Dreams, lucid and how we will soon be able to record our dreams as movies, with scientist Daniel Oldis, MA.

Do you know why we dream? Why some say they don’t dream? And have you ever wondered what lucid dreaming is? What about all the advances in technology of recorded dreaming? Hear Daniel’s fascinating knowledge and deeply experienced, insightful - and thought-provoking - opinions about the various scientific theories and findings on dreams. Although Daniel is a hard scientist, many of the scientific findings are extraordinary – particularly about lucid dreaming and shared dreaming between two people. Hear about his research into dream speech recognition, Motor Behavior Reconstruction, recorded dream visual imagery using MRI and his project of animating a nocturnal dream from a sleep-lab, [using electromyography] – where an avatar says and does what the dreamer said and did. Daniel calls this a dream movie and says we already have the technology and will soon be able to record our dreams and view someone else's. He says this may help therapists in dream analysis, particularly with PTSD, but there are also pitfalls to be considered. Daniel calls this “inner space exploration” that’s been occurring while we have also been exploring outer space - both very much since the 1960s.
