So yeah, just found out about this earlier, and I'm properly impressed. As of now, I don't think they're near being able to record dreams, but as all of this is currently rather new I am very hopeful that the ability to do such a thing will be acquired in time. Of course, the bulky equipment needed to do this would make it unreasonable for personal use, but you never know what scientists are going to do nowadays. (Seriously, particles possibly moving faster than light have been observed quite recently as well)
Anyways, I'll just post this now so people can actually read it.
Current LD goal(s): Talk to some people, and remember it.

Yes I also like the idea of BCI (brain-computer-interface), but actually in both directions. Also for new input methods it might be a good start. Or for visualizing dreams  Though that might actually be a bit hard, because human thoughts (and such are dreams) can not exactly be recorded and replayed by any other medium than a human brain I think. Or well, maybe they can be recorded with decent accuracy by digital media, but in order to experience a dream somewhat had, I think it would be necessary to upload it to your own brain.
As for making such things usable for common persons, that's not what scientists do. That's an engineer's task

Great! 
I hope we will soon have dream-recorders.
So i won't need to write my DJ myself .  
Current LD goal(s): improve dream recall | get back to having LDs regularly | world domination

Very interesting. I never though that you could record stuff, which your brain sees. Recording dreams would also be pretty interesting.
Current LD goal(s): Have a lightsaber duel with a DC.

From the article: "...system recorded the brain's blood flow through their brains' visual cortex...". One has to wonder whether it(the visual cortex) is used for dream images as well...
Current LD goal(s): Have one and have control, conjure fire

Yeah, that's one of the questions I'm also saddled with.
In general, though, I like this discovery because this points to the possibility that in the future (and hopefully in my lifetime) it will become possible to at least record and playback some aspects of dreams. There are things that happen in my dreams that are very hard to explain and I'd love to be able to show people that.
Current LD goal(s): To expand the world of Silverwind City in my lucid dreams!

Yeah, I've always though that it'd be awesome to be able to record dreams and the like, but usually laughed it off as wistful thinking. Now that it seems they've actually gotten somewhere I have some true hope that it'll be possible some day. Sounds like a cool profession to get into.
Also, I wonder what could be learned by doing similar tests on other animals. It'd be cool to know what my cat is thinking(visually, though it'd be interesting if they were able to record audio from the brain), how he dreams and what about.

The Philip K Dick in me worries whether this will be used in the future to invade our privacy and indict those who dream of inappropriate things.
