D-SETI Dreamwork
Dream Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence — a citizen-science movement uniting dreaming, data, and artificial intelligence.
About Daniel Rekshan
Daniel Rekshan is an integrative researcher, hypnotist, and software developer working at the frontier of dreamwork and artificial intelligence. His career bridges empirical data systems with transpersonal exploration, creating new ways to measure and collaborate with consciousness.
Inspired by SETI @ Home, Daniel envisioned a distributed research network where human minds — not just machines — become the receivers. Instead of searching radio frequencies for alien transmissions, D-SETI Dreamwork searches the inner sky: analyzing patterns in distributed human dreaming through ethical AI systems now powerful enough to explore this hypothesis at planetary scale.
Daniel’s background spans classical liberal arts education, integral studies, and professional software engineering. He trained in dreamwork, hypnosis, and transpersonal psychology while studying philosophy, symbolic systems, and contemplative traditions. Professionally, he has worked as a full-stack developer at Goodreads, a data systems architect at Community Attributes, and a technical contributor at LightNet and Archimedes Digital. He co-created the DreamWell app and has led multiple AI and visualization projects focused on extracting meaning from complex human experience.
About Dreamion AI
Dreamion AI is the analytical engine of D-SETI — a custom GPT trained on Daniel’s books, research, transcripts, dream logs, and archival literature. It identifies symbolic patterns, emotional signatures, and geometric motifs across the distributed Dream Archive.
The system began with Daniel’s early NORD project and continued through the DreamWell app, growing into a planetary-scale tool for consciousness research using NLP, data visualization, and structured dream databases.
Today, Dreamion AI supports collaborative dreamwork by surfacing connections that human researchers alone could not track — turning the Archive into a living map of symbolic intelligence.
“We seek to answer a fundamental question — are we alone?”
— Jill Tarter
Focus Areas of D-SETI Dreamwork
Archive AI
A living archive of dreams, hypnosis sessions, and contact experiences processed through natural-language AI — revealing geometry, emotion, and symbolism as data of consciousness.
Interface
An interactive environment where dreamers, scientists, and artists explore patterns, compare sessions, and collaborate in real-time citizen-science projects.
Community
A global network fostering ethical research, education, and shared inquiry into the dream domain as a potential contact modality with non-human intelligence.
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
— Arthur C. Clarke
