Dream Complex
Overview
Dream Complex is a project that combines AR technology and physical models to create a narrative of dreams. It utilizes a 3D coordinate system to classify dreams, based on the type of emotion, the amplitude of emotion, and the level of consciousness. Users can use their mobile phones to scan different locations of this AR installation, which will allow them to see dreams representing different emotions. Overall, Dream Complex is an innovative project that seeks to create a storytelling experience around dreams while also providing a new tool for exploring the subconscious mind and gaining a deeper understanding of oneself.

Background
Dream Complex is a project that combines AR technology and physical models to create a narrative of dreams. The concept of dream narrative can be divided into three aspects: story content, visualization, and narrative style. Dream narrative requires breaking down into three components: the story content, visualization, and narrative style. Dream records serve as the story content for this project as there is a lot of data from which to draw. Creating a storytelling process requires logical sequencing, and that is the most challenging part of the project. By analyzing and studying dreams, the aim of this project is to build a dream system where dreams can be logically placed to allow for clearer narration and deeper exploration of their meaning. The main idea of this project is to visualize and express dreams in a narrative way while also gaining a deeper understanding of oneself through the process of analyzing subconscious dreams.
