Daydream Believin'

Yeah, she's sharing her dreams with
someone right now.
So after listening to my boyfriend (Yeah, I called him that... wonder if he'll notice.) describe this really vivid scene to me last night full of colors and wonder, I realized how cool it would be to have some sort of device or capability to be able to share our dreams with those of our choosing. I think this may have been done in a few movies before, though none come to mind beyond the slightly bizarre sex scene in "Demolition Man." Regardless, I would love to not just picture my own version of his landscape or imagination (which I would surely do first), but how awesome would it be if you could actually walk through the exact image they had created with them?

I know some can build this with words, others with paint, some with film. But this would be a different kind of intimacy. A new level of sharing. A chance to walk side by side in worlds of our own creation. People could make their own secret hideaways, their own private wonderlands, and then come back safely when it's all over.

Something like this could be your
special secret hideaway.
I'm no scientist by any means, but it certainly seems possible. Surely, when my dream of owning a holodeck comes true, we could probably use those for this purpose. But then again, a holodeck may require programming knowledge. This would be straight images from the brain. Wow.

All this being said, he described it so well I think I saw what he saw. But still. To be there with him. To share a dream? That's something special all on its own.

Braiiiinnnn Food: Would you want to (willingly) share your dreams with others, or is that too much loss of privacy?
