I don't think this will work. A half a million is alot of money for a computer program.

If this helps our soldiers I am all for it.

Defense spending is clearly a federal responsibility according to the constitution. If they spend $500 million on a stupid electric cars, they can spend this trying to heal traumatized young men sent to fight on our behalf.

This would tie in well with the recent announcement that scientists are close to being able to “record” dreams. If the exact dream situation can be recorded, and used as the template for the rewriting, I would think it would be that much more effective. Also, allegedly, the recording technology shows promise for being able to go the other way too, and “write” dreams into the brain, which would mean that the soldier could wear the system while actually sleeping, and the system would recognize when the dream is occurring and “write” in the new ending in real time.

And yeah, the darker implications of that technology were already well-debated.

Worth a try.

If it works, I don’t care if it costs a billion dollars, or ten.

The entire idea is like putting out a fire by dowsing it with a bucket of gasoline.

Our souls are sometimes tested spiritually. This is a different perception than mental phenomenon, but mental phenomenon may be altered by that perception.

Christianity is a spiritual life.

When tested by situations described in the article, even in dreams, the solution is provided to us by God through faith in Christ. From study of His Word, God the Holy Spirit grows our spirit and sanctifies our soul.

Testing is part of that life. When we remain in fellowship with Him throughout the testing, we are advancing in His walk.

If we choose to rewrite the test in our own volition, we fail by placing ourselves before Him.

I am not surprised that a worldly solution to such testing is anything other than through faith in Christ. Any solution other than through Christ simply further corrupts the soul.

BTW, it is interesting to note that man may be forgiven sins against the Father or the Son as they have been judged at the Cross, but sins against the Holy Spirit are not so judged to allow immediate forgiveness. I am not cognizant that their resolution have been discussed in Scripture. Attempting to use one’s eternal life in the spiritual domain to rewrite the ending of a dream independently of God not only scars the soul, but may be far more damaging and permanent than many other temptations.

Half a million isn’t much for the rights to as many copies as are needed.

This new research is a similar build off of what the National Center for PSTD calls Imagery Rehersal Therapy:

Is that supposed to be "Imagery Reversal Therapy" or "Imagery Rehearsal Therapy"?

You need to relive the event and face it as it was, until it becomes just a memory. That can take a lot of time and some people never get there, but I don’t see trying to deny how it really was as helping long term.

I actually have some experience with this. One time, I had a horrible nightmare. I woke up, and I was like, well, *I* own this brain. It is under MY control, right?

So, I simply ordered my brain to never have a nightmare again. I didn't.

Then I realized I could have fun with it. I ordered up a hot sexy dream with a blonde. It worked.

I now can queue a dream like I'm ordering from NetFlix. Tonight, she will be a redhead.
