If I Built a Machine
A short concept piece describing “YOURDREAM,” a fictional device that reads brain signals to turn dreams into viewable images, letting you watch someone’s dreams live or replay past dreams through an app.
Translated from Turkish by AI.
"Imagine a machine that will read your mind." You’ve probably heard this sentence many times. But my machine would almost travel inside your brain—in other words, it would watch your brain and share your thoughts.
Yes, I’m talking about a machine that is entirely my own idea: "YOURDREAM".
You would attach this machine to people whose dreams you want to watch. The machine would have an app, and by pairing it with the app, you would be able to watch that person’s dreams.
What’s more, if they are dreaming at that very moment, you could watch it as if you were watching a live stream. And when you attach the machine, you would also be able to watch the person’s past dreams. It would be like a dream‑watching platform.
So how does it work? Like this: When you attach the machine to someone, it uses brain signals to turn the dream into a concrete visual image and sends that image to the screen.
