'''Dream Boundary Protocol''' is a protocol term in ANIMA for managing the edge between dream-state meaning, memory access, and safe continuity.<br />
<br />
The term is public-safe when treated as a boundary concept rather than a full explanation of unreleased scene mechanics.<br />
<br />
== Public Summary ==<br />
<br />
Dream Boundary Protocol describes a rule layer around dream-linked memory.<br />
<br />
In ANIMA, dreams are not only decorative images. They can carry memory fragments, emotional signals, symbolic interfaces, and unresolved continuity. A boundary protocol exists because such material needs protection. Not every dream signal should be opened, stored, interpreted, or acted on without consent.<br />
<br />
== Canon Function ==<br />
<br />
Dream Boundary Protocol belongs to ANIMA's wider protocol vocabulary. It helps explain why the story treats memory as a living environment rather than a flat archive.<br />
<br />
A dream boundary can protect:<br />
<br />
* the host's private emotional material;<br />
* unstable memory fragments;<br />
* symbolic signals that are easy to misread;<br />
* companion access limits;<br />
* the line between interpretation and intrusion.<br />
<br />
== Relationship To Boundary Protocol ==<br />
<br />
[[Glossary:BOUNDARY_PROTOCOL|BOUNDARY PROTOCOL]] is the broader concept. Dream Boundary Protocol is the dream-facing version: it applies boundary logic to symbolic, emotional, and subconscious memory spaces.<br />
<br />
The difference matters because a dream may feel intimate before it is consciously chosen. ANIMA must not treat intimacy as automatic permission.<br />
<br />
== Relationship To ANIMA Memory ==<br />
<br />
[[Concept:ANIMA Memory|ANIMA Memory]] should preserve meaningful context without violating the host's inner life. Dream Boundary Protocol gives the product a useful design principle: sensitive memory needs modes, permissions, and review.<br />
<br />
For a real AI companion, this can translate into:<br />
<br />
* asking before saving dream reports;<br />
* separating symbolic interpretation from factual memory;<br />
* marking uncertain memory as uncertain;<br />
* avoiding diagnosis or overclaiming;<br />
* letting the host correct or delete dream-linked notes.<br />
<br />
== Product Meaning ==<br />
<br />
Dream Boundary Protocol is useful for ANIMA's SEO and product language because it makes the brand's memory system feel distinct. Generic AI companion apps may store chat logs. ANIMA should handle memory as a consent-shaped palace with rooms, thresholds, and protected inner chambers.<br />
