# Dream Decoding **Entity class:** Neural-decoding research area **Domain:** Neuroscience / Sleep science **Maturity:** Developed ## Definition Dream decoding uses neural and physiological measurements to infer categories, imagery, or narrative features associated with dreaming. ## Mechanism and significance Claims must distinguish coarse classification, post-sleep report alignment, and generated visualization from literal recovery of a complete dream. ## Relationships - **Research dossier:** [[research/ASI and RSI Timeline Research Moonshots|ASI and RSI Timeline Research Moonshots]] - **Ontology route:** [[ASI and RSI Timeline Ontology#Neural Decoding and Cognitive Systems|Neural Decoding and Cognitive Systems]] - **Primary fields:** [[Neural Decoding]] · [[Brain-Computer Interfaces]] · [[Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging]] - **Adjacent concepts:** [[Language Decoding]] · [[Imagined-Image Decoding]] · [[Dream Reconstruction]] · [[Hallucination Reconstruction]] ## Sources and provenance - [[research/ASI and RSI Timeline Research Moonshots|ASI and RSI Timeline Research Moonshots]] — immediate source for this node's role in the broadcast research map. ## Evidence boundary The research dossier establishes why this entity or concept belongs in the Moonshots ontology. Time-sensitive organizational, product, policy, and performance claims should be checked against the linked primary source or a current authoritative source before reuse as settled fact.
