get people that are away from their computers, just buy a pager, and have the computer call it every hour or so... |

You can also use the Windows task scheduler to launch something at predetermined intervals if you like. |

you must be the change you wish to see in the world...

If done right I think this could be a good idea. Harvard has done a number of studies using tetris as the medium of choice, so to speak. One where they made a modified version of the game to display the message "Are you dreaming?" at the end of each level. Another where they made people play a version of tetris over and over to try and induce the same dream in the subjects (17 people shared the same or similar dreams that night). I can't find the link right now to the study about the modified version of tetris that asks if you are dreaming though. |

I finally got the task scheduler thing to run on my computer (Seekers great idea) and it is working like a charm coming up every 20 minutes. |

liquid dreamer II does the same thing. and u can put it on speakers so if your one of those people who can hear external things in their sleep then you get reminded to do a reality check |
|
I've never heard of liquid dreamer II but I am interested in it. Is it a computer program of some sort ? Do you know where I can find information on it ? I searched on Google and came up with one site on it but the site had a problem coming up. Thanks... |
