Imagine this: you go to sleep and, before you close your eyes, you choose exactly what you want to dream; it sounds like science fiction, but Artificial Intelligence (AI) and neuroscience are bringing us closer to this field of dreams faster than you think.

Researchers are already developing technology to influence what we dream through AI, neural devices, and advanced algorithms. But this raises a big question:

Can we control our dreams or are we opening the door to a risk of mental manipulation?

AI and Dreams: What is Already Happening

Although it may seem futuristic, AI is already starting to modify the way we dream.

Here are some key advancements:

• Dormio (MIT): A device that detects the hypnagogic phase (between wakefulness and sleep) and introduces stimuli to influence dream content.
• Morpheus-1: A generative ultrasonic device that can induce lucid dreams, allowing people to control their dreams.
• Brain-computer interfaces (BCI): Tools that can read brain signals and, in the future, could help us program personalized dream experiences.

These advancements are breaking the limits of what we thought possible in neuroscience and artificial intelligence.

Applications of AI-Designed Dreams

Programming our dreams could change the way we live, learn, and heal.

Examples of how it could be used:

• Trauma therapy: Modification of traumatic memories to treat post-traumatic stress and anxiety.
• Limitless creativity: Generation of innovative ideas while we sleep, just like Einstein or Tesla did.
• Learning while we sleep: Imagine studying a language or improving motor skills during sleep.

But not everything is positive...

What is the dark side of programmed dreams?

This advancement also raises new concerns about privacy and mental manipulation:

What if advertising or third parties could influence our dreams without us knowing?

Could AI modify our memories or our perception of reality?

If we can control our dreams, who will control the technology behind them?

Are we facing a revolution or an imminent risk?

Artificial intelligence is pushing the limits of our mind, but, like any advancement, it has a positive side and a dark side.

On one hand:

Improvements in mental health and emotional well-being.

Enhancement of creativity and effortless learning.

On the other:

Possibility of manual manipulation of consciousness without consent.

Alteration of the perception of reality and memories.

The question is not whether this will be possible, but what we will do with this technology when it is.

Are we ready to program our dreams?

Let us know your opinion:

Would you like to program your dreams or do you prefer them to remain a mystery?

How do you think this technology could affect our perception of reality?
