Digitally Recording Your Dreams!
I had this idea one time in the shower.. yeah I tend to think a lot while showering for some reason anyway the idea is:
come up with a device that can digitally record your dream both audio and visual and the dreamer (you) will be able
to replay the dream on your computer for example. the entire dream will be played back to you so no need to remember
because the 'dream recording device' will have already done the job for you!
i guess this is something way before its time but with science anything is possible.
what it comes down to is creating a device which can record the unconscious which by the way is composed of nothing while
at the same time is full of information. so is it possible to record information that does not exist? i read an article in wired i
believe about a man who was paralyzed from the neck down .. anyway to make a long story short a neuroscientist connects
the guys brain to a computer and the guy is able to move the mouse pointer on the computer screen merely by thinking it!!
now thats consciousness read by the machine.. but unconciousness is a vast pool of unknown knowledge which is much harder
to be understood by humans let alone machines.
......
i did have another idea pertaining to this idea.. it has to do with a Virtual Reality Simulation of one's lucid dreams then again
i'm going to keep this one to myself maybe i'll market this idea and make millions haha yeah right!

If that info. doesn't exist, how do you know it? It's all these little things called neurons connecting to eachother and firing each other off. I suppose it would be possible to record ones dreams that way, but you would have to have some kind of super-high detailed mri thing that is really really fast, and the decoding program would have to re-adjust itself for each person.
For that thing where they stuck the little electrodes in his head, the neurons in that guys head randomly fired off at first and didn't know the controller was there. Eventually they reorganized so that he could cousciously move them on his own.
Some scientists took a bunch of rat neurons, put it on a joystick, and they learned to play MS Flight sim:
