Thread: Dreams whereby audible sounds in sleeping environment are incorporated in one's dreams?

to Dreamviews Lora!

There is no specific terms for these dreams, because it technically occurs in every dream. Sound is not the only sensory input that transfers, smell, sight, and touch will as well(following that logic, taste incorporates too but eating in your sleep can be somewhat dangerous...)

The NovaDreamer and other similar devices work entirely hinged on this phenomenon.

I have had that, sounds in the dreams, then I awaken and I hear sound outside, and the same for smells.
