Mind programming people while they sleep?

Regarding this thread here: http://www.dreamviews.com/f11/read-i...leeping-44718/

Could it be possible to change the dream scene of someone dreaming by whispering in their while they dream?

Like, whisper in their ear over and over that they will be walking on a beach, then ask them when they get up what they dreamed about. Is this possible/plausible?

I would say plausible but IDK you dont hear much when you are asleep I think the mane influence is the music you hear before falling asleep.

Yeah I;d have to agree with Moongrass. The music is sorta the last thing you hear before you fall asleep, so it heavily influences yours dreams.

Also... MoonGrass, if that who I think it is, can I throw a water bottle at your avatar?

That's actually a pretty interesting thought. I mean, you can obviously perceive some sensory information while you're dreaming, just not really consciously. Don't you ever have dreams where there's a loud blaring alarm, you wake up, and your RL alarm is going off? Or, for perhaps a more relevant example, there is the use of tools that beep or produce flashing lights that you sense in your dream in some form to become lucid.

I almost don't think this would work completely, it seems more plausible to me that you would perceive some sort of whispering, nondescript or separate from what was actually being said. If you played the sounds of a beach, however...

thats exactly what I was thinking, beeping and human voice require a very different level of conscience to understand. and I sorry but you can throw bottle at avatar.....

**OldNutter** · 08-27-2010 03:50 AM

Again, I have to agree with Moongrass. Beeps are... very basic to say the. Understanding speech requires a higher level of conscienceness (however you spell the damn word) to understand, which might wake you up... or just be completely ignored. your sub-conscience might pick up on it though.

**Nwonkun** · 08-27-2010 04:08 AM

Well maybe your subconscious would pick it up and translate it to something via a dream?

**OldNutter** · 08-27-2010 04:13 AM

... this would be such a better argument if I'd stop contradicting myself at every turn.. well once, but still

But yeah it might, I guess

Maybe if you played a very distinct sound that could only be interpreted one way. For example, I often have dreams where it's raining and I wake up to hear actual rain on the roof. If you could play the sound of rain then I don't think there's many ways the brain could interpret it and thus rain could become a solid dreamsign?
