What influences dreams?

by not_this_punk, Nov 10, 2009 11:01AM
Hello.

I'm a MSc student in Human Media Interaction and I was thinking about a possible project: an automatic way of inducing good or bad dreams, based on one's EEG, BP and heart rate.

What I actually want to know is whether people's dreams can be influenced in any way through sound, light, touch and/or temperature variations (while being asleep obviously).

And if dreams can be influenced through any or all of these methods, how can one discern a nice dream from a nightmare, based on EEG, heart rate and blood pressure? Is there an easy method? I mean, are the EEG graphs obviously different in case of a nice dream compared to a nightmare?
