The Dream Recorder was a technology aboard Red Dwarf. Self-evidently, it recorded dreams whilst a humanoid was asleep. These could then be rewatched back when awake on a screen through view-holes. One such device was present in the sleeping quarters of the regular characters. Dave Lister once used the Dream Recorder to happily learn that his old crush, First Console Officer Kristine Kochanski, had dreamt about him three times. Rimmer replied that it meant nothing, since he once had a dream about a baboon, but that doesn't mean that he wants to sleep with it. (Confidence and Paranoia, Series I)
