New free iPhone app to influence your dreams. Cool! [View all]

Dream:ON is a new app released last week to influence your dreams and chart your sleep patterns.

You put the iPhone on your bed at night and it senses your movements to monitor your sleep pattern. When it senses that you are dreaming it plays one of a set of soundscapes to influence your dream.

When you wake you can write up your dreams and send them to and experimental 'Dream Bank' for future research.

I tried it and it seemed to work. I picked a crowd sound and all my dreams involved being in large groups of people. In the morning there was a graph showing my level of sleep all during the night and it looked pretty accurate based on what I remembered.



It's headed up by Richard Wiseman, Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom.
