Why Do We Dream?

image_2.png

Dreams are believed to be a way for our subconscious to process and integrate various experiences, emotions and thoughts. They allow our mind to work on conflicts, emotions, or problems that may not have been fully addressed in waking life. Dreams often communicate through symbolic language using metaphors, images, and narratives that have deeper meanings. They can provide insight into our subconscious beliefs, desires, fears, and aspirations. Exploring these symbols can offer self-reflection and self-discovery. Dreams have the potential to guide us towards growth, healing, and self-awareness.

Digital AI-based of the Process

The digitalization of the Dialoguing with Dreams in Existential Art Therapy technique in an innovative and accessible app lets users to explore the depths of their dreams. Dream Path provides a user-friendly interface, voice-to-text functionality, AI-driven interactions, creating a dynamic and personalized experience. Dream Path provides a valuable tool for individuals to delve into the realm of their dreams, gain insights, and take meaningful actions in their life.

Dream image is created by artificial intelligence within dreamer’s explanations.

Since the dream image is placed between the art therapist and the dreamer, it is important to ensure that the dreamer continues the process without interrupting the communication with the dream image.

The process involves repeating and listening parts between the art therapist and the dreamer, my aim was to digitize these communication parts in a friendly and intimate manner.

Dreamers express themselves in writing in many steps of the process, it is important to ensure that dreamer type and follow easily.

Guidance describing the steps should have clear and friendly language so that the dreamers feels that they are moving in a natural flow.

Creating common language for the communication (buttons, text fields) with the dreamer is important to follow the steps easily.
