@Rick

You’re right. “Dream interpretation” was actually recorded as one of Yahoo’s top 10 search terms a few weeks ago.

There are actually several large and very active forums around dream interpretation/sharing and lucid dreaming. Much more so than you might at first think… try terms like “dream interpretation” or “dream dictionary” in the yahoo search tool. I think you’ll be surprised by the number of monthly searches people are doing for those and similar terms. Old concept, but now Web 2.0′ed.

Dreamcrowd needs to team up with a product like BrilliantDreams.com so members keep having vivid dreams to share! Wow.

tag cloud? check.
featured users? check.
ratings? check.
browse and share generic posted items? check.
another run-of-the-mill social network that has nothing original to offer? check.

my valuation: $25 million, to be acquired by google or ebay sometime this winter.

That every site has a community, to me, shows how inexperienced a lot of people are with the internet in terms of users, business, etc, in my opinion and it just kind of drives me bananas. Not every site has to have a community, social network, etc. There are still a HUGE number of passive users who could care less about sharing, being interactive, etc., and will more than likely only grow as passive entertainment (aka, video) expands and convergence on the back end continues. Statistically, the biggest demographic that does like community and interactivity is ages 18-25 or something (can’t recall the exacts), this means that start ups should really think through who their audience is and if community makes sense. This kind of site could probably do just fine because dream interpretation is appealing to a demographic (probably mostly female, new age, etc.) and i would think personal online dream journals could have legs, but it’s a tiny market in my opinion. I would have built this out to be a full on new age destination site with dream interpretation, astrology or something because I just don’t think you’re going to get numbers on such a narrow, focused niche.

I think the everything-needs-community/social networking is a very niave way for start ups to think. It makes sense for SOME things but it shouldn’t be the end all way you think you’ll build a sticky audience.

You learn something new every day :

” hamburger
To see or eat a hamburger in your dream, suggests that you are lacking some emotional, intellectual, or physical component you need in order to feel whole again. You may be feeling unsatisfied with some situation or relationship. It is also symbolic of your experiences and how you need to learn from them. Look at the big picture.”

The site uses google ads, that alone is enough to sustain a very healthy income. And please don’t come talking about how adsense ea is not a real business model. I already live two years off adsense and other advertising companies.

The people who care most about dreams are the ones posting them (DreamCrowd). Then ones who care most about photos are the ones posting them (Flickr). The ones who care most about what your are doing are the ones posting them (Twitter), etc. The truth is no one else cares about the stuff you post so people posting are wasting their frickin time. Are people that stupid and naive to think that anyone cares what you’re doing at any given moment?… HEY WORLD I’M TYPING A COMMENT ON TECH CRUNCH RIGHT NOW. So what? STUPID world we live in… actually gullible and foolish are more the words. But it makes people filthy rich by taking advantage of puppet follower masses who will believe anything. So DreamCrowd… GOT FOR IT!!!

Heh, I always have to roll my eyes when someone deigns to tell someone else something they dreamed. An observation that I made a long time ago is that there’s nothing people care less about than what you dreamed. People’s eyes just glaze over every time, no matter how cool your dream was.

Whether you’ve also realized this and long ago quit bothering people with your dreams would be a good test of your social intuition. As for the founders of this company, they’ve obviously got none.

eh, some people aren’t looking to make millions, and if the site like that takes off, it should still turn a 100K or so a year profit. Plenty of money for sitting on your ass and doing nothing

A roomful of people who are actually interested in other people’s dreams. Really scraping the bottom of the lifecasting barrel here.

ChandraBajpai,

Is advertising not a legitimate revenue model in your opinion?

By: ChandraBajpai

ChandraBajpai — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 02:56:11 +0000

@Zaid….I agree with you if it’s a hobby, but most sites on TC are not.

I like to eat and pay my bills , so I need revenue. My investors expect a ROI on their investment, so I need a revenue model that shows growth.

is there anything more boring than when someone tells you about a dream they had. gah.

Not every freakin site on the Internet is made with million dollar dreams. In fact, most aren’t.

Some things should just be enjoyed for what they are:)
