How many of you say to yourselves there aren't enough hours in the day? Most people sleep about one third of their lives. Now think about what you could do with that time. I'm not saying what if you never slept but what if you could do things in your sleep. Previously I had talked about being able to share your dreams, now I'm talking about replacing dreaming.
What if you were able to learn in your sleep? It wouldn't be much different then dreaming because many parts of the brain are activated during dreams. Imagine if you could access the Internet or school work while you sleep and remember it. What if you could run through simulations or tests to improve yourself in those areas. What if you could create a virtual reality all your own almost like the matrix but without all men in suits trying to kill you. Imagine how much could be done with that other third of our lives. Schooling could be completed in half the time, imagine becoming a doctor in four years rather then eight. Think about how technology and medicine could be advanced in much less time. Stressful life experiences could be simulated in order for people to learn how to handle them better. The possibilities in technology and medicine would be so vast purely for the fact that little to no money would need to be spent in a simulation. The possibility of keeping the mind sharp for the elderly would also be greater. I can think of countless ways this kind of technology could be used. Also think of how you could use this for teams by linking their selves together. This could also be great for watching endless amounts of TV lol.
