DreamThrower: Creating, Throwing and Catching Dreams for Collaborative Dream Sharing
Abstract : The DreamThrower is a novel technology that explores
virtually creating, throwing and catching dreams. It detects users'
dream state by measuring rapid eye movement (REM). Once the dream state
is detected, sound and light stimuli is played to alter the dream. Users
report on their dream, and they can send the stimuli that they have used
to another person via an on-line website. A working prototype accurately
detects REM sleep. Based on preliminary results, the sound and light
stimuli were found to have little influence on their dreams. Our
prototype's ability to detect REM effectively coupled to a social
network to share dream stimuli opens up a fun game environment even if
the stimuli itself does not have a significant impact. Instead, user
engagement with the social network may be sufficient to alter dreams.
Further studies are needed to determine whether stimulus during REM can
be created to alter dreams significantly.
