Project Context
Built ToFeel Useful.
Dream Veil is an AI-powered dream journaling platform built around contextual interpretation and semantic pattern recognition. Users record dreams, receive streaming psychoanalysis from Gemini 2.5 Flash, and discover thematic links across their history, all while optional E2EE ensures the server never permanently stores plaintext narratives or interpretations.

Built a 6-phase production RAG pipeline: hybrid pgvector + BM25 retrieval, reciprocal rank fusion, cross-encoder reranking, and grounding guards.
Streamed multimodal AI interpretations in real time via Server-Sent Events, with Redis-backed context caching and intelligent Gemini API key rotation.
