This Bedside Gadget Can Replay Your Dreams Using AI: How It Works

Ever wished you could watch your dreams? A new open-source device called the Dream Recorder makes it possible to turn your spoken dreams into videos with the help of AI.

You might have experienced waking up mid-dream and wanting to remember it forever, but feeling so sleepy that you just go back to sleep, and the dream is gone. Well, now you can create a short video of your dream by simply saying it out loud. Dutch design studio Modem has created a device called the Dream Recorder, which records and stores your dream as a video. It's simple, calm design blends in your bedroom to give you uninterrupted sleep without being flashy. 

A Calm Design For Bedroom Use

The Dream Recorder doesn’t look like a usual gadget. Its creator, Modem, designed this device to sit quietly on your nightstand, blending into the bedroom so as not to disturb your sleep. It has a soft, calm appearance, rather than being flashy and standing out. 

At night, it emits a gentle light that is said to feel peaceful and non-intrusive. Co-founder Bas van de Poel says that they wanted to create a product that feels at home in a bedroom, which they see as a “phone-free sanctuary.” 

Dream Recorder, with its simple and pleasing design, avoids being another distracting piece of tech.

How It Works: Recording Dreams Into Video

Using Dream Recorder is simple. All you have to do is give a rough description of your dream, and with the help of AI, it will create a short, grainy video that matches the dreamy, mystical feel.

It stores up to seven dreams, so you can notice repeating patterns across the week. The device is open-source, meaning anyone can build one with 3D-printed parts and basic components. 

The visuals are influenced by illustrator Alexis Jamet’s artwork, giving them a hazy, artistic style. 

Users can also add prompts to change the video look, and over time, the AI will get better at making dreamscapes more realistic.
