Crowdsourcing gives me that opportunity to support my diversity of interests. It keeps me alive with new challenges and interesting projects. Can't get much better than that can you? Oh yeah, and what's my risk? Time. I personally call it play time.John Lynn, Feb 2007

The Idea
A dream repository where one can can store dreams based on a similar model to flickr. The dreams can then be tagged and marked as public/private/friends etc etc. An entire smorgasbord of ways of "unlocking" the dreams using different analysis techniques. Classic analysis using anicent dream codes eg Jewish, Ancient Egyptian, Native American. Modern search alogorithms using the collective images of Jung and his new age dream teams. Freudian naughty naughties etc. Not only is this a fun and provacative way to explore our own dreams and those of the rest of wired community (compare/pattern search/analyse/laugh at/shake one heads' in worried way/etc) but it also would enable the keeping of what would be an amazing repository of the dreams and imaginings of the state of the wired nations minds for history. Something which has never been done before. A history of that other world would for the first time become google-able for our children and our children's children and our... yougettheidea
I thought of this idea when I was...
When keeping a dream book, and being amazed by the exploration of my mind. And then realising I could not pattern search it properly. And then I lost it... but I can still find my stupid Usenet postings from "remember when" of green flashing monitors. I mean. Geez... Ok. You get it... Don't you. I mean Wow Wahooooo. OK. A rich AJAX Web2.0 way to understand my own mind and the rest of you phreaks'minds too. later... Oh... And my wife just dreamt about carrying a puma around mexico in a lock zip plastic bag. Well it was more complicated than that... but are you interested in knowing more? Come on.. admit it.. a peak into the secret spaces inbetween our daily walkaround life. ok ok. Anyways, likeisaid... later....

A little like 43things then?
Man thats thinkin' outside the box. What about people just posting really wierd stuff that aren't REALLY dreams? Plagerism? How would it be moderated (by the masses?), and how would users be verified? At what point does someone suggest something about someone, based on the wild rides inside their mind, and report them to authorities of any type? Of course the marlin riding the motorbike almost made it up that snowbank turned wave. . .
Creative, unique, interesting. Good score coming from me!
Hey, great!
Words would be great! The images would be a problem.
I don't know how other people dream, but what is a snapshot of subconscious for me, would become a painful early morning for a roomful of photoshoppers wedging digital iron out of my sobby inarticulate explanations of a dream.
But hey, that could be the part of the deal! You post your dream and photoshoppers reading your dream try to recreate it :)
The best dream/image combo wins a trip to Las Vegas :)
p.s. now i see you mentioned flickr only in organisational sense, but i'm too [adjective] to delete what i wrote.
Very nice. This is something I've never heard of before, and I can easily imagine it catching on. Sweet dreams - you've got my vote!
sounds great
I would never use it, but I see other doinbg this.
