You wet the bed when ur asleep?
Or did you mean Lucid. - Kodiak41226, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Crap, all the wind went out when I read that I have to wait until 2012 to get some damn sleep.
- sunshawk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Nightmare on Elm Street"
- richpav, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Nicotine patches--the kind you use to quit smoking--cause vivid, freaky dreams.
- psients, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wait a minute, so this is what's going to send us all into an out-of-body state of consciousness and end humanity in the Mayan apocalypse of 2012, eh?
- techbuzz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here's something I take that is already on the market, but focused on just dreams, not a sleeping pill.
http://www.brilliantdreams.com - delvach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I agree with pluto_777. I recently started taking melatonin, it's cheap, OTC, has no groggy side effects, helps you sleep deeply, AND have vivid dreams (which may just be due to the deeper sleep/opportunity to hit REM). I've actually had a few lucid dreams so far, which doesn't sound too uncommon.
- chembro84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I would really like a drug with no negative effects to help with my sleeping problems, the doctors I talk to always shrug it off when i talk about being "constantly drained" from the moment i wake, until i get a nice 20-30 minute nap in twice a day.
- XDataBurn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You're all missing the point here... 'yensed' admitted to wetting the bed, and only one person said anything at all.
"I am a Liquid Dreamer." - blhack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1if you guys want to know a terrific way of enhancing your dreaming:
wrap yourself up in your blankets as TIGHTLY as possible, the tighter the better, you shouldn't be able to move your arms or legs. Now start relaxing ALL of the muscles in your body, start at your toes and just keep concentrating on completely relaxing until you have reached your head (at which point you should have probably fallen asleep) You will go to sleep VERY deeply for about 20 minutes, at which point you will start to become awake again....after some time you will become semi aware. When you reach this stage your dreams should be completely controllable. You can trick you mind into believing anything....its GREAAAAAAAAAT!!!!....you will also be able to *SNAP* yourself out of this faily quickly if need be....but if you do your going to feel pretty disoriented for about a minute or so....so be aware. - deathguppie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't believe no one mentioned LSD... you don't even need to fall asleep =)
- shawgo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hope this works, I would like to have more dreams. I haven't had any in so long. And I also have a few addictions I would like to get rid of, also. Good luck, scientists!
- nonokiaboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1perfect timing! just when Duke Nukem Forever will come out!
- tjl2015, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A drug that:
1. Enhances dreams-have fun
2. Improves memory-improve your career
3. Causes weight loss-get thin
It's like a reflection of modern desires. If this thing doesn't have any really bad side effects, this stuff will be selling like crack. Is this the Soma of The Brave New World? Or would they try to outlaw it? For other drugs made illegal, there was a case, however flimsy, tying them to crime or some other societal ill. What about this, would some scare tactic be created for it as well? Does society have a right to outlaw nonmedical drugs that don't cause societal harm? Should people rely on drugs for happiness?
Do I need sleep...well, at least I can answer that one. - llllloooooo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Vitamin B can also help you have more vivid/memorable dreams.
- jshapiro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sleep? That's where I'm a Pirate. - Ralph
- ddpruitt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If you want vivid dream recall try taking a vitamin B complex just before going to bed. It may take a couple of days but it will totally freak you out.
- ThePhilomath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Maybe it wouldn't work at all... If i take stuff for my allergies which makes me tired, I never dream.."
Well, just because you don't remember your dreams does not mean you don't have them. The pill increases REM sleep, which has been linked with improved logical abilities and not so much memory. A side effect of REM sleep is that you always dream dream it, and that reoccurs multiple times per night.
Your Body naturally regulates REM sleep, and I wouldn't be surprised that if you use this drug then REM sleep will decrease once you stop using it. Therefore in the long run it would not improve memory, and possibly stint it.
Don't take drug's people! - espot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is HUGE to those of us who have tried absolutely every OTC and Rx sleep remedy, and every sleep technique without any success. Even excersise doesn't work.
I've waited 33 years, I can wat another 6. - sremick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Another vote for melatonin. Cheap, safe, natural, available EVERYWHERE and RIGHT NOW. Plus it has other health-benefits.
Just take it when you'd normally go to bed. If you wait until 3am you're sorta screwed. It kicks-in your normal sleep cycle, so you want to allow the full amount of sleep from the time you take it. - ahhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Damn where's the edit..
Oops it's not an American company. Doh - oldcyborg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Melatonin does nothing for me. Valerian works some, IF I concentrate on making it work. Anything that happens in 2012 is of virtually no consequence to me.
I gave up 1/2 a pill of one of those prescription jobs, which was 1/2 milligram., It made me even more stupid in the morning and made it even harder to get up. So, I tough it out with Valerian. A bad night means up every 45 minutes or so. I allow 12 hours to get 6-8 hours of sleep.
I simply cannot think or make decisions, with no sleep. So, altho I am impressed that others are working on the problems, 6 years in the future is too much to ask of a person...
Cyborg
NO - treepour, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0try not using the computer, playing games, watching tv, 1/2 to 1 hour before going to bed . . .
lay off caffeine in the late afternoon/evening . . .
get some exercise, preferably during daylight hours . . .
oh, never mind, who am i talking to? - foxhoundadmin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"The drug is going into Phase II trials. Clozel says it could be on the market by 2012 and admits that there are plans to extend its application beyond insomnia."
2012! holy crap! that's like...forever! anyone who's seen the movie "boiler room" knows, phase ii comes before phase iii, and phase iii is the last phase. :P
another thing, if these drugs take so long to get out of "testing," then why are we always hearing about all these drug recalls? - TheGalacticFork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+02012? No fair, I need to get super sleep right now!
- yensed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Maybe it wouldn't work at all... If i take stuff for my allergies which makes me tired, I never dream..
- syuusuke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this drug will turn you into a vegetable.
- dangmoss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0CPAP machine that treats sleep apnea causes wicked vivid dreams... I use mine and I love it...
- SuperSloth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I take Prozac. I remember my dreams every night.
Serotonin FTW. - mofomojo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This sounds like some really cool and new recreational drugs.
Now, how about a cure for cancer? Too bad, but you can now have more vivid dreams!
YAY!!! - green1152, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is quite interesting. I'll keep an eye on this one.
- kindrobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+02012 huh? I say more like 2009 ordered overseas. (if you're in the us)
- sosuke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I sleep very heavily, I cannot remember my dreams but I talk (and conversate) in my sleep, and I have terrible memory. I use no drugs. I'm phuqed.
- adenine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Its easier to use ZMA (3 nutrients: zinc, magnesium, and vitamin b-6) which is available pretty much anywhere supplements are sold. Its primarily used to promote hormone production and to improve the quality of sleep (this is where dreaming comes in). I use it to help with my weight training.
So yeah ever since I started using it I dream every night now. - HarryBauzonia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Last thing I need. Last night I dreamt I was having sex with Janet Jackson. Unfortunately I talk in my sleep, and my wife sleeps lightly.
- dreamcore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0As above, we already have melatonin—which definitely enhances REM sleep. Since it occurs naturally in the body, it is unpatentable, inexpensive, and over-the-counter in the USA.
- Legs40, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I would love for these people to come out with a drug. That will help you stop dreaming.
- anthony1124, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i want this ***** now. where can i go to be a test subject?
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0***** 2012..
- 5blocksfree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh yay. Another pill.
- ext237, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh, you want help with dreaming? Try Dilantin. One of the side effects is deep sleep and vivid dreams. If you're not an Epileptic and think it might help you with other medical issues (like sleep problems, anxiety, etc), check out this site:
http://www.remarkablemedicine.com/Clinical/clinicaluses/thoughtmood/nonepileptics.html - ThePhilomath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0*dream during (sorry)
- PoorYorick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They know that the rats in this study are dreaming because of the muscle tone and brainwave patterns. Wait until they find out that the dreams are actually soul-shaking nightmares or maybe just mundane dreams about mazes and cheese. Who wants to sign up now?
- crawfd, on 07/15/2008, -0/+0Haha, well I do not doubt that it inhibits things like lucid dreams.
Saw a similar article at http://www.luciddreaming.com about this.. I'll give it a shot.. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0In Soviet Russia sleep dreams you
- JingJang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great step.
When we can combine the ability to use drugs to induce a dream-state - AND use computer-induced neural-electrolysis with some fancy programing - just think of the benefits: You'd be able to "live another life" while sleeping! Imagine being able to take college courses while asleep! You get the picture.
It's all imagination right now, but so much technology in the last 100 years started as imagination. I think this is pretty cool stuff.
Previous posters about melatonin: I totally agree with the better sleep thing - but I usually go too deep for dreams when I take it. - NewmanVonSquidy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Raulph Wiggum says "sleep - thats where I'm a viking," not pirate.
- neoq36, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is this what Mr. Sandman gives people....
Great in 2012 we create Dark City.... -
