unisona.ai Dream Journal - Lightweight Deployment

Quick Start (Dream Journal Only)

You now have a lean, 229MB Docker image for the Dream Journal skill. This replaces the massive 1.8GB+ unified container and eliminates PostgreSQL, Redis, and Audit API overhead.

Start the Service

# From lantern-os/ directory

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dream-journal.yml up -d

Service will run on http://127.0.0.1:4177 (local) or https://lantern-os.net (public via Cloudflare Tunnel) with health check at /health.

API Endpoints

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:4177/api/dream/chat \

    "lucidity": 0.65,

    "emotions": ["awe", "curiosity"],

    "tags": ["river", "flight", "surreal"],

Resource Impact

Cleanup Unused Docker Resources

Run the cleanup script to reclaim ~50GB from old containers and build cache:

.\cleanup-docker.ps1

This removes:

• All exited containers
• Unused images (keeps only slim image)
• Build cache
• Dangling volumes

Result: Frees up 50+ GB of disk space.

Storage

• Dreams stored in: /app/data/dreams/dreams_YYYY-MM.jsonl (append-only, one per month)
• Volume mounted to: lantern-logs (Docker volume)
• Data persists across restarts

Next Steps

1. Add more dream features: Integrate with lucid_dreaming skill or bayesian-world-model for analysis
2. Scale interpretation: Feed mirror prompts to Grok, Claude, or local LLM via API
3. Extend API: Add endpoints for dream search, filtering by tags/emotions, or export
4. Multi-user: Extend to support per-user namespacing if needed

Restart / Stop

# Stop the service

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dream-journal.yml down



# Restart

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dream-journal.yml up -d



# View logs

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dream-journal.yml logs -f

Debugging

Chat Diagnostics

Inside the Dream Chat interface:

• Press D or click the 📊 button (bottom-right) to toggle the analytics panel
• Type !debug in the chat input to toggle it without sending a message
• The panel shows session stats, latency, errors, fallbacks, and provider/agent state
