Very speculative, but if this could some day be adapted to humans, I'm deeply curious how (if at all) this will figure into treatments for PTSD.
Considering that debilitating nightmares are a common and harmful symptom (as it's hard to function when you spent the night back in $trauma), I wonder whether temporarily "switching off" dreams during treatment would be helpful, if nothing else, allowing the person the occasional restful night.
But, on the other hand, it could be harmful, too, if the traumatic dreams are actually a healthy (if not pleasant) manner of processing the trauma.
Interesting!
