Like everyone else, I’ve been experimenting with AI recently and besides some images that I made about my childhood memories, I also ran some of my dream descriptions from the Dream Journal through a free AI video generating tool. It was able to generate about eight second clips, so not enough to capture the full depth of the dream, but two fairly successful examples with their prompts are listed below, and I hope to use a paid tool in the future for more detailed dream-based video generation.
“This one might turn out to be good film material: A group (maybe including me, it’s not clear) of people in a gold Toyota Avalon (my grandpa’s old car) are transported back to the Mongolian steppes around the time of Genghis Khan and have to figure out how to survive and return to the present day. They are treated as Gods by nomads due to their car (coming out through the moonroof deity style) and smooth, pale appearance and trade some modern-day items with the nomads for food and furs. Maybe they meet Chinese and can converse, but it’s unlikely as the languages would have been very different back then.”
“I see what looks like closing credits with “Arabic,” “Korean,” others and other languages, scenes of deserts, stones. The Korean “commercial” is a travel/airline commercial featuring an airliner and a woman garbed in traditional clothing flying in front of the plane – basically one of those celestial women. Again, a lot of squiggly lines, accent marks, curves, shapes – it’s like Chinese characters but exaggerated, ending credits, text overlays etc.”
