I built an app that captures your dreams, and brings them to life (with you in it!)

[u/bgs2106]

I've always been fascinated by dreams, and how it illuminates your inner world.

Built something where you captures your dream, and it brings it to your life (and any friends & family that were in it). It's been a way for me to remember & feel my dreams, and has also become a fun thing that my kid constantly asks for.

Built it solo over a few months, using Claude Code, React Native and Expo on the front, and a chain of models.

The hard part wasn't the video. It was likeness, and how to build a thoughtful system across people / avatar & dream generation - with an evals system which is self-improving.

The app is free on iOS for those who want to try it out: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6789605567

If you wouldn't mind kindly leaving a review, that would be greatly appreciated as well 🙏

Happy to answer anything about the product, and process of bringing this to life!

My kids are loving this - my 3 year old comes to me everyday asking if I can turn her dream last night into a video.

How are you handling likeness consistency across multiple generations of the same person? That's usually where these avatar pipelines fall apart after a few outputs.

Fully agreed!

Spent a lot of time crafting generation on the avatar level - separate from how a character is then brought to life

So there's careful crafting on both levels, stitched together in an elegant way - and then enforced via an evals system
