Bag O' Dreams, © 2005 by Paul Duffy.
Bag O' Dreams is an application for the exploration of dreams. It allows you to search for words and phrases in a set of dreams. It also creates a term-document model of a set of dreams which lets you identify features and themes which can't be found by simple keyword-type searches. The use of automatic clustering techniques lets you to find themes without specifying what they are ahead of time. Profiling techniques make specific predictions about the gender, age, family and marital status of a dreamer.
Traditional forms of dream interpretation are supported by the ability to tag (color highlight) dream elements from different categories; words describing characters, emotions, settings, objects and actions. The built in dictionary and optional thesaurus allow you find possible associations and idiomatic expressions relevant to these elements. Built in lists of search strings help you quickly identify typical dream themes such as flying, loosing teeth or being chased. These lists can all be customized to suit your needs.
Statistical measures help identify elements and themes which are over-represented or under-represented in a cluster of dreams. These can be used to test a theory of dreaming when it makes specific predictions about dream content for a particular theme.
