I invented something AMAZING in my dream!
God, I’m a genius. I actually INVENTED something really amazing in my dream last night.
I hope it’s not one of those things that I am the only one who thinks it’s amazing… and then when I tell someone, they think it’s not only weird but really stupid.
Let me tell you it anyway and you can tell me what you think… I was going to patent the idea and bring it to the Dragons Den, but it would cost me a fortune in concrete to actually make it.
Here it is anyway, in a nut shell.
It all came from my subconscious genius-of-a-mind don’t forget…
It’s going to be really hard now to translate it into words as I just saw images of it in my dream…
Right, so… em…
Ok…
Well basically it’s made from concrete. If that’s not feasible, then fake concrete may suffice and may be the better choice for emergency reasons (this will make sense later).
Right, what you do is, build a MASSIVE block of concrete, like about the size of a twelve story apartment block. There is only one entrance and one exit to the concrete mass and in between is a kind of maze, similar to that of an ant farm…

But should be as complicated as this:

The narrow burrows should only fit one human being with enough space to maybe scratch themselves if needs be. The burrow should not be wide enough for them to be able to give up and turn around and pull themselves back out. The reason being, that once you enter, there is no wimping out. This teaches the individual the all important lesson of sticking to an important decision… a lesson in strength of mind.
Method of travelling through the burrow is by pulling your body, worm like through the maze. Elbow pads would be supplied free of charge to anyone willing to partake. Tunnels may be fitted with a sort of mechanism that doesn’t allow you to go backwards even if you tried.
Some tunnels/burrows may lead to a dead end; where this is the case, the tunnel would not have the mechanisms that prevent you from turning back (otherwise I’d be done for manslaughter). The idea behind these traps are again, for building up strength of mind and for teaching people to relax and focus under extreme pressure.
I think that these human concrete ant-hill mazes would be great in amusement parks or maybe army training camps or even boot camps for delinquent adolescents.
If someone does have a heart-attack in the middle of the concrete maze, there is an emergency procedure whereby the building can be pulled out in four parts and the person can be plucked from the maze and treated.
Under no circumstances is the person allowed to be removed from the maze however. They must continue on after receiving medical assistance.
These human concrete ant-hill mazes can be a wonderful way to raise money for charity. People would be sponsored to partake in it and spectators could come and watch the concrete while they are inside trying to get out.

There could be an opportunity for further developments to the idea in so far as, the outside could be fitted with glass whereby the spectator could see the individual struggling within but the individual could not see out.
For even more fun, you could add another element. If the person doesn’t make it out by 5pm, then they get locked in the maze overnight! The exit would be bolted shut like….
So what do you think then?

They look interested to me!!!
YES!



I was just tring to find answers to how can I invent something in my dream and remember it the next mornig!!!,,,,but i like the way you have put forth things.
BTW… watch the movie CUBE
I’m not sure about this one – there are a lot of claustrophobics out there…. Maybe you should enter it into the Idea Awards though and see what they think: http://www.allabouttheidea.co.uk/ideaawards – you get a free sticker and the winner gets champagne
