About this project
The Goal
Use generative AI to turn nightmares into dreams
When Midjourney v5 launched, I saw an opening to explore something I'd always been fascinated by. Dreams and nightmares live in the same space, fundamentally the same but completely different. I wanted to understand Image Reversal Therapy, a form of therapy used in the treatment of severe nightmares, and see what would happen if I turned the stuff of nightmares into something positive and beautiful.
The Problem
AI felt both fascinating and threatening to creative work
The creative industry is split on generative AI. I was also unsure how this technology would fit into my life as someone who makes things for a living.
The Solution
Learning through making instead of debating from the sidelines
The Impact
The project taught me that AI is widely misunderstood.
While the fears are valid, I focused on how I could understand the larger implications for me personally. It's a tool that expanded what I could make, not a replacement for how I think.
