“…In early studies from Howard Roffwarg’s laboratory (Bowe-Anders, Herman, & Roffwarg, 1974; Tauber, Roffwarg, & Herman, 1968) subjects wore red-tinted goggles for an extended period of time during wakefulness, which led to altered perceptual qualities during dreaming. Similar effects have been seen on the dreams of subjects who wore prism goggles that invert the visual field for an extended period of time during wakefulness (e.g., Corsi-Cabrera et al, 1986).…”

Dreams are often believed to be “symbolic” and thus categorically distinct from the “ordinary” thoughts of waking cognition. But to the contrary, emerging evidence suggests that dreams and waking cognition share a common origin at the neurobiological level, which is reflected in similarity of form, content, and function at the phenomenological level. In both dreams and daydreams, memories of the past form the basis of novel imaginary scenarios. Neural networks that support remembering the past, imagining the future, and creating fictitious scenes remain active across conscious states of wake and sleep. Taken together, this evidence suggests that dreaming is a natural extension of waking conscious experience. This empirically supported conception of dreaming has important clinical applications concerning the “interpretability” of dreams in the therapeutic setting.

“…However, it should be noticed that these modifications were found using various criteria, i.e. increases in REM duration [170,172,174], in the number of REM episodes [172] or in REM percentage of sleep time [140,147,171,173], but also rapid-eye movement density [138 -141] and number [138] or even dream con tents [169] which make it difficult to conduct comparisons in this heteroclite task collection. Incidentally, it was also found that ocular saccades performed prior to sleep could actually occur less often in subsequent REM sleep than when not trained before [175,176].…”

Sleeping brain, learning brain. The role of sleep for memory systems

The hypothesis that sleep participates in the consolidation of recent memory traces has been investigated using four main paradigms: (1) effects of post-training sleep deprivation on memory consolidation, (2) effects of learning on post-training sleep, (3) effects of within sleep stimulation on the sleep pattern and on overnight memories, and (4) re-expression of behavior-specific neural patterns during post-training sleep. These studies convincingly support the idea that sleep is deeply involved in memory functions in humans and animals. However, the available data still remain too scarce to confirm or reject unequivocally the recently upheld hypothesis that consolidations of non-declarative and declarative memories are respectively dependent upon REM and NREM sleep processes.

“…Experimentally, Dement and Wolpert (1958) collected 15 REM dream reports from individuals deprived of fluids for 24 h prior to sleeping in the laboratory, and five dreams contained thirst-related content. Pre-sleep priming with a visual stimulus is likewise effective; Goodenough et al (1975) show that watching a stressful film prior to sleep increased dream negativity, whereas use of visual inverting prisms led to more active and vivid dreams ( Corsi-Cabrera et al, 1986 ). Pre-sleep rehearsal of current concerns, as opposed to exposure to stimuli, also has some efficacy in incubating dreams.…”

We explore the application of a wide range of sensory stimulation technologies to the area of sleep and dream engineering. We begin by emphasizing the causal role of the body in dream generation, and describe a circuitry between the sleeping body and the dreaming mind. We suggest that nearly any sensory stimuli has potential for modulating experience in sleep. Considering other areas that might afford tools for engineering sensory content in simulated worlds, we turn to Virtual Reality (VR). We outline a collection of relevant VR technologies, including devices engineered to stimulate haptic, temperature, vestibular, olfactory, and auditory sensations. We believe these technologies, which have been developed for high mobility and low cost, can be translated to the field of dream engineering. We close by discussing possible future directions in this field and the ethics of a world in which targeted dream direction and sleep manipulation are feasible.
