Mythos

Mythos is a service and system which combines multiple generative artificial intelligence tools and the latest capabilities of virtual reality technology in order to allow users to create, explore, analyze, annotate, and share their dreams as immersive virtual reality experiences.Doing so allows the user to revisit their dreams while fully conscious and experience them with their rational faculties, enabling them to better understand and gain insights from their unconscious mind.With the cultivation of self-knowledge that comes from using Mythos, one can gain a clearer and more ordered understanding of their unconscious mind, and develop a valuable skill to help them resist vices, pursue virtuous behaviours, and grow toward their full potential.

“Our unconscious mind holds a wealth of information about ourselves; however, it is largely inaccessible to introspective awareness. But when a person can notice, analyze, and understand the contents of their unconscious mind, they can start to connect dots and understand parts of their lives that were previously ambiguous.”
