When they awoke, according to the specialists they were able to see an interview ingrained since childhood prejudices were reduced drastically. This achievement, while surprising and confirms the power of the dream in regard to learning, open a profound ethical debate on its implementation, as this could lead to manipulations of consciousness taking advantage of the state of vulnerability that involves sleep.
