Great Quotes:

- Dr. Seuss: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
treating gay people like special little fairy princesses and pat them on the heads and say “you’re perfect because you’re gay” will get you no closer to equality than discrimination will

Mass Participation Dream Experiment Launches
Is it possible to influence people as they sleep and give them their perfect dream?
April 10th saw the launch of a new study that uses a specially designed iPhone app in an attempt to improve the dreams of millions of people around the world. If successful, the study will allow people to create their perfect dream and so wake up feeling especially happy and refreshed.
This study was launched at the Edinburgh International Science Festival by psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman from the University of Hertfordshire.
Wiseman has teamed-up with app developers YUZA to create ‘Dream:ON’ — an app that monitors a person as they sleep and plays a carefully crafted ‘soundscape’ when they dream.
Each soundscape has been carefully designed to evoke a pleasant scenario, such a walk in the woods, or lying on a beach, and Wiseman hopes that these sounds will influence people’s dreams.
At the end of the dream the app sounds a gentle alarm and prompts the person to submit a description of their dream into a database known as ‘The Dream Catcher’. Users of Dream:ON are also encouraged to share their dreams via Facebook and Twitter.
Each night Wiseman will collect thousands of dream reports and use the information to discover whether it is possible to give the world sweet dreams. “The app is free and we want as many people as possible to participate,” noted Wiseman. “I have conducted many mass participation experiments in the past, but this is by far the most ambitious and exciting.”
