Comunication with external world while dreaming.

I think we all know who Stephen LaBerge is right. If not hes a lucid dream reasercher who basicly proved lucid dreaming was real and helped refine lots of the techniques we use. He also wrote the book Into the World of Lucid Dreaming which is a really great book and I recomend it to lucid dreaming noobs and vetrans alike.

Anyways one of the things he discovered was that while dreaming in REM sleep, our eyes follow the motions of our eyes in the dream. By becoming lucid and moving the eyes in a pattern to signal lucidity while monituring the eyes you could show that they were lucid and when they became lucid.

The other day I was thinking about this one technology I saw on the Science or Discovery channel a few years ago. It was a sensor that goes on the neck and monitors the nerve signals to the vocal chords and can translate them into speech through a compute. You don't have to actualy say anything for it to understant either, you just have to think about saying it. It is designed for people with Luke Erickson disease who have lost the ability to speek might be able to speek again or you could basicly comunicate telepathicly to someones without being heard. I really wish I could find the same video I saw on TV but this one is showing the same thing I think. When I saw it on the science channel though it seemed to work fastor and more smothly and they explained it better.

So when I was thinking about I realized it might be posible to comunicate with this kind of technology while we are lucid dreaming! That woud unlock so many posibilities. You could take a dream journal while you are actualy in the dream or you could describe to your colleagues in the sleep lab what you are experiencing. It might also be able to pick up your dialoge in non lucids too like when people talk in their sleep. Sleep paralysis prevents us from acting out our dreams but as far as I know the signals still get sent. You could journal dreams you dont even remeber!

So what do you guys think about this? Do you think it could work?

It's definitely worth looking into. Is it possible to buy that device anywhere?

I dont think so its probably still being developed but its worth looking up.

Ya I have been wanting to but I wanted to see your guys feedback from it first. It looks like everyone agrees that it has epic potential.

I'm a technology/electronic enthusiast with a long passion with LDs. This is one of the best ideas I have ever heard. I fear that the device will be completely unaffordable to the private individual. I would 100% advise sending your great idea on to LaBerge and perhaps others in the field, to see if you/someone can research this

I can't imagine it costing to much after it is developed since the technology since they plan on using them for simple phone calls. I think all the device would need would be the sensors, a computer, either external or part of the neckband, and a way of reviewing what was said.

Im sorry I havnt sent him an email yet, I have been lazy and keep forgeting to. :P I will try to do it tonight.

I'm pretty sure LaBerge already knows more than most about this technology and it's future applications in regards to lucid dreaming.

It will be nice once things like this are affordable to the general public, but that will still take awhile. But who knows, maybe it will come sooner than we might expect.

You never know, its worth pointing it out to him or the posibilitys that he didnt think about. As for accesibility for people like us I dont think it will be in public for a while but you never know with these kind of things.
