Virtual Dream Reliving

“Virtual Dream Reliving” by Pinyao Liu integrates generative AI and immersive VR to enhance personal dream exploration and creativity. Users narrate dreams naturally, and AI transforms descriptions into interactive 3D objects within virtual environments. Tested through an autoethnographic study, the system demonstrates how spatial interactivity enriches traditional dreamwork methods, promoting deeper insights and emotional understanding. It critically reflects on potential misuses of dream technologies—such as commercial exploitation and subconscious manipulation—aiming instead to empower users, fostering ethical human-AI collaboration and reclaiming dreams as personal, transformative spaces.

Impact / Outreach

This research pioneers dream exploration using generative AI and immersive VR, proposing a collaborative role for technology in well-being. By sharing findings through interactive installations, it invites users to harness AI creatively and ethically for personal insight and growth.
