An ambitious project to build a dream imaging machine is underway:
“In a 100-year timeframe we want to understand human consciousness,” said Rubin.
Rubin and colleagues at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute — one of the world’s richest philanthropies with an endowment worth $11.3 billion — are approaching this ticklish problem backwards. They have bought a 280-acre farm in Ashburn, Virginia, and are building a new kind of research campus.
Reminds me of Until the End of the World

I thought of that movie too (good one isn’t it?) - doesn’t everybody end up going nuts and just watching their dreams all day like junkies when they learn how to record dreams?

Yep, the two main characters do at least. I can’t remember if anyone else tried it.

How do we qualify to become guinea pigs for their horrific dream experiments?

I want to become a test project for this! I was just telling some of my co-workers this morning that I always thought it would be cool to be able to record your dreams and then play them back the next day! So, I “googled” dream recording machine and this site came up! What movie is Jason talking about?
