<< With many people equipped with cyberware such as simsense recording
rigs, It's just a matter of time that one think of recording their sense
accounts of their entire night's sleep (provided they can find that much MPs
on a computer nearby and can connect their simsense rig to it). >>

The problem with this theory is that dreams aren't really the sequential
events you experience every night... they're random firings of you brain,
which other parts of your brain attempt to interpret, thus causing the stories
you experience. That's part of why dreams are considered so important in
analysis: the interpretting is done in part by the parts of the brain we
normally can't access, so they represent the collated information combined
with things that slip under your a priori thoughts.
