Now here is some scary. Or a means of entertainment? Or creativity enhancement? Note also the connection to other senses like smell. (Once again I will mention that we did similar experiments long ago, in what was called sleep-learning then, later largely debunked in that form, at the U of Pa Language Laboratory)

MIT Tests 'Dream Incubation' Device That Manipulates The Content of People's Dreams By Peter Dockrill in ScienceAlert
Scientists have developed an experimental device and protocol for manipulating the content of people's dreams while they are sleeping, by making them recall specific cues that can trigger targeted dream themes and experiences.
While the boundless dream-building of Inception remains the stuff of science fiction for now, the new research shows that the evolving science of dream control is far more than fantasy – and that information processing during sleep is capable of being engineered from the outside.
In a new study, a team led by neuroscientist Adam Haar Horowitz from MIT describes how a wearable electronic device – called Dormio – enables what the researchers term 'targeted dream incubation' (TDI), during the fluid first stage of sleep where the sleeper experiences a borderland state of consciousness called hypnagogia. ...
