Introducing Snapchat Dreams: Unleash Your Imagination

ByJim Miller

Snapchat has always been at the forefront of innovation when it comes to providing unique and engaging features for its users. From Snapchat Lenses to AI-powered chatbots, the platform has consistently pushed boundaries. Now, Snapchat is introducing yet another exciting AI feature called Dreams. In this article, we will explore what Snapchat Dreams is all about and how you can use it to enhance your Snaps and chats.

What is Snapchat Dreams?

Snapchat Dreams is a revolutionary generative AI feature that allows you to create different versions and personas of yourself in various situations using AI. With Dreams, you can transform into an elf, a dragon hunter, or immerse yourself in an alternate universe. You can even visualize yourself hiking in the mountains or swimming with dolphins. The possibilities are endless!

Dreams works by uploading a series of selfies in different face positions and allowing Snapchat to use this data to generate unique outputs. It's like magic, but powered by AI.

Key Details to Remember About Dreams

Before diving into the world of Dreams, here are some important details to keep in mind:

  1. Dreams is rolling out in phases, so make sure you have the latest version of Snapchat. If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you may have already received the update, and for everyone else, it should be available in the coming weeks.
  2. Currently, Snapchat offers 8 free Dreams based on selected themes. Examples of these themes, known as Dream Packs, include Sweater Weather or Fantasies. More options will be introduced in the future.
  3. You can choose a free Dream Pack only once during the initial setup.
  4. If you're not satisfied with the AI-generated pictures from your free Dream Pack, you cannot change or add a new pack for free. However, you can make an in-app purchase to access more options.
  5. Each Dream Pack starts at $1, and there are limited-time offers available as well.
  6. The more photos you upload of yourself from different angles and locations, the more accurate and diverse your Dreams will be. Input plays a crucial role in determining the output.
  7. Soon, you'll be able to create Dreams with your friends on Snapchat who have also opted into the service. This feature will be introduced in the coming weeks.
