In other words, cue the intense music because researchers at Yale think it’s only a matter of time before people are able to use lucid dreams to not just learn abilities but possibly invade the dreams of others.

According to The Daily Mail, Yale researcher Robert Morgan thinks these regions of the brain can be accessed for improved social control and decision-making. “We know that by engaging circuits in the brain we can change its architecture,” Morgan says. The Daily Mail continues:

Being in command of dreams opens up opportunities to manipulate them for learning and training – although it may not be quite as precise as learning to play the violin while asleep. Instead, ‘lucid dreamers’ can control areas of their brain to open up and ‘learn’ while they sleep. What’s more, it seems that merely being a lucid dreamer seems to give you an advantage.

So as the subtitle above suggests, take a hint from Mr. Jack Donaghy:

Because the next time you doze off on a plane you may wake up with a stirring hunger for some kung-fu robbery. Be careful, readers.

Site creator Kelly Matthews, CEO of KLM Techniques, announced via URLwire that her site dedicated to recording dreams is celebrating a milestone of 100,000 dreams uploaded.

"When I launched DreamJournal in 2001," said Matthews, "it was mostly for my own enjoyment and fun. I had no idea the site would resonate with so many people."

This is a neat 21st Century spin on the old-fashioned paper and ink dream journal, though I’d imagine people would have to write it down and transcribe in the morning, unless they sleep at the computer.

I kept a dream journal once, the process of which involves training yourself to wakeup after a dream while it is still fresh and you can remember it long enough to write it down. Honestly, being faced with my own subconscious and the distorted reality of the dream world kind of creeped me out. Once I noticed that famous silver cord, I bolted.

There are many camps of people regarding dreams, including spiritualists and psychologists, those who like hearing or reading about dreams and those who don’t. (After all, technically, the "true" story never happened—in literature especially dreams run the risk of breaking the reader’s own dream by reminding the reader it is fiction.) But you gotta admit, dreams about keepers of Horned Bees and demon babies are always kind of interesting. 

What they mean is up to you and my guess is your interpretation is as good as anybody’s, but one of the neat parts of DreamJournal.net is the availability of dream stats collected from the dreamers. The most common subject of dreams consistently over the past year?

Friends. All attached by a silver cord, I bet.
