Long ago I built a simple open-source app that emails every morning asking about your dreams[1]. Because I check email when I wake up, I always record my dreams (there are about 100 other users who do the same). After about a year I ran some basic text analysis on my dreams to see if I could extract anything meaningful[2]. My conclusion was no, not really, but it's still interesting how dreams can reflect subconscious worries and struggles. This is especially noticeable in retrospect, but in the moment it's often difficult or pointless to interpret dreams. The Stanford analysis looks deeper than my very cursory text analysis, and it's not surprising that my approach - which just took a few minutes - wasn't great. Very interesting stuff.
