multiplayer dreaming is a very interesting idea but idk how you'd do it. Perhaps a psuedo-dream state and some invasive "neurolink" sort of tech? But that's quite the techno-dystopian nightmare. I wonder if there is anyway to achieve multiplayer dreaming without that.

also, I want to look into what sort of sounds encourage the brainwaves associated with good sleep. If music has the power, then even look into whether or not music has any effect on the type of dream (good or bad) and then open up an establishment with live musicians who play very specific music meant to encourage both good sleep and good dreams. Patrons would come in, pay for their time, maybe we help them along with beers or downer drinks and then serenade them in ways that scientifically promotes sleep and allow them to enjoy a nice restful sleep. Hopefully I'd be rich enough that I won't need to make money off of this and I could extend the service to anyone who needs shelter and good sleep. That'd be the best use of this discovery

hehe, thank you! For some reason I remembered the name of the opening and hearing the name massive attack just rang a bell

and that's fair. House md definitely has a lot of memes lmao.
I watched that show when I was younger. I was def not mature enough for the emotional depth of the later seasons. Perhaps I should rewatch it at some point, but my attention span is so shot. ToT

also, random question but have you seen Psych?

if they're already trying to see if they can influence dreams, then I'm so interested in reading whatever results they publish. For me, it randomly happened to work. I have spent 7 years living in Belgrade, Serbia, and so one day I was just browsing the streets around my house on google maps street view while listening to russian post-punk, and the room was quite cold so altogether it created a very intense few hours down the memory lane. I fell asleep afterwards and my dream scape seemed very inspired by those images. That was also my first time lucid dreaming, funny how that works

Hahaha, there's definitely a lot of shows where in hindsight, there should've been a bit more regulation on how easily accessible it is to spongey brained young people. Beyond the medical aspect, some of the backstories of the patients are just sad af. I wonder if you'd like it as much on a rewatch; my adjacent show for that era was Bones, and on a rewatch as an adult I could not get through it all lmao

I've never seen it! The show font looks familiar, but no recall looking at the characters. Good / Bad show?

The lucid dreaming part makes sense for that! You must've been mapping out your route subconsciously while you were reminiscing; in theory it would make it easy to lucid dream if you already have an awareness of your surroundings, so you can allocate all your dream tokens on actively interacting with the environment. Did ya do anything of note with your dream liberty, or just lots of wandering?
