Scientists can read your dreams with 60% accuracy

[Magda Hassan]

The thing about the unconscious in dreams is that it is compensatory -- always seeking ways to achieve balance.

If dream images can, at some point in the future, be inserted - by outside forces - in to a persons psyche in the process of preparing to dream, thereby meddling with the compensatory process, the consequences for psychological harm are simply unthinkable. If done on a large scale. were it ever to be achievable (and I pray it never is), a limited nuclear war would be preferable.

That is my view anyway.

I'm pretty sure they already are. Of a sort. We can do this for ourselves using various techniques commercially available, subliminal CD's, binaural input, brainwave altering sounds etc to achieve certain desired results such as improved memory, deeper sleep, learn a language etc. Which I realize is quite different to some one else inserting them. But who knows what is really on those subliminal tracks apart from the producer? And what is tv and radio advertising and programming (what an appropriate word that is) if not a means of inserting dreams by outside forces to buy certain products or conform in desired ways. When we are spaced out watching tv or listening to the radio in the car we are in an altered state of consciousness just like in hypnosis. Direct access to the subconsciousness. And repeated over and over again with boppy rhythms and soothing voices. Sometimes over years.
