Dream Pad is a tool to help you understand the mysteries of your dreams and mind better. It is an iPad app which assists you in recording your dreams, analyzing them and living a healthy life.

We all dream, some do even during the day!
We are talking about the literal ‘dream’, for which the dictionary meaning goes hence.

dream[dreem]    noun, verb, dreamed or dreamt, dream·ing, adjective
–noun
1. a succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep.
2. the sleeping state in which this occurs.
3. an object seen in a dream.

One of our team members was being tormented by a recurring dream since the last fortnight. We often talked about it and tried dissecting and interpreting it on our own.

This successive discussion drew us closer to the subject of dreams and we started looking at the bigger picture. Dreams are as integral to one’s life like food and shelter. It’s something which has been an elusive and less understood topic. All of us dream and for most of us the dream is restricted to the thought sequences that happen in our bed. Rarely have we gone about figuring out these so called visions and trying to analyze and interpret them.

Process

Working more on dreams, their meanings, the human brain, sleep and memory we realized that dreams if recorded early could be interpreted and analysed more accurately rather than them being recalled and analysed at a later date. We started working on the essential features that could be of help in recording, reviewing, interpreting and analyzing our dreams.

On putting all the features together under one roof and thinking about their implementation in the given context we felt that they could be uniquely formed as an application for a smart device and voila! iPad seemed to be the perfect match!

Creation

So what came out is Dream Pad, an iPad application which is one of it’s kind to help people save, interpret , analyse and do much more with their dreams. Dream Pad offers the following features:

Dream Saver

The user with a touch puts the iPad to sleep when he is sleeping, now as soon as he gets up and touches the iPad the application opens in the Dream Saver mode. Dream saver allows the user to record details about the dream in multiple ways, like voice notes, text notes and even sketches assisting the description. It automatically takes note of the timestamp of the dream and also the number of hours for which the user slept.

Dream Stats

It offers the user to analyze his dream in a number of interesting ways. One gets to search the past dreams from keywords, see at what time and how many times in the past he has had it. Learn more about the pattern and also look into what the dream means. The user even gets to learn about his sleep stats and his mental health.

Dream Decoder

The dream decoder has a large database of dream interpretations which the user can use to check up the meaning of his dream.
