This is only if you rule that dreams show up at the sensory level at
which you record simsense. I'm fairly sure that if you could record
dreams, you could record any piece of visual imagination-- you could
have cameras that record things seen only in the mind's eye! I would
rule that a simsense recording of someone dreaming would get the
physical sensations of lying there with your eyes closed and the
emotional states from the dream, but the actual imagery would be
absent.
