"I wish I could re-live that one specific dream".
Or you were suddenly woken up while still being in a dream and thought:
"I wonder how that dream would have gone on!"
But fret not - with the help of modern AI, you can do both of these things, and much more.
Here is a prompt that puts you back into your own dreams. You can experience them again, and you can continue them this time! "The Dream Expander" is here.
You just need to use a single prompt, and a short description of one of your dreams, or dream fragments.
It's best if it's a genuine entry of your dream diary (in case you keep one!), but you can also quickly scribble down a dream you had and use that.
But, obviously, the better and more detailed your dream diary is, the better the experience will be.
So, here is the precise explanation of how to use "The Dream Expander".
Type the following prompt into your ChatGPT console. Then follow up with a dream diary entry or a dream you wrote down. That's it! You're ready to go.
Dream on!
-beginning of prompt
Dear chatgpt, I know you are able to do a text-only simulation of an imaginary world, similar to text adventure, interactive fiction games.
my idea is that you do a dream simulation. i am keeping a dream diary, and i want to feed you what i wrote down about a certain dream i had. and it would be great if you could do a "dream simulation" then - put me into the dream world of that specific dream, and *continue* the dream. and i will interact with the dream world by text-only input. like a "dream expander".
The simulation should put across the strange, unique and peculiar sensations and events of dreams, and follow "dream logic" to a certain extant .
I will enter the content of the first dream in the next prompt.
Would be awesome if you could do that :-)

Advanced settings:
You can specify or change the prompt to further enhance the dream experience, or to explore different options.
1. Dream Mood/Atmosphere
- Peaceful and Serene: "The dream feels calm, almost ethereal, like floating on water or walking through a quiet meadow at dusk. There's a sense of tranquility, but also a feeling that something mysterious could emerge at any moment."
- Eerie and Unsettling: "The dream has an unsettling undertone, like something is off, but you can't quite put your finger on it. Familiar places feel twisted or abandoned, and shadows seem to move on their own."
- Chaotic and Intense: "Everything in the dream feels like it's moving too fast, like a storm or an intense chase. Colors are vivid and constantly shifting, and the environment seems to shift rapidly without warning."
- Nostalgic and Faded: "The dream is soaked in nostalgia, like an old photograph or a memory. It's familiar, but details are fuzzy and the edges of the world seem to blur and fade in and out."
- Whimsical and Absurd: "The dream has a playful, almost childlike quality. Objects defy physics, animals talk, and nonsensical events happen with no rhyme or reason, yet everything feels perfectly normal within the dream."
2. Guidelines for Dream Logic
- Surreal but Coherent: "The dream should follow a loose logic where things make sense at first glance but, on closer inspection, don't quite add up. Objects and people may suddenly change shape or identity, but the overall flow still feels somewhat linear."
- Fragmented and Disjointed: "The dream should feel like a series of disconnected scenes or events. Places and people shift suddenly, with no explanation, and actions repeat or loop in bizarre ways."
- Symbolic and Deeply Personal: "The dream world should be filled with symbols and metaphors that feel significant, though their meanings might not be clear right away. Colors, objects, and locations should evoke strong emotions tied to personal experiences."
- Fluid and Ever-Changing: "The dream should have no fixed reality. Every action or decision causes the environment to shift in unexpected ways, like stepping through different dimensions or time periods with no boundaries."
- Looping or Recursive: "Certain elements or events should repeat themselves with small variations. There might be a sense of trying to escape or resolve something that keeps returning in different forms."
3. Pacing Preferences
- Slow and Detailed: "The dream should unfold slowly, with rich, vivid descriptions and a focus on sensory experiences. There's time to explore each scene in depth, and small details can hold great significance."
- Moderate Pace with Shifts: "The dream moves at a balanced pace. There's time to absorb each scene, but transitions happen when needed to push the experience forward. The environment may shift suddenly, but it still feels like part of the same flow."
- Fast and Intense: "The dream should move rapidly, with quick transitions between scenes and a sense of urgency. There might be little time to stop and reflect as the environment constantly shifts around you."

Dream Simulation Begins
You stand on the emerald planet. The surface beneath your feet shimmers like gemstones, glinting in the strange light of this surreal world. The trees around you are towering, their leaves made of some kind of glowing, translucent material, casting an ethereal glow over everything. The lakes reflect the sky, which has swirling shades of green and blue, unlike any sky you've ever seen before. The air here is fresh, with an otherworldly scent of something sweet, mixed with a hint of electricity.
You feel an overwhelming sense of peace, but at the same time, there’s a subtle, surreal tension in the air—as if this paradise hides something just beyond your perception.
In the distance, you see what looks like a structure—a futuristic tower, but made of the same emerald material as the planet. It pulses with a soft, green light. There’s also movement in the forest around you, though it's hard to tell whether it’s animals, the wind, or something else entirely.
A choice lies before you.
What will you do?
You:
ChatGPT:
The tower grows larger in your view, and you notice intricate designs etched into its surface. The patterns look both ancient and futuristic, as if they hold some kind of hidden code or knowledge. The closer you get, the more you feel a subtle pull, as if the tower is calling you.
When you reach the base of the tower, you notice there’s no visible entrance. The walls are smooth and seamless, glowing softly. You see your reflection in the emerald surface—it’s strange, almost as if your reflection is delayed by a fraction of a second.
Suddenly, a section of the wall begins to ripple, and an opening forms in front of you, leading into a dimly lit chamber inside.
Do you enter the tower, or explore more outside?
You:
ChatGPT:
The chamber inside is vast and circular, the ceiling impossibly high. Strange, geometric patterns adorn the walls, shifting and changing as if alive. In the center of the room floats a glowing, translucent orb. It pulses gently, casting light that seems to breathe in sync with your heartbeat. Beneath it, on the emerald floor, you see symbols arranged in a perfect circle around the orb. The symbols seem to beckon you closer, their shapes resonating deep within your mind, stirring something primal, something ancient.
As you approach, a voice—soft and melodic, but echoing from everywhere and nowhere—whispers into your thoughts:
"This place is a gateway. The orb is your key. Touch it to unlock the path."
You feel a strange compulsion to reach out and touch the orb, but there’s also a flicker of doubt. The atmosphere here, though beautiful, is charged with a mysterious energy—anything could happen.
Do you touch the orb, or do you investigate the chamber further before making a decision?
You:
ChatGPT:
You reach out, your hand trembling slightly as your fingers brush against the surface of the glowing orb. The moment you make contact, a surge of energy rushes through you—a warmth that spreads from your fingertips, racing up your arm and flooding your entire body. The room around you begins to blur and distort as if reality itself is bending.
The orb pulses brighter, and then everything goes completely white. You feel weightless, as if suspended in an endless void, yet there’s no fear—only a strange sense of calm and anticipation.
Then, the light fades, and you find yourself standing in a completely different place.
You are on a floating platform, high above a surreal landscape. Below you, massive, spiraling structures of emerald stretch far into the distance, interwoven with rivers of glowing liquid. The sky is no longer green and blue; instead, it’s a deep, starry black, with unfamiliar constellations and swirling nebulae that seem to shift and change when you’re not looking directly at them.
In front of you, on the platform, is a figure—tall, slender, and cloaked in a flowing robe that seems to shimmer with the same emerald glow as the world around you. Their face is obscured, but their presence feels ancient and wise, as if they’ve been here for eons, waiting.
The figure raises a hand and speaks, their voice soft but carrying power:
"You have crossed the threshold. Now, the path to the core of this world opens before you. But beware, for every step you take here shapes the reality around you. Choose wisely, traveler, for your journey has only just begun."
The figure gestures to two paths that materialize before you on the platform. One path seems stable, leading downward toward the spiraling structures below, while the other is less defined, shifting and changing like a living thing, leading upwards into the unknown.
Which path will you take?
You:
Upwards
ChatGPT:
You choose the path leading upwards, and as you step onto it, the sensation of movement is unlike anything you’ve experienced. The ground beneath your feet feels fluid, as if you’re walking on a stream of shifting light. The path rises gently, and with each step, the landscape below becomes more distant, while the stars and nebulae above grow closer, more vivid.
The path itself transforms as you ascend. It seems to ripple and pulse, guided by an invisible rhythm. The air becomes cooler and tinged with a faint, invigorating scent—something like ozone mixed with the tang of a crisp mountain breeze.
After a while, the path reaches a plateau, and you find yourself on another platform, this one smaller and more isolated. At the center of this new platform is a massive, crystalline structure—a prism that refracts the starlight into a spectrum of colors. The colors swirl and shift, creating mesmerizing patterns in the air around you.
On the other side of the platform, there is a large, ornate door made of the same emerald material as the planet. It’s covered in intricate symbols and patterns that seem to pulse with a soft, rhythmic glow.
As you approach the crystalline prism, it begins to emit a gentle hum, resonating with a deep, harmonic frequency that you can feel in your chest. The prism seems to be interacting with the symbols on the door, causing them to shift and rearrange in a rhythmic sequence.
What do you do next?
You:
Dance to the rhythm
ChatGPT:
You start to move, letting the rhythmic hum of the crystalline prism guide your movements. Your steps are fluid and spontaneous, flowing with the pulsating energy of the platform. The sensation is both liberating and exhilarating—your body seems to synchronize perfectly with the hum, and you feel a deep connection with the surrounding energy.
As you dance, the patterns of light and color from the prism intensify, swirling and expanding in harmony with your movements. The symbols on the ornate door respond to your dance, shifting and rearranging in complex sequences that seem to match your rhythm.
The door begins to shimmer and pulse, and as you reach a particularly energetic part of your dance, the door slowly starts to open. The light from the crystalline prism floods through the newly revealed passage, casting an otherworldly glow into the space beyond.
When the door is fully open, you see a vast, open chamber bathed in the same emerald light that pervades this world. Inside, floating in the center of the chamber, is a massive, ancient-looking book. Its pages are illuminated with the same rhythmic symbols you saw earlier, and it seems to be floating just out of reach.
The chamber is silent except for the gentle hum of the crystalline prism behind you. There’s a palpable sense of anticipation in the air, as if the book holds the next key to your journey or the answers you seek.
Do you approach the book, or explore the chamber further?
You:
Explorer further
ChatGPT:
You decide to explore the chamber before approaching the book. As you step further into the space, the emerald light shifts subtly, revealing more details of the chamber. The walls are adorned with murals and frescoes, depicting scenes of cosmic landscapes, celestial beings, and ancient rituals. These images seem to come alive as you pass by, with elements of the murals subtly shifting and moving, giving the impression of an evolving story.
In one corner of the chamber, you notice a series of smaller, glowing orbs floating in a suspended formation. They drift slowly, each emitting a soft, melodic hum that complements the larger hum of the crystalline prism. The orbs seem to resonate with the same energy you felt during your dance.
On the opposite side of the chamber, there is a narrow archway leading to a stairway that spirals downward into darkness. The air around the archway feels cooler and carries a faint, mysterious echo.
To your left, there is a series of strange, triangular panels embedded in the wall. They pulse with a rhythmic light that syncs with the orbs’ hum. Some of the panels seem to be interactive, with faint, touch-sensitive symbols appearing when you approach them.
What would you like to investigate further: the floating orbs, the stairway, or the triangular panels?
