"We have created a new way of carrying out mass participation experiments. We still know relatively little about the science of dreaming and this app may provide a real breakthrough in changing how we dream, and record and track those dreams."

In the quiet town of Willow Creek, the name wasn't just a random handle; it was the digital signature of Mrs. Halloway, the coolest mother in the neighborhood . While most parents were struggling to figure out how to send a group text, Mrs. Halloway—known to her son’s friends as flim13—was a legend in the world of online strategy games.

: Content often explores the protagonist's transition from childhood to adulthood. The "friend's mother" character frequently acts as a bridge between the protagonist’s past (their childhood home/friendship) and their awakening into adult desires and complexities.

: Deep narrative arcs might highlight why these two characters are drawn to each other. It often stems from a shared sense of loneliness or being misunderstood by the "friend" character who connects them, leading to a secret, intimate bond. Visual and Artistic Style

"We launched Dream:ON at the 2012 Edinburgh International Science Festival. Over the past two years, over half a million people from around the globe have downloaded the app and we have amassed more than 13 million dream reports. We have just analysed the first batch of this data and the results are fascinating.

Our data does show that peoples' dreams are indeed influenced by them choosing different soundscapes. If someone chooses a nature landscape (e.g. 'Peaceful Garden' or 'Relaxing Rainforest') they tend to experience dreams that involve greenery and flowers. In contrast, when they select a beach-type soundscape (e.g. 'Ocean View' or 'Pool Party') they are more likely to dream about the sun beating down on their skin."

The app also influences the emotional tone of the dream, with the nature soundscape creating dreams that are especially positive, and the city soundscape producing more bizarre dreams.

The final dream of the night influences people's morning mood, and so making that dream more positive may well help thousands face the day with a smile on their face.

In addition, sleep scientists have long known that the dreams of those diagnosed with depression are especially long, frequent, and negative. It's possible that dream influence will become a radically new therapeutic tool in the fight against depression. It's early days, but we're very excited about the potential power of dream control.

"Another aspect of our results suggests something rather strange. A few years ago, neuroscientists from the University of Basel discovered that people experience more disturbed sleeping patterns around the time of a full Moon...

Our Dream:ON data most definitely contains a similar pattern when the lunar calendar is overlaid. More bizarre dreams are being recorded on the app when there is a full moon!"
