Dream Power

Postby Kalaspia-Shimarata » Fri Apr 08, 2011 4:58 am

If you had the power to anonymously jump into people's dreams for the sole purpose of changing the way they treat you, would you use it? I would love that npower and use it on atleast 3 people...maybe more...I don't know who else I would use it on!

Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

Probably use it to change people's opinions on me for the better, like there are some people who just seem aggressive or they are haters, everyone knows that feeling, the best friends of your girlfriend/boyfriend hate your guts for no reason. I would not use the power to change people's opinions on political or spiritual things, nor any of their lifestyle choices.

I'd use it to harvest secrets and blackmail my way up the chain of power to become supreme world overlord.

I prefer the usual way of changing people's opinions. It'd be a dull world if everyone liked everyone else.

That is an interesting concept, although is is morally wrong to do so. However in some cases it would be a plus. For example, if someone is trying to threaten you or kill you, you can slip into their dreams and convince their mind to leave you alone. You could even change the minds of major political leaders, molding the world to how you want; this is very dangerous though.

No, but some people are willing to change. I prefer to try to enlighten than condemn others.

Mind control would take the skill out of social engineering. If movies have taught us anything, it's that the government will use it for no good.

Oh, for sure.

**I've just thought of why regulating it would be a problem. For it to be regulated, that would mean someone other than you would have to know about it...and that would cause problems. For example
Ashley and Jason are boy friend and girl friend**
Ashley:I'm dumping you!
**Jason hen gets into ger dreams and manipulates them for her to get back together**
Ashley:Did you just manipulate my dreams?
Jason:No
Asley:Well prove it...
...........................

But if you want to use it for what I do, then it wouldn't be a problem if they find out that I manipulate their dreams!

I would use it on as many people as possible.

I like feeling powerful.

But it would probably take too much effort. Actually, maybe just do a jump here and there to make sure I've got the power if I ever need it for some reason, but leave everything intact.
