>"The data shows a striking pattern: 22% of respondents experience ad-like content in their dreams between once a week to daily, while another 17% report such occurrences between once a month to every couple of months."

>"The survey found that 41% of respondents would be open to seeing ads in their dreams if it meant receiving discounts on products or services."

>"Over two-thirds of respondents (68%) indicated they would not be willing to pay to keep their dreams ad-free, even if such technology existed. However, a significant minority (32%) expressed interest in a hypothetical “dream-ad blocker,” suggesting growing awareness and concern about this issue among some consumers."

[This study](https://studyfinds.org/your-dreams-are-for-sale-and-companies-are-already-buying/) is pretty goofy, but there actually are people [working on "influencing dreams" as an untapped marketing channel](https://www.marketingdive.com/news/coors-pulls-from-inception-to-insert-brand-into-dreams-before-super-bowl/594048/).

I think I would rather have Freddy Kreuger come into my dream and kill me than have Apple, McDonald's, Starbucks and Coors use my dreams to make me buy shit from them.
