Log and share your dreams the moment you wake up. Never forget them again in this fun app where every new dream is a leaf on a magical growing vine.
The Problem:
People rarely remember their dreams. Only 17%
of people remember their dreams every morning,
with 60% only remembering them occasionally.
The Solution:
Motivate users to write their dreams as soon as
they wake up daily in a fun, incentivizing way.
Three quick questions to help you recall your dreams
The timer to forgetting your dreams starts as soon you wake up.
Answering these short questions will help you retain the memory before it gets too late!
1. Did you dream?
Yes leads to the rest of the logging, No bring you to the home screen.
2.How was it?
Describe how you felt by choosing from a selection of adjectives.
3.Tell us more!
From here you can choose to either doodle, type, or record your voice to get all the remaining details in.
“I used to have a journal in middle/high school that I would
write in as soon as I was awake. If I waited too long, even a mere
few seconds of starting, I would forget everything besides the
eerie feeling of having the dream. It was frustrating.”
A New Leaf
With every new dream logged,
a new leaf sprouts. Log daily and
watch your vine grow alongside you.

To design the best experience, I put out a survey online on what users would want in a dream logging app and what motivates them
to remember them. Here are a few responses to a some of the questions.
Do you ever find yourself wishing that you could remember your dreams more often?
What motivates you to remember your dreams?
What do you believe is the reason(s) for not remembering your dreams?
Have you ever used a journal or an app to record your dreams before?
94% of users wish the could remember their dreams
“I’m more likely to remember my dreams if they’re particularly bizarre, or if they include aspects of my childhood.”
“My roommate and I share our dreams almost every morning.“
“I want to track recurring themes to figure out what my mind is trying to process/how it relates to real life.”
Stories I can tell my friends
65% of users said they were to difficult to remember, and 44% said a lack of dream journal
64% of users have attempted to use a dream journal of some kind to record their dreams before
Before thinking of aesthetics with things such as colors and fonts, wireframes were made to layout the basic needs of the app. Wireframing helped me guide how I would want the user to flow through the app once they open it.
