Abstract

Do humans dream of electronic and digital devices? Or are our dreams free of technology, its influences and disruptions. When technology does appear, what part does it play in our subconscious narratives? Dreams are a reflection and distillation of our daily cognitive processes and waking experiences, and ubiquitous items such as mobile phones have become part of our everyday existence. This pictorial explores subjective dream imagery and narrative concerning the appearance and user experience of technology within our subconscious.
