∴ If you walked through a door and are walking outside at night with a girl or guy you are probably dreaming!

All in all over 4000 dreams from the top 20 dream journals where processed. Let me know if you feel left out (you were not on this list) and I will run your dreams through the latest dream sign building algorithms in Liquid Dream III.

Too bad I don't have an online dream journal

Neat.

Reminds me of a school project I did a few semesters ago. Your algorithm probably parses through DV's code better than mine did, though. XP

I notice the more descriptive DJs have a lot of top words that would be related to action or sight (like hand, face, or ground for instance). It might be interesting to see what happens if those kinds of words are given less of a tfidf weighting (assuming that's what you used to do this), as they seem to be more commonly used in DJs, but are probably largely unimportant.

Thanks. I actually don't use any weighting - just a long list of words to ignore (e.g.: I, a, and, the). A dream sign can be added to a category or the ignore list and is then skipped on future runs.

E.g.: I removed 7 signs from your first list and built it again.

Code:

---

Mzzkc: blade, fight, zombies, air, dragon, room, run, energy, night, hands

---

Awesome! Feel free to have your algorithm parse through my dream journal. I'd love to see what comes up. :)

Sure.

Code:

---

PhantomLegend: walked, building, outside, brother, girl, door, campus, dad, car, hall

---

This is cool! :thumbup:

Most of the ones that came up for me aren't really dream signs, though. :cheeky: I mean, walls, hands, and the ground appears in most of my dreams but don't really let me know that I'm dreaming.

Interesting...I know I dream about girls a lot...they tend to stand out the most. But I can't figure out the ship thing. Never knew I mentioned them a lot. How about resorting that top twenty and using "comment's" instead of "entries". IMO the people who get tons of comments probably have the "top 20 dream journals".

Ah, not easily impressed. Let me see what else I can pull out of my bag of tricks.

Code:

---

Puffin: door, pale, school, window, table, glass, webs, wood/wooden, eyes, sky

Perhaps Mzzkc was on to something with the tfidf weighting: you only had 3 dreams with ship in them, but this one was literally swimming with them:
Shipeater Fish - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views.

That's pretty cool, I'd be pretty happy to see results for my DJ (grandfathered) as well if you're interested :). I imagine dark/night, game, girl will probably be there.

Hmm, I will have to write some new code for the grandfathered DJs one day. 'Til then and in honor of your 1000 dreams I have run the 76 dreams in your new DJ. Twice:

Awesome, thanks! Sorry I didn't realize you couldn't run it on a grandfathered journal. Also, lol zombies.

This is really interesting. It's neat to see what your program came up with.

I never realized how much I dream about my brother and my dad.

Hm that's some interesting stuff, just that I currently have no DJ...

However I might have a few ideas:
1. About the way the program chooses dream signs: Instead of going for a total count of specific words (assuming this is still what you do), would it be possible to assign an array of possible dream signs to each dream and see if one of them comes up in an significant amount of dreams? That way one dream swimming with one word (like in the case with Auron above) wouldn't promote that thing immediatly to be recognized as dream sign.
2: What about certain actions that can only be described through more than one word, going through walls for example?

Thanks!

1. Yeah, it would probably be better to do something like this or as Mzzkc suggested, using tfidf weighting, but... if it works, don't fix it.
2. You would have to invent a word for that, like "portalled", or use a consistent phrase with underscores, like "through_a_wall" for now. I have made a note to allow phrases as category items.

Hey Iamcoder, any chance you could run mine through for me :)

Sure.

Code:

---

angie746: room, hubby, door, woman, hand, fly, bed, outside, dad, lol

I thought as well about letting the program check for specific phrases, given you go through the stuff word for word.
For example the sentence: "Suddenly I turned left and went through the wall"
The check for this specific thing could be
1. Checking for words like going/went/walking/etc. and upon finding on triggering step 2
2. Checking for through (can't come up with anything else) if found as well, go to step 3
3. Checking for words like wall/door/etc. if found as well that'd make a positive on going through solid objects

also the check should include the ignore list, so that "went right through the wall" wouldn't corrupt the result.

Eh, this is fun but not reliable. Its all relative on how often someone uses words. If I wrote a sentence:

Quote:

---

I stood by the window. It was white, just your average window frame and glass. I had to run up to this particular window earlier, but didn't look out of it.

---

Quote:

---

I stood by a window. It was white, nothing special. I was here earlier, but didn't look out of it.

---

Stuff like door, window, old, eyes, walk are all not dream signs since they happen in both the real world and dreams all the time. I can see what you did here but I hope you are just doing it for fun.

I haven't updated my dream journal recently, but feel free to go through mine as well.
I'd be interested in seeing what mine are :)

hahah wow nice !

I would like to have my dj run through, I haven't written in it in a while though

@StaySharp: That would definitely be fun to program one day, and a challenge to keep it fast. Perhaps I will create a second function - Dream Phrases.

Code:

---

shadow27: dad, building, college, car, school, mom, game, high, store, run

---

@Loaf: Well, these are also just the top 10 most common words. Dream signs are very personal and I imagine better results if words are filtered out by the individual. But I did not do it just for fun; I was hoping that it would help someone reach lucidity. And there is nothing wrong with using doors as a dream sign, seeing that they are the most common word and easily used as a RC.

Thanks Atras!

Code:

---

dacher2: school, guy, party, home, girl, night, game, room, bus, kid

---

Am I wrong in saying a dream sign is suppose to be an exclusive indicator in ones dream that triggers lucidity? An RC and a dream sign are quite different. But I can see where you are coming from.

No, I guess "Common Dream Words" would be a more accurate description. But "Dream Signs" sounds more elite!

Also, is this a script or program or...

Because if it is, would you ever release it so people can analyze their own?

Sure... free, as in beer: Liquid Dream.

Is this your program and website. :o

Yeah. Thanks! And to get to the demonstrated functionality, just click on Tools -> Dream Sign Builder.

I guess now you really see what I am doing. :shadewink:

Interesting. :D

Is there a way to import our DV journals through rss or something? I looked in the quick start guide, and it covers most of the main functionality, but I didn't see parsing anywhere.

Thanks! There is not currently a way to import DV journals. The code I have for that is very quick and dirty and doesn't get the dates right. I will see if I can polish it up and post it at some point.

This looks awesome! Could ya hack me pl0x? xD

He'll hack your mind via shared dreaming. :u

RUN

(I would actually like to mention, I've always viewed lucid dreaming as hacking a dream, so I really appreciate the whole theme you have going there.)

Code:

---

NonConformist: car, room, dragon, mom, door, fighting, walked, Ace, battle, money

---

Thanks Josh, er Loaf.

Mind doing mine? (I have only 16 entries, but probably 25 dreams in total in those entries)

Appreciate it if ya can

thanks man!

Sure, you would have been better off copying and pasting, but anyway;

Code:

---

JussiKala: school, room, lift, guy, ski, old, building, town, food, streets

---

It is my pleasure!

That is awesome, I did have that program before, and I didn't even realise it had that function, will try out when my DJ get bigger.

Thanks!

E- I had the program installed to see what it's like, but hadn't had the chance to mess with it yet, so I didn't think it would be as easy as copypasting.

It is nice to see that the program is installed by default now... my plan is working!

SO many dreams at night!
Would never have guessed.

I think this is awesome man! I need an android phone so much lol
All your programs seem amazing!

Thanks man!

But no need for an android... this will run on XP, Vista or 7.

Wouldn't mind seeing what you come up with from my journal, Coder. Run it, please?! :>

Program doesn't install under Wine. =(

Also, Coder, I could toss you my old project and tfidf weighting table if you wanted to pick it apart. It's a well commented python script, so you probably wouldn't be able to copy anything, but I don't care if you reverse engineer it, since you aren't charging for the service.

And it did get full points, if that matters at all to you.

Snow Leopard here :lol:
I do have Win7 on bootcamp though.
But yeah I meant your other apps too, like the EEG one. I'll get it eventually :D

Code:

---

Oneironaut: Todd, cops, gun, ship, water, running, fighting, bed, door, car, school

---

You better do an RC whenever you see any of the above. :>

Have you tried duke396's guide?
It would be great if you could share the old project and tfidf weighting table...

I look forward to sending a halograph down your way and will let you know as soon as they are ready. Sweet as!
