This study explores the feasibility of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology for the recording and analysis of dreams. Participants were equipped with wearable devices embedded with AI algorithms designed to detect and record dream-related brain activity during sleep [1]. Results indicate a promising potential for AI-based dream recording methods, offering valuable insights into the nature of dreams and their neural correlates. Future research directions and implications are discussed.
