Scientists Discover How To Advertise In People’s Dreams

“Dream incubation,” an expanding collection of techniques designed to plant dream suggestions in your mind, dates back to ancient Egypt.

The following report was first published on June 23rd, 2021, on winepressnews.com. The following report is by the Trends Journal:

During January’s Super Bowl, Harvard University dream researcher Deirdre Barrett collaborated with brewer Molson Coors in a marketing test.

The night before the game, volunteers watched a 90-second online video featuring waterfalls and mountain scenery – both of which feature in Coors’ logos – coupled with an eight-hour, overnight soundtrack featuring breezes, sounds of nature, and the sounds of refreshing beverages splashing into a glass.

The instructions: watch the video three times, start the soundtrack, go to sleep, and see what happens.

Anyone who invited a friend to join the test collected a chit good for a free 12-pack of Coors seltzer.

On waking, five of 18 people Barrett monitored reported dreaming about Coors’ drinks.

A 2018 study by a group of Chinese hospitals and research laboratories found that “presenting the spoken name of a familiar, valued snack item during a midday nap significantly improves the preference for that item” over others and the best timing for the message “can be predicted by…neurophysiological signals.”

“Dream incubation,” an expanding collection of techniques designed to plant dream suggestions in your mind, dates back to ancient Egypt.

Now technology is giving the practice a new suite of tools.

A cognitive scientist at MIT has invented a glove that monitors sleep patterns and subtly directs the wearer to dream about specific topics by playing relevant sounds when the sleeper’s mind is most susceptible.

Researchers know when those moments arrive by tracking brain waves and eye movements and have shown that sounds, smells, and other stimuli can plant seeds of specific subjects that make their way into dreams.

Granted, none of us go to bed wearing MIT’s glove or electrodes taped to our skulls.

However, 40 million Americans now have Alexa or some other version of a smart speaker in our bedrooms, according to voicebot.ai’s 2020 Smart Speaker Consumer Adoption Report.

The speakers could be programmed to detect breathing patterns indicating particular stages of sleep, then launch audio cues planting topics in your mind to dream about, critics of the new science of “targeted dream incubation” fear.

Burger King, Microsoft, Xbox, and two airlines are among the companies that have contacted dream researchers about incubation ventures, according to Science magazine.

Now 40 dream researchers have published an on-line letter raising the alarm about targeted dream incubation and calling for “proactive action and new protective policies” to defend the integrity of our dreams.

TRENDPOST: Although researchers disagree about the details, they widely agree that the mind uses dreams to sort, organize, interpret, cope with, store, and discard experiences and information we’ve taken on during the day.

If our dreams become corporate billboards, the function of dreams will be hijacked. Although the effects of co-opting our dreams can’t be known, they’re likely to be detrimental to our mental health.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

It took scientists to figure out something that has been a known biblical truth for thousands of years…

Ecclesiastes 5:3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words. [7] For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.

Job 33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. [15] In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; [16] Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, [17] That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. [18] He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

Nevertheless, now that we know these scheming individuals have finally been caught up to speed, they immediately discovered how people can be controlled, manipulated, and propagandized; with the root cause being yet ANOTHER thousands of year-old truth contained in the word of God:

1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. [10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. [17] Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

Mind manipulation and brainwashing are becoming more and more overt and mainstream…

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
