No, they can't. What they call a dream in the article is a visualization of an average.

Some 20 odd years ago, I was at a BCS symposium discussing AI. One of the speakers presented a piece about mistakes they were making with early versions of what today we know as Machine Learning. One that stuck with me was an image recognition system. They trained it with known photos and then fed in new ones to be identified. It was complicated because it often needed to transform the images, rotating, tilting, enlarging etc. Then they noticed a rather odd phenomena, when there was no input, it started to go randomly through the images it knew. The machine was dreaming. Sentience! It's alive! Skyn... Not so fast. It was doing what it had been told to do. Take the input [just a blank image] and find the known image it resembled most closely.
