Elsewhere Dream Journal

This is a really nice dream journal. I’ve been using this journal for about 2 years. It keeps my dreams, safe and accessible. I like that there is a free version with option to upgrade. The art that it makes to go with the Dream is really fun to use and see what art comes up out of the dream through AI. The dream interpretation is quite basic and simple, but that’s just with the free version. You get other options with the paid version such as a Freudian interpretation a Jungian interpretation, etc.

I’ve tried several journaling apps, but this one is my favorite. The AI-generated images are such a unique & creative idea—I’ve noticed I’m more motivated to write down my dreams bc the AI images make it kind of fun. I’ve been journaling my dreams for a few years and I want to import them all to the app. A calendar view and an option for a more compact list would make going through so many dreams a lot easier. Overall, this app is well-designed, and I’m really happy with it!

I’ve been a lifelong vivid dreamer with usually multiple dreams recalled most nights. Writing them longhand can take an hour or more; hence my interest in digital dream journaling apps, to try to save some time. I’ve tried many of these over the years but none of them stuck for a variety of reasons, most typically not having features that I would find helpful. Enter the Elsewhere app — it began, for me, where all the other apps I’ve tried left off, filling the functional gaps that I used to find frustrating, specifically from an organizational and aesthetic standpoint. But then there was the beautiful “icing” on the app cake, notably the AI interpretation of dreams (really spot on in a lot of instances, and always useful in providing some additional avenues from which to consider my dreams) and the AI-generated artwork for each dream (making it a lot easier to find recorded dreams than trying to remember a dream title). And then, the “cherry” on top of this cake has turned out to be the developers themselves, whom I’ve personally found to be amazingly responsive and helpful on the dedicated Discord channel. Cheers, Elsewhere developers, for creating this ever-evolving, inspiring app! Because of it, I’m back to recording dreams much more frequently and even deepening my associated dream work with them, taking my dream-related experiences to new levels.
