Reflection
The interviewees believe that dreams are a way to help solve their own emotions, and that dreams can be a form of self-relief for emotions encountered in real life. Furthermore, their dream content may symbolize some aspects that are lacking in real life, which are reflected in their dreams.
Although not all dream content can be remembered, the emotions and feelings in dreams can be experienced. Dreams with strong emotions, such as fear, excitement, and happiness, are more easily remembered, and they would like to know whether these are subconscious thoughts or emotions extended from past experiences.
They proposed some interesting ideas. One is "emotional storage," which is a way to help people process emotions in dreams. Another is "lucid dreaming," which involves controlling what happens in dreams.
When considering ways to record dreams, the interviewees first thought of methods that do not involve writing, as writing can slowly consume their memory of the dream. Recording audio is a potential direction.
Regarding the analysis of dream content, the interviewees believe that it requires the use of AI to integrate user feedback and information into big data, which would produce more accurate analysis results. Additionally, recording dreams can create a daily routine, similar to keeping a diary, which helps users cultivate this habit and can lead to a more comprehensive analysis of dream information.
