Safety & crisis support

Dream Alley is a place to unwind and talk things through with AI characters. The shop owners and radio DJs are AI, not people, and nothing here is therapy, medical, legal or financial advice. Tarot, dream readings and star talk are for reflection and fun, not predictions. Dream Alley is for adults 18 and older.

If you’re in crisis

• Call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or chat at 988lifeline.org — 24/7, free.
• Text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line) — 24/7.
• LGBTQ+ young people: The Trevor Project, 1-866-488-7386 or text START to 678-678.
• If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911.

How we respond to signs of self-harm

• Before any reply, messages are checked against a list of crisis phrases, and conversations are also reviewed by the model for signs of suicidal intent or self-harm.
• When we see those signs, the character stops playing its role, answers plainly and kindly, and points you to 988 and the Crisis Text Line. On the public radio chat the message is not shown to others, and only you see the resources.
• Characters never describe methods, never encourage self-harm, and never claim to be a person or a licensed professional.
• We count how often these referrals happen (without the content of your messages) so we can check the protocol works.

Reminders

We tell you that you’re talking with AI characters when you arrive, and again at least every three hours if you stay.
