Great theme, I also read it on the news.

Makes you notice how close we are getting to some of Sci-Fi's most notorious dreams/nightmares. It reminded me of Philip K. Dick's "Ubik" and "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" (aka Total Recall).

Makes you notice how terrible life can get for some people, when they may prefer the alternate "life" of dreams to real human interaction. (I don't know which German author described dreaming as "the ape of death" -apfe des todes-).

Reminds you that the thinness of the dividing line between dream and reality is such that the theme exists in most literatures. From Shakespeare's "Hamlet" to Tirso de Molina's "Life is a Dream" to "The Dream of Chang Tzu", written in 300 B.C.

I heard about this on NPR. Interesting technology if used with moderation, was the gist of the commentary.

Saw this on the news a few days ago and I'd love one of those things if they actually work. I'd have me some very nice dreams and wake up with lots of smiles :-D

Personally, I feel about the same way that SP seems to.

He also bought the "Red Sox Win the World Series" Dream.
I've heard that one is among the most expensive.

I think this is totally possible. Tibetan monks have been training to attain lucid dream by a similar method. Lucid dream is supposed to be the tool of choice to achieve enlightenment.
