Abstract
Keywords: Dream Visualization, Generative AI, Immersive Art, AIGC
Recurring dreams of falling often symbolize uncertainties and anxieties, reflecting a perception of losing control. On the other hand, exploring these dreams may empower individuals to confront such negative emotions. In this work, we interviewed 15 participants regarding their narratives of falling dreams. We analyzed these narratives to extract the patterns as keywords and phrases, which were then used as prompts to create videos for each pattern using the text-to-image tool Stable Diffusion Deforum. The outcomes from the generation were displayed in an exhibition, immersing audiences in the sensation of falling as depicted in the interviewees’ dreams. This work underscores the capacity of GenAI to enable an expressive re-interpretation of common everyday experiences.
