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.
