By late afternoon, Ophelia had a full chapter—one that began with a coffee spill and ended with a secret society’s cat‑coded message. She saved the document, titled it and added a tiny note at the bottom: Written with Milo’s purrs, edited by Twitter.

– 5:02 PM “Finished Chapter 3 thanks to a spilled latte, a purring cat, and a community of wonderful strangers. If you ever doubt the power of a good purr, just remember—every great story needs a little cat‑itude . 🐾❤️ #WritingCommunity” ophelia purr twitter

: She frequently uses feline-inspired puns and "kitty" themes, referring to her fanbase and herself in this "purrsona".

As a former Tumblr user, she carries over many of that platform's sensibilities: text-heavy memes, deep-cut fandom references, and an appreciation for moody, aesthetic photography. – 9:45 AM “Milo just typed ‘MEOW’ into my manuscript

She began typing again, but this time she let Milo’s purr guide her rhythm.

Ophelia’s inbox buzzed. She felt the story unfurl, each new idea weaving itself into the manuscript like threads in a tapestry. She saved the document, titled it and added

"We launched Dream:ON at the 2012 Edinburgh International Science Festival. Over the past two years, over half a million people from around the globe have downloaded the app and we have amassed more than 13 million dream reports. We have just analysed the first batch of this data and the results are fascinating.

Our data does show that peoples' dreams are indeed influenced by them choosing different soundscapes. If someone chooses a nature landscape (e.g. 'Peaceful Garden' or 'Relaxing Rainforest') they tend to experience dreams that involve greenery and flowers. In contrast, when they select a beach-type soundscape (e.g. 'Ocean View' or 'Pool Party') they are more likely to dream about the sun beating down on their skin."

The app also influences the emotional tone of the dream, with the nature soundscape creating dreams that are especially positive, and the city soundscape producing more bizarre dreams.

The final dream of the night influences people's morning mood, and so making that dream more positive may well help thousands face the day with a smile on their face.

In addition, sleep scientists have long known that the dreams of those diagnosed with depression are especially long, frequent, and negative. It's possible that dream influence will become a radically new therapeutic tool in the fight against depression. It's early days, but we're very excited about the potential power of dream control.

"Another aspect of our results suggests something rather strange. A few years ago, neuroscientists from the University of Basel discovered that people experience more disturbed sleeping patterns around the time of a full Moon...

Our Dream:ON data most definitely contains a similar pattern when the lunar calendar is overlaid. More bizarre dreams are being recorded on the app when there is a full moon!"
