Ep. 167 Combating Advertisements In Dreams


Listen Later

Dreams are a place where anything can happen, where our fantasies can become realities.  The great thing is that these personal mini-movies are free, and happen on a nightly basis.  But what if they weren’t entirely pro-bono?  What if there was a “Dream Tax” that you had to pay, and the best dreams came at a premium?  And in order of offset that cost, some companies project advertisements into your nightly visions, saving you money but subtly manipulating you to buy their crappy products.  This wild scenario is not that far off!  This week, we take a look at the indie film “Strawberry Mansion” about a dream tax auditor, and the crazy world he steps into.  Plus we discuss the interesting budding technology around actually recording your dreams for future use (and analysis).
