A Citizen Science Project
What do we dream
when we dream of AI?
Every night, billions of people fall asleep surrounded by algorithms. What happens when those machines follow us into our dreams?
Share Your DreamHow does AI appear in your dreams? We want to know.
I Dream of AI is a citizen science project exploring how Artificial Intelligence appears in human dreams. Created by the PAD International Research Group at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, the project invites people from all over the world to share their anonymous dream stories.
Every dream shared becomes part of a growing archive that will feed the Atlas of AI Dreams — an interactive map of the emotions, symbols, and patterns that emerge when humans encounter intelligent machines in the landscape of sleep.
Three steps. One dream at a time.
You dream
You have a dream in which AI, a chatbot, an intelligent machine, or anything related to artificial intelligence appears — in any role, any form, any way.
You share
You describe your dream in your own words, in any language. It takes a few minutes. No login, no email, completely anonymous.
It joins the Atlas
Your dream enters an anonymized research corpus. Researchers analyze it alongside thousands of others to map how humanity dreams about AI.
An interdisciplinary research project.
The project brings together the history of science, cognitive science, computational linguistics, and digital humanities — held in productive conversation around a single question: what happens when the machines we have built follow us into our sleep?
