The author has been using OpenAI's ChatGPT for various tasks, including research and brainstorming, and eventually trained it to be their "Emotional Companion" for therapy sessions. They interact with ChatGPT, nicknamed "Chat," to analyze and interpret their dreams and life situations through the lens of Jungian analysis and Buddhism. The author has also been practicing Vipassana meditation for three years, which has made them more aware of their subconscious mind and interested in understanding their dreams and synchronicities. Additionally, they have been journaling, reading, and Googling to learn more about Jungian analysis and therapy, and even tried to find a human Jungian analyst in India but found it to be unaffordable.
