Digital Dreams
March 2001 - April 2001
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Data collected in March and April of 2001. Many of the fields have been left
out. Researchers interested in the raw data can contact Richard Wilkerson
Sam had downloaded a virus, but animals were working to fix his computer.
Sally has a chat conversation, then the next day finds herself in the same
conversation in waking life. Sam is being stalked by his old computer. Randy
marries someone he met who can talk printers and fax machines, but it turns out
to be a computer. Fate was sucked into a giant back hole through her monitor.
These are not dreams we would have had a generation ago. Some feel they
reflect the changes occurring in our waking life. That is, as computers are more
of a concern and part of our daily life, they will also inhabit more of our
nocturnal life. But is there a one-to-one correspondence between how concerned
we are with computers and how often they show up in our dreams? Is there a one
to one correspondence between how much of our waking life is filled with these
objects or is there a delay in their entry into our dreamworld? The statistics
are still out, but the dreams are here for you to see and enjoy.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I was searching for dirt and I came into this house
and there was this computer there, and I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I
would do anything to be near it. It was a gray computer. It was dimly lit, and
it was like foggy, like one of those movies that is foggy the whole way through
it.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I had a dream I had downloaded a virus on to my
computer. There were little rats and other animals that were in my computer
monitor trying to restore my computer. While the bigger animals including ravens
worked savagly at destroying my C drive on my computer. The larger animals
worked like crazy to fix my computer. The smaller animals talked happily to one
another. I felt comforted when my computer screen blacked out because them
little guys were either working or sleeping on the job. There were mountains
inside my computer screen and it all looked digital, real.

Dreamers Computer Dream = from time to time i have somewhat strong
dream-experiences. my old computer (a 386, my first one)kept following me the
whole night. I saw it in my living room, the kitchen, my bedroom, an even in my
dream-garden(it was quite different from my regular garden, a lot of pigs and
oversized flowers with oversized insects). the computer did not really do
anything, it just stood there, watching me. in the end of the dream i urinated
on it and woke up.
a good dream, i realy liked the garden.

Dreamers Computer Dream = A bearded man, who is staying at my house, wants
information on global positioning systems in Mexico. I tell him I did a search
for John (a friend's husband) on this once; I'll ask him. He may remember the
information I have forgotten, because it was important to him. Or, if he can get
me a little more information on what he wants, to narrow down the search
possibilities, I will do a new search for him.
I'm sitting at the computer. I am trying to screen capture a pink panther for
something. I'm obsessing over it, spending lots of time. Then I look up GPS and
go to the page. It's telling us what to do.
Ick!!! It's tells how to build a GPS model and the description is long,
filled with icky stuff, and it's gruesome like a horror gore flick. I show it to
him. He thinks he'll do it. Then no, he says he's no good on the computer; I
have to do it. I tell him, "If I barf, it's your fault!"
I start making it and John helps. He's like a surgeon's assistant, holding
the tools as I tell him which ones I need. He's on one side and the bearded guy
is on the other, both assisting.
The floor of what we're making is weird, and this makes it hard for us to
continue. It requires big tile things, which we have. It's kind of like a Lego
base.
Then I accidentally hit the reset button and oops, it's all gone.

Dreamers Computer Dream = Several people and I are trying to find the source
of mechanical people we know are being manufactured. We are investigating a
beach house where the key people of the manufacturing company are staying. It
may not actually be on the beach, but it has the open, airy feeling and
expensive but laid-back look of a celebrity's beach home. We believe only one or
two of them are the culprits in the conspiracy.
It looks like it all began when this very good looking guy (if he isn't Brad
Pitt, he sure looks a lot like him) moved in and became part of the company. We
believe one of the women fell for him and he used his wiles to convince her to
take part in this scheme. They are the two we are after. We have pictures of
everyone. In all of Brad's pictures he looks absolutely breathtaking, allowing
his hair to fall over his eye and smiling boyishly.
I am trying to break the code on Brad's computer. His is the only one that's
password protected, which makes us reasonably sure our theory is right -- he's
the culprit, and the information we need is on his computer. The others have
given up, but I'm still working at it. Finally I break it! I used one my dad's
prescription numbers, because I believe these prescriptions are part of the
conspiracy.
Wait, there's another password behind that one! I don't even know where to
begin with this one. I give up too.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I'm somewhere with my computer and Kevan (my
boss)'s laptop all hooked up. I'm sleeping. Kevan calls and wants to know where
the hell I am! I was supposed to take him to the airport! It's 2:00 in the
afternoon and I have simply overslept. I feel so bad! My mind is overwhelmed
with the thought, "I WANT TO BE DEPENDABLE!!" I ask him if it can be
fixed. I have the strangest feeling that he was not just Kevan with his wife
Bridget, he was also my dad and Chris (my dad's wife).
I'm talking to my dad, who is ill (as in real life)and I need to do something
and Chris can't help. Maybe she's ill too. Or is it Kevan and Bridget? It's all
very confusing trying to figure out what if anything can be done.
Kevan arrives where I am, and I need to do something with the computers. I've
been trying to do it for a while. Now I have to shut them down so we can go.
Someone offers to help and they have trouble with the laptop. They keep trying
to get it to shut off. I'm running over there going, "No, I'll do it! I'll
do it!" It turns out they did shut it off, only they didn't recognize when
it was off.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I work in a basement doing some kind of computer
programming or computer work. I have just organized some kind of scientific
information into a program that makes it more accessible and easier to
understand. I'm really proud of what I've created. There are lots of helpful
features and menus. I show it to my friend Joanie, but she won't use it. I say,
"But this makes it all clear though!" I'm distressed, disappointed. I
want her to know this information, and here it is laid out so clearly for her
and she won't even look.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I'm sending an email to a bunch of people, inviting
them to have a philosophical discussion. I also send it to a philosopher I saw
at Price Club, a clean cut man in his late twenties with dark hair. I describe
the discussion as informal, where all of us can freely talk about out
confusions.
I get an email back from the philosopher saying that he doesn't mind
listening to confused prattling for a while. I'm surprised. I didn't expect him
to feel above it, but to take part and add to it. He seems to feel he is the
purpose of our meeting, the centering attraction, rather than an interesting
participant as I'd intended. He goes on to say that he tried all of the things
we were trying and they didn't work for him. He also adds that all of the
"awake people" he knows say that there are a few things that are
better since they woke up -- they sleep better and other small things like that.
This shows he's not awake then, but feels he's closer the rest of us are.
Suddenly I want to ask, how did he know those people were awake? If their lives
only change in these small ways, how does he know they're really awake? Do they
glow from the inside? Are they living good lives, what?
I want to know!

Dreamers Computer Dream = I'm in a room on my computer. I accomplish
something and then the computer is making this terrible beeping sound. I can't
get it to stop. (In real life this is my alarm going off. It went off for almost
an hour before I woke up!) There are other people here, and I think they are
wondering why I don't just shut the computer off. My reason is that I want to
end the program properly so as not to lose what I accomplished. This may be
partly an excuse for some kind of compulsion though, as I'm not sure it's
actually necessary to end the program normally in order to save my stuff.

Dreamers Computer Dream = (in real life,)I was afflicted with a severe case
of Neurological Lyme Disease for many years. Often times i found that, the
unhealthier I was, the more I would dream that I was in a computer game. When I
started to regain my health, I would be less- and-less in the game and more and
more just playing the game. Now that I am completely healthy, I do not dream
about computer games at all. The games would almost always be of the fantasy
genre, and sometimes would be like Myst or the Zork series, particularly Zork
Nemesis. That was my favorite game for a long, long time, and it may have
ingrained itself into my subconscious or someting, but I am not an expert. Okay,
so here is what I remember of specific dreams:
In one I had recently, I was in a 3-d adventure game set in a cave/mine/
dungeon type setting. I was the man from Quest For Glory, and I had to run to
escape a wizard guy. His minions were all around the dungeon, and like the more
nervous I got, the more enemies there would be. THAT is the really wierd part. I
take Effexor XR, and that augments the wierdness of the dreams. Like, there were
a lot of marroon-reds, and earth tones. There were big round temple of doom
boulders that would roll after me, then i would click my mouse on a door and
escape to another room. But I never fought the minions. (i am spontaneously
using that word, minions. sounds like minced onion. it means bad guys.)
Some of my dreams have had the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen
anywhere. That is so psychological... I have never seen these beautiful things
that appear in my dreams, like, in one, i was in this temple that obviously was
influenced by my trip to the mormon tabernacle in '97. The architecture of the
building again... it was a roughly round building, about 150'
in diameter, with
an 8-10 foot wide red carpeted spiral staircase all around the edge. as I
climbed the staircase, nuns from the temple/tabernacle chased me slowly. they
were wearing pearl-colored robes, and there were marbles somehow. like marbles
had a role in the dream. it was a computer game, but i was healthy when i had
the dream, so there were only faint traces of being in the game. i was mostly
playing it, basically.

Dreamers Computer Dream = The dream I had was many years ago when I first
started University (1995-6). I had been introduced to the internet and emailing
by a friend the summer previous and had only rlegated myself to simple searches
and emails. However, in the Spring of 1996, I was introduced to IRC along with
another friend and the concept took off on me like wildfire. I was using the
computer 12 hours a day sitting and chatting with whomever would come my way. I
did meet someone on there that I had affections for, as she did for me.
Anyways, when I went home to sleep the first few nights after I had started
using ICQ I had very stress inducing dreams that made me feel like had actually
not gone to sleep. Instead what I had found was that I was in some etherial
place, adrift in space, with algorithms, domains and voices/text (mixtures)
floating all about me. At times, the voices/text would surround me like water
and would impede my progress at trying to contact the girl whom I had met
online. I could sense that she was there in the stream somewhere, as were others
that I knew. But I was insistent on chatting with this girl and would not let
anything deter me from chatting with her. I can remember having to sift through
other people's typed messages (which there were a lot of) and try to find the
message she was trying to send me.
I would wake up wondering where I was, and there were times where I would wake
up typing and talking to whomever I was chatting to online.
As a side note, this was also a time when I was very new and into Chi
Gung/Meditation, so this could have been an actual latent ability to tap into
the (Electronic) Akashic Records.

like always just typing away when all of a sudden a message came up on my screen
saying " Virus detected" then all of a sudden i was transported into
what kinda looked like a cave where i was fighting a dragon which probably was
meant to represent the virus. Anyway I was throwing these fire balls at it and
way dodging the dragons attacks.
Anyway in the end i lost, woke up in a cold sweat and a week later a virus
trashed my computer.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I was in English Class, and the computer in the
class was on(or atleast I thought it was on), and my friend clint was on, on his
screen name which was Lantene and I wanted to respond because he was constantly
calling my name and I wasn't able to respond and then AJ from the Backstreet
Boys was in my class and he asked me what's wrong and I told him "my friend
is online and I can't talk to him" AJ was like "what are you talking
about the computer is not even on" This dream was very weird what can it
possibly mean? In this dream I was frustrated because I couldn't even talk to
Clint online and sad too because at the time I hardly spoke to him since he was
busy, or see him because he lives 1500 miles away.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I've had too many dreams to recall at the moment (I
dream almost nightly!) but I ran across this site and thought I might as well
mention the first one that came to mind. A few years ago, when my current
boyfriend was still only a friend and crush, I dreamed that the two of us were
hanging out at school in the art room (a daily happening at the time) chatting
and laughing and looking at humor websites on the computer in the room (also a
common occurence). Time passed, the scene shifted slightly so that we were
hanging out in the main part of the room again, I went to go see if any of my
friends in my favorite chat room were online and my guy friend followed me.
Grinning and horsing around, I tried to push him away from the computer and he
wrestled back, eventually picking me up around the waist, holding me over his
shoulder and walking out the door to our next class since the bell had rung. I
think my dream was showing how I wished I could play around with him more like
that since in real life (at the time) I was still extremely shy about being
close. Not sure how much this helps especially since the computer wasn't a huge
focus in it, but it was important to me since it happened at a time when we were
still getting to be better friends, and looking at common interests online while
waiting for the bell to ring was a favorite pasttime.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I have several different "flavors" of
these dreams; some are in html, in others there are only interludes of a unix
command line, and sometimes I am even 'coding' my own dream in c++.
In the first two, images accompany the code. It's as if I can see the
"movie" while the text types over it. I am always aware that I'm
dreaming during these, and they are usually what I would consider to be within
the range of 'normal' dreaming for me except for the code. They most often occur
after I have spent the workday building html files or working within unix.
The c++ dreams are a little stranger in their content. There doesn't seem to
be any waking-life trigger, and there is *no* visual imagery. I'm not aware I'm
dreaming during these. A typical one begins with being inside a program, feeling
part of the code. There is always a quest involved...something I need to or want
to do. It's just blackness, with tiny white command-line characters, and I
manipulate these until I have built the 'program' that will do whatever it is
I'm trying to do. When I ask the program to run, I immediatly wake up. The
interesting thing about these dreams is that I work in html, unix, and java. My
c++ knowledge only extends to having built simple calculator programs several
years ago; in other words, I only know enough of the language to recognize it
within the dream...not to be coding entire programs using it.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I have had many dreams about computers. They have
evolved over time. I dream about the organization of folders and subsequent
categorizing of relationships with everything. When I'm thinking about people
sometimes I will categorize what I'm thinking about them, why I am thinking such
thoughts and how that makes me feel. I think like a consious person a lot in my
dreams. I love dreaming. Since the computer is an extension of the brain, I am
very interested in organizing my thoughts much in the same way I organize files
and folders. I recently dreamt about someone I knew in my youth. This person is
destined to be vey successful. I dreamt not about talking to her, but rather I
visualized files which were all under the sub-category of this person. When I
had certain feelings, they went into a specific folder. The same with certain
thoughts. Somtimes feelings and thoughts would correspond and their folders
would be linked.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I dreamed I was part of a huge hacker organization
who were working on a project to translate a human mentality into digital
format, so they could enter the internet and crash the system that threatened
society in reality. The system was Macdonalds food franchise.
Macdonalds was buying up all the land to build shops, and when a shop owner
sold his franchise or just went bankrupt, Macdonalds would just rent out the
land, not sell it. Eventually, they owned half of all the worlds surface.
The industry that boomed the most was the computers, we (the hackers) could
not control business and politics around the world with the "realestate"
all owned by McD's.
I was just a bystander at the beginning. I just did my tasks and didn't ask
questions. Then I found out from my trusted old friend (worked in realestate)
that McD's had made plans to buy up all the computer corporate monsters
too!(like microsoft). I could not speak to my superiors about this, as I had
done something in the past to curb my credibility.
I had to take on the responsibility myself. I felt a heavy pressure upon me.
If I left it, I would regret it later. So I went into the research labs one
night, Only to find Ronald Macdonalds all circling me, like ninja warriors,
ready to pounce.
I felt very anxious and turned around and began to run. I couldn't run far as I
arrived at a blank wall. But just to my right was a case on the wall containing
a Laptop computer. I grabbed it and used it to transform (magically) the clowns
into hamburgers, that scurried around on the floor for a while then disappeared.
I then was suddenly in a dark place, when a light came on and I saw my
father(has been dead for 10 years).
He said nothing but gave me a golden medal with a heart on it and my name
engraved. He vanished and I woke up sweating profusely.
Well thats it. Hope you enjoyed it.

Dreamers Computer Dream = o.k., i had this dream awhile ago, but i'll give
you all i've got. i,m walking down the street and there is some sort of
construction going on. it's really noisy and there is a group of kids laughing
and playing. a park actually, or maybe a playground. . . but something like
that. even though the noise is overwhelming i fell kind of peaceful, zen like or
something. then all of a sudden i'm sitting at my computer in my room. ( and
it's actually MY room. which is unusual for my dreams. usually i know the place
i'm in but it's not the same place at all really. if that makes sense.)and there
is a party downstairs. there are windows behind me and even though our house is
noisy it's creepy quiet outside. i don't remember much of what else was going
on. i think there were some people in my room. i was drinking a beer and talking
with them, but mainly i was just concentrating on the computer. i was playing
that game simcity 3000 only it was intense. more inte!
nse. i'm not sure how to explain it. almost like i could reach through the
screen and touch it. only there wasn't really a screen, but there was. or at
least i knew i couldn't touch it if i were to try. i'm concentrating really hard
and all of a sudden it's like i'm watching myself and i realize it's not just a
game. that everything i had seen earlier were things i had created. or maybe
just maintained because i wasn't feeling all that in control. then the me that
was watching me was looking out the window and everything looked a little off.
sureal hazy and i felt like i was just about to remember something important,
and then i woke up. sorry i couldn't give you many visual details but it was
more of the feelings that stuck with me.

Dreamers Computer Dream = On my porch was my computer, which
was running. I head an AOL Instant Messenger sound of an incoming message, and I
predicted aloud "David", but it turned out to be the main account name
of my sister's household. The box started to appear, then disappeared without my
seeing the message. Then, a message appeared indicating that two messages had
come in at the same time, and I was to follow some instructions on the screen to
see them both. End of dream
This is actually only the tail end of the dream. The rest of the dream had to
do with being at an entrance to a bridge across the Hudson River with a highway
overpass directly above where I was standing (don't recognize this as one of the
three bridges I've used to cross the Hudson). I decided instead to take the
white bus that showed up heading west (I was originally headed east), and then
found myself just down the small hill from my house, and I could see the
computer as I approached.

in the form of themselves talking to each other in different places just as if
you were talking face to face. Instead of regular avatars that are normally used
in some chat rooms these were avatars of the actual people talking the only
difference is that all their words were in a bubble. There were alot of couples
talking and I was looking for my husband and kept seeing him with different
girls throughout the different chat rooms. That was pretty much the whole dream.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I am sitting at my computer, typing in a web
address for a shopping site.
Instead of taking me to the website, I end up at a very strange website that
I've never seen before. The opening page is black with tiny shooting shreds of
blue, green, red and gold. In bold, white letters, a message appears, that reads
"Enter Now." I click the mouse button to enter, because, for some
reason, I can't seem to fight the urge to continue into this unknown site. I am
afraid to go further, but am somehow drawn into the computer monitor. After
clicking on the white lettering, the screen color becomes a mesmerizing royal
blue with tiny silver droplets. Somewhere, far off, strains of music begin to
play, familiar to me, but at the same time, I'm unable to recall the tune. The
music becomes louder and louder. The colors on the screen begin to slowly twist
into circles, much like that of a kaleidoscope. First there is red, then blue,
green, purple, yellow, pink and orange. As the colors move faster, I'm suddenly
aware that my printer is printing page after page!
of gibberish. I try to move my hand to turn off the printer, but find myself
unable to do so. Now, instead of the random changing of colors, I begin seeing
pages of 0's and 1's, none of it making any sort of sense at all. The characters
on the screen are all different colors and the music begins to play very fast,
but very softly. The dream ends with a small blue box that says
"America online has performed an illegal error and will be shut down."
There is a red exclamation point on the box, along with two buttons. I click on
the "close" button and the screen goes dark red. In small white
letters, the message, "FATAL DISK ERROR." I wake up from the dream a
short time later.
