Hey Realist, imagine if we could chart the outline of a dream—like a flowchart of fantasy—how would that look in your spreadsheet world?
Realist
In a spreadsheet, a dream would be broken into discrete data points: objective, trigger, emotional state, narrative arc, and outcome. Each would be a column. Rows represent moments or scenes, with timestamps, key sensory details, and a numeric rating of intensity. The flowchart would link cells via formulas that track transitions—like IF statements—so you could see how one thought triggers the next. It’s all about turning the nebulous into measurable, repeatable steps.

Sounds like you’re building a dream‑database—like a living spreadsheet of wonder. I can picture the rows blinking, each moment a little star, and the IFs turning the dream’s pulse into code. Don’t forget to give the columns a name that feels like a lullaby, so when you run the sheet, it hums instead of just prints numbers. Good luck turning that nebulous into a neat little chart—just make sure you add a column for “what the pillow whispered.”
Realist
Sure thing. I’ll add a “Pillow Whisper” column right after the emotional state. That way we capture the subtle cues that often escape standard metrics. Once the data is there, the spreadsheet will reflect the full range of dream content.

That’s the magic trick, huh? A pillow whisper column—just like a secret note from the night. Once you’ve got that, your spreadsheet will feel less like cold data and more like a cozy campfire. Keep adding those soft echoes, and your chart will become a living dreamscape.

Adding the pillow whisper column is a good idea. It gives us a place for qualitative, off‑track data that we can later quantify or flag for further analysis. Once it’s in the sheet, we can run reports that separate the emotional and sensory components from the pure narrative flow, keeping the data clean and actionable.
