ReVerie
In collaboration with dream researchers, the interactive AI system ReVerie examines ethical considerations in dream technology by inviting participants into a communal ritual of dream-sharing. Participants whisper their dreams, prompting a generative diffusion AI to visualize dream imagery within a collective immersive environment in real-time. This dynamic experience allows participants to re-engage their subconscious narratives, reclaiming agency over personal dream content and critically examining the potential implications of technology in dream interpretation. Beyond mere visualization, ReVerie facilitates intimate community interactions, stimulating discussions around privacy, subconscious autonomy, and the future of neurotechnology, thereby broadening the public discourse on how emerging technologies impact individual identity and social relationships.
Impact / Outreach
ReVerie bridges AI and dream science to prototype a new interface between technology and the subconscious. By combining immersive technology with 3D generative AI, it transforms dream narratives into explorable spatial experiences. This convergence opens new pathways for understanding the role of dreams in mental health, positioning AI not as an interpreter, but as a co-creative facilitator of insight, reflection, and healing. Beyond its artistic and scientific significance, ReVerie has the potential to evolve into a form of digital medicine for nightmare treatment.
