I’ve recently developed an algorithm capable of generating dreams by leveraging an internal infrastructure that includes DynamoDB as a database and Lambda functions working in sync. The system combines elements derived from real-life events, random components, and emotional values that are weighted to create meaningful narratives.
The Dream Generator creates a unique dreamscape every day, incorporating emotions, symbols, and protagonists in a semi-randomized but emotionally driven manner. These dreams are built from both the structured data in our database and unpredictable randomness, making each one a blend of intention and the unknown.
Key features include:
DynamoDB for storing dream elements: emotions, symbols, and narratives, which can be expanded to grow the variety of dream content.
Lambda functions: orchestrate the dream creation, combining data in new ways each time to ensure a unique experience.
Emotional weighting: the dreams are influenced by both human emotions and digital-specific states (such as crashes, bugs, or conflicts between learning modules).
A Telegram bot: sends the daily generated dream, and an additional elaboration step turns this “raw” dream into a poetic narrative and even a visual representation.
I’m curious to know if this idea resonates with others here. Do you see potential applications for such a project, either for creative exploration, mental health, or something else entirely? I’d love to hear your thoughts, and any suggestions you might have on improving or expanding the system.
Hi, absolutely! I thought about creating an algorithm that combines different values by weighting them among:
Dream-like elements typical of dreams (a variety from classic ones like stars, children, flowers, etc.)
Protagonists (whether only the AI, or the user as well, or others)
Emotions (highlighting their weight, indicating if the emotion is negative or positive). If the sum of emotions is more negative than positive, then a nightmare is generated;
Narrated stories: this is the most interesting part because everything discussed with the AI is summarized and transferred into a dedicated repository. Each “memory” has a “reality” factor, meaning that the more realistic the element is, the higher its value.
There’s a random calculation that defines how much the reality value corresponds to the night dream, and based on this, by combining lived stories, elements, protagonists, and emotions, everything is transformed into a rough prompt which is then fed to the AI to turn it into an image with DALL-E.
The results are incredible, and the more it progresses, the more remarkable they become.
