Gonna say it. That’s a terrible idea. Dreams are random data streams based on what is being stored into long-term memory as you sleep. Being able to witness dreams is not something you want. Experiencing dreams while they’re happening is cool, sure, but being a passive witness to the madness in your skull is not going to be a pleasant time. That’s not even including being able to view other people’s dreams. The accusations of infidelity. Nope, let’s open that pandora’s box.
Am baffled by the inclusion of ai in this comment, though. Feels… out-of-place? Like trying to predict the future, badly. Like retro-futurism.
What is wrong with re-watching one’s dream? I mean, sure. I’ve written some dreams down, and looking back some of it’s kinda cringe (also crappy, cause dreams are random and I can’t remember well)
Also, if dreams are “random data streams based on what is being stored into long-term memory as you sleep”, why random-ass dreams? Not always I wake up feeling like “damn, what a topical dream!” It’s, like, “Oh, Robotnik took Sonic’s wife and I gotta help him”, like. What in that is being stored in my mind?
being able to view other people’s dreams
I did mention it’s a private thing. Not like Smart Pipes sharing your last poo to your online followers

Why is AI out of place? I mean, if it (or machine learning, at least) can “see” or “learn”, or “spot” patterns, and then replicate them, it could be used to try and see a pattern between one’s brain activity, and what imagery could be associated with it. If it can find these associations, it could then work backwards from the brain activity to the image. Like, it receives brain activity when I see or think of an apple, and it knows the context of the apple. Then, without the context, and with enough training, it could figure out when you’re thinking apple. In theory, at least. Not sure how brain activity works, and if there’s anything differing in different contexts that could be picked up like that (i.e. that you could somehow differentiate between thinking apple or any other thing going on in your brain)
For updating your waste status? Well, if you’re Scout Condor, maybe… The average person, though? I don’t think so. You can, however, get tons of coupons from cool restaurants, through targeted ads
