It is partly bollocks,
you'll have a very hard time reconstructing a complex scene, there aree simply too many possibilities *they acknowledge this in the paper(. They have managed to have very simple high contrast images constructed using voxel analysis. They use a ton of trials to do it and the amount of computation is quite mammoth, 'dream veiwing' is still, and probably alway will be, a pipe dream.
I always enjoy the news getting all imaginative with things thy don't really understand. Still, if this kind of technology is pushed, there are many possible uses for it. They already have 'brain controlled' wheelchairs for quadraplegics.
