Dreams are "in"

[quassom]

Has anyone noticed the large growth of interest in lucid dreaming? It's slowly making its way into the "mainstream" through various facets. Do you think since this is starting to become more popular that technology will start to be made to make lucid dreaming very simple? Can such a technology even be made?? I'm curious on your thoughts about this.

Yes, I think this is mainly because of the movie Inception. Searches for lucid dreaming spiked after that movie. I also think more technology will be made based around lucid dreaming. In fact, it's already happening with the Remee Dream mask and other lucid masks. There might be a time where we just take a pill to become lucid, but first we would have to develop more research into the brain/lucid dreaming. We're getting there!

In my opinion Mancon, we wouldn't need aids for lucid dreaming if it became popular enough. Because it's not that we don't have the ability to always lucid, it's just that we lose it over time. Similar to how people lose the ability to even remember their dreams just because they don't think about them, or tell anyone.
