"Dream Complex" is an immersive installation blending AR technology with physical models to visualize and explore the narrative of dreams. By utilizing a 3D coordinate system, the project classifies dreams according to three dimensions: emotion type, emotional amplitude, and level of consciousness. This multidimensional approach enables an engaging interaction, inviting participants to explore the subconscious meanings embedded within dream states. Inspired by psychological dream analysis, the project aims to enhance self-awareness by connecting dream experiences to real-life emotions and memories.



Using augmented reality to layer digital elements over physical models, "Dream Complex" creates a surreal environment that feels both tangible and ethereal, reflecting the fluid nature of dreams. Through storytelling, the installation examines how personal aspirations, fears, and subconscious thoughts shape identity. This fusion of technology and narrative art opens possibilities for self-reflection and potential therapeutic insights, making it a unique bridge between inner experience and external expression.
