Description

We take a look at information visualization from a personal standpoint, creating a series of visualizations to explore the possibilities of more accessible representations of one's dreams. DreamVis is designed to make it more possible for people to examine and reflect on their dreams through the use of visuals. Most, if not almost all, dreams are forgotten within the first few moments upon waking. With DreamVis we open the set of personal visualizations, which have more commonly been used to visualize more concrete activities such as diet and exercise, to include more abstract and emotional data set within the context of their daily life.
