I wish I could screenshot my dreams

If you press on your nose and your genitals at the same time your body takes a screenshot
- For me it's different, it's when I sneeze and fart at the same time.
- Mine just took a shot that landed on my screen
- Why do I want to try this?

It's hard to screenshot dreams because you are in your dreams and have very low conscious control over your real body.
But you can start the screen recording before you goto sleep so that it'll be recorded automatically. You can extract frames. Good luck.
- I'd actually love that. Last night I dreamed I was playing something akin to X-Wing Alliance with my dad's Thrustmaster joystick and actually feeling the g-force of all the movement. The fucking alarm clock went off while I was trying to land inside a Star Destroyer (which had an entire brick interior decor for dream reasons) after bombing its turrets.
  
  Sounds like a dream!

You can once they release recall for humans
Keep in mind it will be ad supported
- Wow! I dreamt about Brawndo??
  You sure did 😉

That would be so cool. I often dream about taking pictures of wonderful landscapes, but the phone has always some kind of problem that prevent me to do so. Sometimes I also have the explicit thought of "damn, too bad I'm in a dream and it won't save to my phone anyway".
- Yeah, it's weird that your brain always avoids the thing. Same with going to the toilet in dreams. I wonder what trains your brain to avoid the thing.

Damn you made me remember last night's dream where I handed someone three bags, one of them contained dirt, one nutella, and one poop. They were all indistinguishable visually and somehow not even via smell. And then I ran away. I don't know why I was so panicked that they would come after me but I woke up panicking.
- I still remember yesterday night's dream where I was being driven to the coast in Portugal, where Portugal was just a 1km wide strip. I have never been to Portugal.
  
  Now you have been, bro. Now you have been.

This would be a great Monkey's Paw post.
- Granted. You can now screenshot your dreams.
  They get deleted at the end too

I get nightmares almost every day so i think i’m good. I don’t wanna see that again
- Talk to your doctor about prazosin. It's done wonders for me. I don't dream at all when I take it.

I had a pretty cool dream and remembered most of it right before I woke up. I wrote it down for my big Hollywood screen play...

Wouldn't share that around the office. My last dream was of encasing my boss in lego.
- Yes but I still think there should be a social network where you could voluntarily share these dream screenshots with other people.
