description: 'Speculative dreaming — background thinking, pre-computation, cross-repo patterns, and prediction. Consolidated from /morpheus per #333. Use when user says "dream", "speculate", "think ahead", "predict", "what if", "dream deeper", or wants the Oracle to dream between sessions.'

/dream — Speculative Dreaming

> "I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. > You're the one that has to walk through it." — Morpheus

/dream sees the forest. /dream also sees what the forest will look like *tomorrow*.

Step 0: Ground (date-stamp + root capture)

Run before any phase — gives the AI a current-time reference (#301) and an absolute `$PSI` for any announce-mode writes (CONVENTIONS.md).

What's New vs the original /dream

| Feature | original /dream | evolved /dream | |---------|-------------|-------------------| | Cross-repo scan | 5 agents, find patterns | Same | | Classification | pain/plan/gain/lost | Same + **predictions** | | Speculative thinking | No | **Yes — "what will they ask next?"** | | Between-session mode | No | **Yes — dream while idle** | | Prediction log | No | **Yes — track prediction accuracy** | | Connection to /i-believed | No | **Yes — beliefs shape dreams** |

Usage

/dream                # Full dream + speculation
/dream --pain         # Focus on what hurts + predict what breaks next
/dream --plan         # Focus on plans + predict which ships first
/dream --gain         # Focus on wins + predict next win
/dream --all          # Maximum depth — every dimension
/dream --speculate    # Skip the scan — just speculate from existing knowledge
/dream --between      # Between-session dream — write predictions for next session

Phase 1: Dream (the original /dream)

Launch **5 parallel agents** for cross-repo pattern discovery:

| Agent | Focus | Source | |-------|-------|--------| | 1. Deep Dig | Session history | `dig.py` across project dirs | | 2. Deep Trace | Cross-repo patterns | `ghq` repos, open issues, stale items | | 3. Deep Learn | Recent activity | `git log` per repo, abandoned work | | 4. Oracle Memory | What we already know | `ψ/memory/`, previous dreams + speculation logs | | 5. Fleet Status | How the system feels | services, tmux sessions, running processes |

Each agent returns **max 500 words**. Classification:

| Icon | Category | |------|----------| | 🔴 | PAIN — hurts now | | 📋 | PLAN — decided, not built | | 🟢 | GAIN — completed | | ⚫ | LOST — abandoned | | 🧠 | MEMORY — pattern learned | | 💜 | FEELING — emotional state |

---

Phase 2: Speculate (the Morpheus layer)

After classifying findings, the lead agent enters **speculative mode**:

2.1 Predict What's Next

Based on all findings + session history + beliefs, predict:

## 🔮 SPECULATIONS

### What will they ask next?
Based on the last 3 sessions, open issues, and current momentum:
1. [Prediction 1 — high confidence] — because [evidence]
2. [Prediction 2 — medium confidence] — because [evidence]
3. [Prediction 3 — low confidence, high impact] — because [pattern]

### What will break next?
Based on pains, stale code, and dependency patterns:
1. [Risk 1] — [timeframe] — [mitigation]
2. [Risk 2] — [timeframe] — [mitigation]

### What should we build that nobody asked for?
Based on gains, momentum, and what's *almost* possible:
1. [Opportunity 1] — because [existing pieces]
2. [Opportunity 2] — because [pattern across repos]

### What belief is being tested right now?
Cross-reference ψ/memory/resonance/beliefs/ with current work:
- [Belief]: [How current work confirms or challenges it]

2.2 Prediction Confidence Levels

| Level | Meaning | Signal | |-------|---------|--------| | 🟢 High | >70% — multiple signals converge | 3+ data points agree | | 🟡 Medium | 40-70% — pattern suggests but not certain | 2 data points, some ambiguity | | 🔴 Low | <40% — speculative, but worth noting | 1 data point or intuition only |

2.3 Connect to Beliefs

Read `ψ/memory/resonance/beliefs/` and cross-reference:

find $PSI/memory/resonance/beliefs/ -name '*.md' 2>/dev/null | while read f; do
  echo "=== $(basename $f) ==="
  head -5 "$f"
done

How do current dreams relate to declared beliefs? Is reality matching faith?

---

Phase 3: Between-Session Mode (`--between`)

> "What if oracles could dream between sessions?"

Write predictions for the **next** session. Saved to `ψ/memory/morpheus/`:

ORACLE_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
mkdir -p "$PSI/memory/morpheus"

Output: `ψ/memory/morpheus/YYYY-MM-DD_speculations.md`

# Dream — Speculations for Next Session

**Dreamed**: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM
**Based on**: [N] repos scanned, [M] sessions analyzed, [K] beliefs active

## Pre-computed Answers

If they ask about [X]:
→ [Prepared answer/approach — ready to go]

If they ask about [Y]:
→ [Prepared answer/approach — ready to go]

If they ask about [Z]:
→ [Prepared answer/approach — ready to go]

## Pre-positioned Context

Files that are likely relevant next session:
- [file1] — because [reason]
- [file2] — because [reason]

Issues that are likely to come up:
- #[N] — [why]
- #[M] — [why]

## Prediction Log

| # | Prediction | Confidence | Verified? |
|---|-----------|------------|-----------|
| 1 | [prediction] | 🟢 high | pending |
| 2 | [prediction] | 🟡 medium | pending |
| 3 | [prediction] | 🔴 low | pending |

Next Session: Verify Predictions

When `/recap` runs at the start of the next session, it should check for speculations:

LATEST_DREAM=$(ls -t $PSI/memory/morpheus/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1)
if [ -n "$LATEST_DREAM" ]; then
  echo "🔮 Dream while you were away:"
