Abstract


The article discusses the relevance and prospects of using generative artificial intelligence technologies to convert text into images, particularly for dream visualization. The main attention is to develop an algorithm that includes text analysis, identification of key elements and emotional connotations, and generation of visual images. The peculiarity of the proposed approach is the ability to create images that no longer retain the logical sequence of the original text, which allows for a more accurate reflection of the nature of the unconscious. Thus, this technology serves as a means of direct demonstration of symbolic and figurative manifestations of unconscious processes of the human psyche.

The research is based on Marshall McLuhan's concept of "technology as an extension of the human being". This concept emphasizes the ability of technology to go beyond ordinary human capabilities, making available deep aspects of the unconscious that usually remain out of sight of consciousness. In this context, generative artificial intelligence technologies act as a means to uncover symbolic and archetypal structures hidden in the psyche, creating images that are freed from the limitations of conscious processing.

Particular attention is paid to the need to consider the dreamer's point of view, defined through the "perspective," that is, the position from which the images in the dream are perceived. The authors describe an algorithm that allows identifying changes in this point of view throughout the text, which reflects the dynamics of mental experience. For example, the transition from the first person to the third person in a textual description of a dream can be integrated into the visualization by dynamically changing the camera perspective.

The authors also emphasize the prospect of using such technologies not only as a tool for individual self-knowledge through dream visualization but also for the development of a wider range of imaginative thinking. Visual manifestations obtained with the help of generative models can contribute to the integration of various aspects of the psyche, stimulating creativity, empathy, and reflection. This approach is aimed at restoring the connection between the conscious and the unconscious, which is important for personal growth and harmonious development.

The proposed technology of generative artificial intelligence is aimed not only at visualizing dreams, but also at stimulating creative thinking, developing integrative processes of the psyche, and opening new horizons for personal and social development.
