    paper Dream Dairy - dream generator

    Dream Dairy is an experimental website that transforms users’ dreams into abstract, generative animations. Visitors write short descriptions of their dreams and watch them turn into motion, color, and rhythm.
    Each dream is saved in a personal Dream Calendar, creating a visual diary of the subconscious. In the public Dream Gallery, users can explore how others’ dreams come to life — surreal, emotional, and unique.
