WilliDreams is an app designed to help you keep track of your dreams and to share them with your friends. Keeping track of your dreams has positive effects to your mental health because it can keep you self aware, give you better quality sleep, and even give you increased memory retention. You also will have the ability to share your dreams with your closest friends, by adding them to the app, and sharing away! Did you dream about something that you don’t want to reveal to anyone and want to keep for yourself? Well posting it to your friends is completely optional. WilliDreams will not have a public feed where anyone can post, because I want WilliDreams to be a positive app designed for your benefit, not a distraction to your everyday life, yet I want to help you and your friends get to know each other more by letting you share what you dream about with your friends.
