Abstract
Ever had déjà vu, not knowing if something happened IRL, online or in your dreams? As screentime and sleep time increasingly clock similar hours of the day, we’re turning our attention to the acute relationship between dreams and the internet.
We invite critical work inspired by, but not limited to, any of the following topics:
☁︎ sleep procrastination and social media
☁︎ cloud hoarding
☁︎ the return of the (digital) repressed
☁︎ the memetic unconscious
☁︎ distraction as dream economy
☁︎ ghosting (and the metaphysics of digital presence)
☁︎ sleep texting
☁︎ hyperreal environments & nonspaces as dreamscapes
☁︎ online dream journaling communities
☁︎ targeted ads as unconscious desires
☁︎ chaos edits as dream realism
☁︎ artificial intelligence and dreaming
☁︎ interactive & lucid dreaming
☁︎ digitally-induced parasomnias
☁︎ dream imaginaries and political im/possibility
☁︎ neural net neurosis
☁︎ image spam and cyber garbage as psychic discharge
☁︎ oceanic feeling online
☁︎ dreams in augmented and virtual realities
☁︎ video game realities and dream framing
☁︎ online shopping and astral projection
☁︎ cognitive timelapse and digital intimacies
☁︎ corecore and collaging the cultural unconscious
☁︎ dream scanning as the next cyber frontier
☁︎ avatars, dreams and shadow selves
☁︎ (rip) twitter dream sharing
☁︎ movie and/or fictional representations of dreams and the internet
☁︎ typographic parapraxis (poetics of the typo as freudian slip)
☁︎ affective ecologies of the comment section
☁︎ recalibrating platforms/digital detournement
☁︎ dead internet theory as dreamscape
☁︎ online dream interpretation communities
☁︎ folk hauntology and web 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0
