Dream On?!


I mentioned this on-air during the week and it's still on my mind....so to speak!

When asked what I like to read, I generally try to avoid the "Dana-esque" Sarah Palin response of all kinds of everything. To be honest the last book I read was "Marley & Me" - if you haven't read it, have a box of Kleenex handy. (The film based on the book is out soon - http://marleyandmemovie.com/)

Anyway, I also love (not!) to leaf through that scientific staple "Neuron" magazine, where they've reported that Japanese scientists can literally read our minds! Yes, apparently our Asian cousins have succeeded in transferring images from the brain onto a screen. Soon they hope to be able to display a person's dreams while they sleep. I'm suitably scared by this....notwithstanding the privacy issues - do you really want someone seeing (in real-time!) what you're dreaming about - or more embarrassingly - WHO?! That's not a dream, that's a nightmare.
