I didn't even think of that! It wouldn't even have to be limited to creative professionals, either; I'm sure everyone has incredible ideas that they don't currently have the resources or skill to actually produce. Can you imagine the ensuing artistic renaissance that would occur if every average Joe could simply think his masterpiece into existence and share it instantly with the world? Now I'm even more excited!
Now excuse me while I go change my pants.

I wonder what the psychological impacts would be of the "bed-side dream catcher"? Some memories and images are deeply repressed because if brought to the surface, they could harm us. no?
I'm not saying that certain things need to remain buried, but perhaps they do need to surface at a proper pace. The "dream catcher" might have them surfacing immediately which could be dangerous. -This is my dime store psychology. Still, it's pretty exciting. As an aside, I'd be okay with having Steve Martin as my dream avatar.
