Recording Your Dream: Is It Possible?

So a couple of years ago, I was dating this really smart dude and I remember something interesting he told me.
He said that it was possible to record your dreams with a VCR. He told me that it most likely won't show up vividly on the tape and that it might show up as nothing but unclear/fuzzy images on the TV but that it's possible. The only reason I believed him was because he was really good at science and I'm quite the impressionable person, admittedly.
I hardly remember the technique but I think it had something to do with somebody rewinding a blank tape with the VCR like 20 inches or less away from your head while you're asleep..? Not quite sure but does anybody know anything about this? I don't talk to him anymore because... he kinda sucks but I would be interested in trying it. :) It could be complete bullshit for all I know.

Ummmm, yeah, unfortunately this is quite the fairy-tale idea. :P However, who's to say that technology like this couldn't exist in the future. But you definitely can't do this with a VCR.

Well possibly your brains electronic spectrum can entangle with the VCR's reception. Only if you were some masterful mind god is it possible.

Well I sure can't wait for this technology to come..

So he was wrong, do you guys think a machine like this would be physically possible to make then?

I guess you would have to map brain activity, or something similar. Show a picture of a house and observe the data. Then do the same while dreaming, only the other way around.
It's a very futuristic idea though. I think they did this to rats and found out that they were practicing their "maze walking" in their sleep. Probably drilling in their heads and attaching wires was required.
