He created an automaton capable of drawing that dream along with his signature. He may have had a dream in his early life about a spacecraft striking the man in the moon (probably after reading From the Earth to the Moon) and it stuck with him. It's mentioned that Georges was the first filmmaker to use the medium to recreate dreams.
Perhaps he based the scene from the film on the drawing?. How, then, does the automaton draw a scene from one of his films that was made after the automaton was dismantled? Melies built the automaton before moving into film, then dismantled it to make his first camera and never repaired it. In fact, back then, train stations pretty much were airports. He's the chief of security at a government-run train station. For that matter, how is what's basically a Mall Cop allowed a doberman and a freakin' bullwhip?. If I recall correctly, the inspector didn't see Hugo's face during the first chase scene - it seems the dog did, for a brief second when he tracked Hugo down at the toy booth, but all Inspector Gustave would've seen after Hugo started running would be the back of his head. 
As the head of security at a central train station, he probably sees lots and lots of people. It's suggested pretty strongly that the stationmaster makes a habit of catching young children, so he probably just doesn't make particular note of their faces any more.
The second time he catches Hugo, he doesn't remember him as the same child from the initial escape, so it's not surprising he didn't recognise him in the middle. How could the station inspector be soooo easily fooled by Hugo putting on a hat? Between the first and second time Hugo gets caught by the station inspector, he is walking with Chloe Moretz and takes her hat to disguise himself. In the book it says Hugo has been picking them up and they're sitting in a pile on a desk in the room where Hugo sleeps. Did nobody notice that Hugo's uncle wasn't picking up his paycheques?. He was able to rebuild it through a combination of remembering parts from the notebook, working in a booth belonging to the man who happened to have built the automaton, and experience from when he'd helped his father in the clock store where he used to work. Also worth mentioning is that, in the book, Hugo does eventually get the notebook back it turns out Papa Georges faked burning it. A Wish List: 7 Actors I’d Love to See in Joss Whedon’s S.H.I.E.L.D.

The automaton was created for the film by Dick George Creatives, a company based in Surrey who have been working in the Film and Television industries for over thirty years and they have produced this short Making Of video for the Automaton and there’s a care and a love for their work which is evident here and also in the final piece. 
The automaton itself is an incredibly intricate piece of machinery and Scorsese makes great use of this visual delight in the film. I won’t spoil the film for you if you’ve yet to see it, but a crucial part of the film revolves around the restoration of an automaton, an early robot if you like, which leads the young Hugo towards the answer he seeks (like I said, no spoilers here). This short video gives an excellent peek behind the movie curtains to see how a nameless, yet integral, character came to be. Martin Scorsese’s adaptation of The Invention of Hugo Cabret has been almost* univerally adored by critics across the world and while a lot of attention is being paid to the director’s first use of 3D there’s a more practical magic on display in the film.
