Dream Walk

Take a little walk somewhere impossible.

Turn the images you love into tiny worlds you can explore.

Enter a Dream Create From an Image

No sign-up. Works with a mouse, touch, or keyboard.

Hand-made worlds

Start with one of ours.

A pink blossom tree grows from a small rock in still water, silhouetted against a huge glowing moon, petals drifting on the air.

The Moonlit Cottage

A small floating cottage under a patient moon. Somebody left the lamp unlit, the drawers unchecked and the door on the far islet locked.

2 rooms · 19 things to touch

An isometric stack of glowing teal cubes floats above clouds in front of a black eclipse with a bright rim.

The Tiny Workshop

A bench of unfinished ideas, a gear box that drops things, and a radio tuned to somewhere else.

How it works

The image is the invitation. The world is the experience.

  1. 01

    Pick an image

    Choose something from the Dream Gallery, upload your own, or describe a place in a sentence.

  2. 02

    It's interpreted

    Dream Walk reads colours, light and mood (on your device by default) and shows you exactly what it understood. It's an interpretation, not a reconstruction.

  3. 03

    A world is built

    One of 6 templates (Cozy Cottage, Enchanted Garden, Haunted Room, Floating Island, Moonlit Observatory, Tiny Workshop) is filled with objects you can open, pick, switch and inspect.

Credits

Dream Walk's engine, navigation and worlds were written for Dream Meridian. Its illustrated look was informed by studying Anatomy by Ryan (MIT) for banded face shading, Colorfigures and ISO-GLOW by April Zhu, and iso-figure by Tolga Cohce (MIT) for ink outlines and hinge timing, and the CD Case by Ann Nguyen (@ann_nnng, TypingMind) for hinged motion and thin glass. Techniques were re-implemented; no source code was copied.
