Generating Images From Dreams

Above is a near identical facsimile of a scene from a dream that I had on Friday morning. I can't recall what the dream was about, but for some reason I had to create a new Blue Screen Of Death graphic and I came up with this, (probably too many thoughts about Windows 8 recently).

Skip ahead to Friday lunch time; watching SkyNews, where I catch the tail end of a story which was being reported as: "Scientists generate video stream from the mind of a test subject. Recording your dreams may be the next step!". The video below was being played .
I got quite excited! This seemed like the future was here. Oh silly, silly me! Later that day I get on the Net and search for the story. It turns out the boffins "only" managed to create a montage of video from other video that was similar to the video that the test subject was looking at. Admittedly, that's pretty amazing too, but NOT what the news reports were making out.

Also, I was very surprised by the amount of people worried about this. Personally, I think the idea is fucking awesome. Think of the blog-content I could generate from the maelstrom of my mind. It would be deliciously horrific!
