Abstract

Dreams are a source of inspiration for writers, artists, and creative professionals for generations, but recent Generative AI (GenAI) tools make it possible to use natural language to record details of dreams in image form for creativity support. This workshop invites Creativity and Cognition participants working in creative fields with interest in recording and utilizing their dream materi- als to use GenAI to support their dream documentation. We aim to highlight the unique contribution of dream experiences to art and design inspiration and how it can be supported by technology. Participants bring their dream sketches or records for sharing, rein- terpreting, and applying GenAI for visualization. Participants will use GenAI with partners to transcribe their dreams, then create an original visual story based on their own practice and the dream inspiration. The outcome is a hands-on experience with sharing dream inspiration and applying it to creative work, allowing partic- ipants to share their insights and enrich the emerging community of dream-supported creativity in HCI. © 2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).
