Scientists Talk to Lucid Dreamers

This news is a little disturbing.

Scientists want to understand what's really going on while we dream, which is why it makes sense to want to be able to communicate with people while they are asleep. But now that scientists have been able to connect with lucid dreamers with simple back and forth communication, it makes you wonder just what will be done with the information.

There have been so many movies and TV shows that suppose what would happen under these circumstances, from erasing memories to inserting ads into people's sleep. It seems a little Black Mirror-esque to me. Those involved hope that more complex exchanges can be made in the future based on this research. I'm not so sure it's a great idea...

What do you think? Is communication with lucid dreamers a great idea? Share your thoughts in the chat.
