A way to re-live your dreams

Some groundbreaking new study is opening the road for you to physically record and replay your dreams - even lucid dreams - in the same way, that movies are recorded and played back.

If you wish to improve your lucid dreaming you can easily learn how here!

Though the technology is still in its infancy, comparable fMRI experiments have already proved the idea. Scientists at Kyoto's ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories have now adapted this technique to the brains of dreamers, paving the door for the recording and replaying of our dreams.

The research, Neural Decoding of Visual Imagery During Sleep, was published in the journal Science and details how scientists used a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scanner to examine the brains of three participants as they began to enter the dream state.

"We focused on dream experience, which can be detected within a few minutes after sleep start," Yukiyasu Kamitani, the study's lead author, stated.

The subjects were subsequently awakened more than 200 times by the researchers, who inquired about their dreams. Their dream descriptions meant that precise dream imagery could be connected to specific patterns of brain activity, as unpleasant as that may seem.

This is because dream stimuli, like waking stimulus, causes unique blood flow patterns in certain regions of the brain. It's also quite consistent. As a result, raising your right arm in your dream activates the identical regions of the brain as raising your right arm awake. This occurs in response to a variety of stimuli, such as listening to classical music or recalling a foul odor.

What's the end result? A simple yet effective dream decoder that converts raw brain activity data into moving visuals that depict dreams. As additional data becomes available, the translation will become more accurate and vibrant.

Here's how the dreamer described what was really going on:

"I was simply looking at a bunch of different personalities. I was gazing at the characters from the essay or whatever it was on something that looked like a writing pad for producing an article..."

"No one has ever done anything like this before in the world of dream decoding," said neuroscientist Jack Gallant. "If you could develop the ultimate dream decoder, it would turn your television into a movie theater and replay your dreams."

While it may be a few years before we can all relive our dreams in this way, the new research represents a watershed moment that might one day see us directing blockbusters from our beds...
