Dream Dictionary is a web-based game that explores generational anxiety and insecurities felt by young women. In this artwork, I respond to a Dream Dictionary book gifted to me by my mother. Entering the space feels simultaneously relaxing and like an escape room, mirroring the experience of dream intense sleep. To create this atmosphere, I use the mediative scents from my mother, calming piano music, sensory lights, draping fabrics and, dramatic curtains. Each narrative tries to make sense of the dream meanings and my own insecurities, enticing you into the absurd dream world through the eclectic visual styles and interaction. Combining HTML, animation, games, and narrative, my practice is influenced by Visual Novels, Electronic Literature, and Escape Rooms. Embracing an interdisciplinary, hyper-textual, self-referential practice enables me to reflect contemporary reading attitudes in the digital age.
