2023 Speculative design / App design

When I was little, I dreamed of flying in my sleep. So, I started trying to control my dreams. As I grew older, I realized I could control more and more aspects of my dreams. Sometimes, if I was being chased, I could conjure up cars or spaceships from the real world. Other times, I found myself flying, walking through walls, and using all kinds of superpowers within my dreams. Because of this, I almost never had nightmares—controlling my dreams gave me a brief taste of having extraordinary abilities.

This made me wonder: what if more people could control their dreams, just like in Inception or Paprika? What kind of world would that create?

The world within dreams has no laws or rules—it belongs solely to us. In that space, we can experience absolute freedom and privacy. You can do anything without worrying about ethics, social norms, or relationships; it's a place where you can focus entirely on yourself. For someone as busy as I am every day, dreaming feels like a gift—a fleeting escape from reality, a precious little sanctuary just for me.
