Dreaming

[slipstrike0159]

Now dreams are a random assortment of our experiences and the life we have been through so far in some sense of the phrase correct? Also, our dreams can be influenced by sometimes still semi-concious senses like when you dream around a tv show that is playing while you sleep next to the tv or when you fall asleep listening to music.
Assuming most of our dreams are influenced based on perception, the lack thereof, and the subconcious aspect of it, then wouldnt it be easy to somehow create a dream scenario that you want to happen while you are asleep? That is to say, have a dream about what your concious mind wants you to dream? How then is it any different than a subconcious form of virtual reality? Supposing we get the technology to simulate stimulations of our senses to the point where virtual reality becomes almost completely real to our perception then wouldnt it be just like having a dream? Following along this same process, couldnt we then come up with a means to produce such a controlled dream environment by backtracking to the most simplistic human anonalmy?
Then again, how would we know what our subconcious mind wants us to experience if we artifically make our own dreams, and yet, would they still be dreams in the same sense of the word?

Just something to think about i guess...
