On average, we forget our dreams within five to ten minutes of waking up, often losing valuable insight and revelations. Dreams can tell us so much about our psyche, inner thoughts and emotions, and fears. However, our memory cannot sustain remembering them regularly for prolonged periods of time. My project aims to help by providing an enjoyable and convenient way to record dreams as soon as one wakes up. Maia is the personal dream keeper and interpreter that I created in the form of a mobile app. Offering detailed dream analysis, the app helps you understand what your subconscious self is trying to tell you. I have always been fascinated with dream interpretation, especially as I come from a culture that believes in the superstitious value and mythology associated with dreams. Arabs are really into it, and my mother claims to be a dream psychic (and she’s almost always right with her predictions). That’s why I called the app Maia, in honor of my mother.
