Dreams Decoded: Introducing AI-Powered Dream Analysis
"Dreams are the touchstones of our character." - Henry David Thoreau
Every night, we spend roughly two hours dreaming, whether or not we remember. Given we spend a third of our life asleep, it would be a shame to overlook such a big slice of our existence that’s rich in imagery and insights.
Can you remember a time your significant other got mad at you for something you did in their dreams? Dreams can be a reflection of our innermost thoughts, feelings, and even our subconscious desires. They can influence our mood, our decisions, and our work. Some can linger while others evaporate. What happens in our dreams can reveal some deeper clues about our internal experiences, and are worth examining.
Dreams do have meaning
While scientists have debated the extent to which dreams reflect our subconscious desires, research shows that dreams do influence people's decisions and attitudes. This suggests that our dreams are not just random narratives but might be deeply connected to our daily lives and the choices we make.
Scientific American writes, “Dreams seem to help us process emotions by encoding and constructing memories of them. What we see and experience in our dreams might not necessarily be real, but the emotions attached to these experiences certainly are.”
