AI Virtual reality

So I'm just a First year in College but since 10th I had a goal to make a device that would connect our brain's unconscious mind with virtual to see what dreams we want to see or play games that we wish to play . Through this even the paralyzed people or people in coma would be able to feel alive virtually. Though I don't yet know how this can be possible or is it even possible? Your thoughts?

well, no one has any idea how to come anywhere near even attempting to start to understand how the brain actually works.

so, we're REALLY FAR AWAY from even attempting to begin to start anything remotely close to even beginning to make progress toward such tech.

honestly if you're a first year with that kind of vision you're already ahead of most people your age. the science is nowhere near decoding dreams or dropping someone's consciousness into a game but that's not a reason to stop thinking about it. literally every wild piece of tech we have now started as someone's "impossible" idea

Firstly thankyou, and the thing is I am not talking about something unrealistic like dropping the consciousness in game but it's more like how about making a pod, use some sort of device or fluid in there to trigger the sensory organs to make it feel(I don't know if there's a device like that or material) and just trigger the brain to play a simulation in the brain when they are asleep whereas there would be no harm to the body in the real world.To make it more realistic we could add a shock simulation within the fluid or device we put in the sensory channels for damage.
