tldr: dreams show what you  really need in your life. this would include your home vibe



what’s the lowdown?

we take the dreams people write or record and translate it to one of the 84 dream vibes.
    + we did this through decoding the dream’s sentiment to give us your mood/vibe through IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding algorithm. and showing textures, colors, shapes, and décor details that resulted from that. 
   + we used over 1,200 assets within the system to build the automated 84 moodboards
   + of course the most eligible, dreamiest bachelor—tyler cameron (at that time)
