What's your prefixed prompt? It does not reflect current thinking on dreams being forced replay of avoidant thoughts. I'd try something like:

> Understanding that dreams reflect fears we are trying not to think about and our subconscious is forcing us to rehearse, analyze the following dream.

I just used your prompt with chatGPT and it gave me a spot on interpretation of a dream I had last year, much better than Nightcap.
> current thinking on dreams being forced replay of avoidant thoughts

That explains all those times I've dreamed about endlessly playing whatever video game I spent the evening in. Clearly I have a subconscious terror of scoring back-to-back Tetrises.

heh, I guess I don't remember enough of my dreams to get anything out of it

> Based on the information provided, it is impossible to accurately interpret this dream without more information. Dreams often reflect our fears, desires, and subconscious thoughts, but the specific meaning of any given dream is highly personal and can depend on the individual's experiences, emotions, and beliefs. Without more context, it is impossible to say what this particular dream may mean.

this is the delicate art of prompt design :)
i would really love to read any work about the current thinking about dreams, do you have any references you recommend?
