The Dream Map is a database to help you record and
store your dreams. Dreams can be typed into the database along with the date and
the title of the dream. However, there is a big difference between the Dream Map
and an ordinary text only database. The Dream Map uses a hybrid text and
graphical data entry method to assist the dreamer in understanding the dream.
The Dream Map consists of five "filters" or "layers" through
which you can categorize, expand and explore the dream content. These layers put
dream content analysis methods into a graphical, interactive form. The dreamer
explores the Spaces in the dream, the Characters in the dream, the Artifacts in
the dream, the Moods in the dream, and the Insights or messages from the dream.
The combination of graphical layers and icon placements allows you to record and
see interesting aspects of one dream or emerging patterns in many dreams.
This version of the program is a single user version. The next version will
be networked, allowing many dreamers to see their dreams arranged on the map
alongside others on the net.
The present system allows for 28 dreams to be recorded at a time.
Dream Map does not *interpret* dreams, it serves as a helpful tool to
*explore* dreams.
The application works with a Power Macintosh or a 68k Macintosh and needs
about 4 Megs of free ram to run.
Details and a demo version for downloading can be found at the dreamMap
webpage.
