Overview

Project description

This web application analyzes dreams through a model guided by Jung's analytical psychology, treating dreams symbolically rather than as straightforward narratives. Its interpretive logic focuses on archetypal figures, emotional tone, unconscious tensions, and themes of individuation.

By combining Jungian psychology with David Lynch's world, the system is constrained toward symbolism, ambiguity, and speculative meaning. The result is both a written interpretation of the dream and an image rendered in a Lynch-inspired visual language.
