Are you dreaming of problems with your hard disk, getting connected, the wrong programs coming up, not being able to find the file you want? Does your computer turn you on, and have you found yourself mating with a digital partner or cyborg sex? Has god spoken to you through your computer in a dream? Has the computer in a dream assisted you in becoming lucid?
Just as during the last turn of the century, we shifted from horse and carriage dreams to cars, trucks and jets, now we are entering a new cyber-symbolic era of networking and global interface. What dream content will remain, what will change?
Take the Computer-Dream survey and help us better understand the changing night-scape of the digital culture.
