Net Connected Dream Inducer

Chudmorph writes "Philips is developing some odd thing they call Nebula. In a nutshell, it's "an interactive projection system designed to enrich the experience of going to bed, sleeping and waking up." "The system consists of a ceiling projector linked via the Internet to a database of content. The content consists of just about anything ranging from an alarm clock, to clouds, and even poetry." This thing even responds to body movements! " Here's a review, but I gotta believe that this is a joke.

    The trick is to realize you're dreaming without waking yourself up. It's a bit difficult in the beginning because you usually realize you're dreaming when something happens that can't happen in real life. The shock makes you wake up. If you can control the shock and stay asleep after realizing you're dreaming, you have full control over what's going on in the dream. I've successfully done it once (maybe more) and it is truly a cool experience.
