Precedents

For this project I read Cultural probes and the value of uncertainty and was intrigued by the idea presented by the authors of having users record their dreams. I considered using this idea of recording the dreams but decided against it because to be able to make a simpler prototype. I also took inspiration from Dreamcatchers, which inspired the name of the app. Dreamcatchers are Native American handmade nets that were believed to be able to give people good dreams. I also had the idea to combine these two ideas into a object that hung above a person's bed, like the a dreamcatcher, and was able to record the persons dream when they woke up.
