pilot test

i don't remember what i dreamt about but we got something from it. after a couple hours of troubleshooting on the software side, i found a grainy sound file. i haven't yet figured out the visual interpreter, or if there even is a visual component to be found in the data. i've realized there are three components to sharpening the quality and depth of what the Dream Machine™ creates: the hardware, the compression software, and the content of the dream. i idly wonder if, through lucid dreaming, where the dreamer knows they are in a dream, and can control the dream, the dreamer could influence what the machine makes. i am going to start writing down my dreams every night to sharpen my memory, and am starting extensive research on how to best induce lucid dreams.
