1. Introduction
Every night, billions of people enter the shared unconscious. Dreams contain archetypes, fears, and desires that cut across cultures. Yet, most dreams vanish the moment we wake. Vailen transforms this loss into creation: a living, evolving mural of humanity’s dreams.
2. Vision
- Preserve the unconscious - Dreams are ephemeral; Vailen archives them securely and anonymously.
- Visualize the collective mind - By merging fragments into symbolic forms, Vailen reveals shared archetypes and patterns across humanity.
- Create a living artwork - The mural grows and changes as dreams flow into it daily.
3. How Vailen Works
- Submission - Users anonymously submit dreams as text or voice. No personal identifiers are stored.
- Encryption & Anonymization - Each submission is encrypted and stripped of identifying data.
- Symbolic Fragmentation - AI parses dreams into symbolic fragments (e.g., water, falling, strangers, eclipses).
- Collective Mural - Fragments merge into a single evolving artwork anyone can explore.
4. The Mural
Dynamic & Evolving - The mural changes as new dreams arrive.
Pattern Recognition - Recurring symbols surface shared themes across cultures and geographies.
Public Art - The mural acts as both data visualization and living artwork.
5. Why It Matters
- Cultural Preservation - Dreams are part of human heritage.
- Psychological Insight - Aggregated symbols provide a new lens into the collective psyche.
- Creative Expression - Turning what is forgotten into a shared narrative.
6. Applications
- Art & Exhibitions - A continuously growing digital artwork for museums and galleries.
- Research - Data for psychology, anthropology, and cultural studies.
- Community - Shared exploration of the unconscious, sparking dialogue across borders.
7. Roadmap
- Phase 1 - Core platform launch (dream submission + mural visualization).
- Phase 2 - Mobile apps; voice recording submissions.
- Phase 3 - Interactive exploration (search by symbol, theme, region).
- Phase 4 - Public exhibitions; academic research partnerships.
8. Conclusion
Vailen transforms the fleeting and personal into the permanent and collective. By merging dreams into an evolving mural, it turns what is forgotten into a shared narrative - a living map of humanity’s unconscious mind.
