Dreams, what are they made of? Apparently, Zoomers posting videos on TikTok. In actuality, dreams have deep history in the human imagination. As the Internet is an electronic nervous system, dreams, today, then take form on the Internet: Dreamcore. Dreamcore is an "Aesthetic" or an aesthetic product of the "Aesthetics Wiki". The idea is to develop an ersatz appearance of dreams in images, art, and music on the Internet. There have been plenty of videos analyzing the current moment, but what about the obscure history beneath the data of Dreamcore?
Dreamcore asserts an existence in a sort of pastel uncanny. This uncaniess is as old in philosophy as Plato. Plato, in the Timaeus, asserted a theory of dreams, shapes, and forms. Humanity appears to still be wrangling with the "Timaeus Dream" to this day. The writer Jorge Luis Borges asserted there was something sublime associated with the nightmare as expressed in William Wordsworth's "The Prelude". The artist Odilon Redon, in the gothic and the pastel, believed mysticism, science, and the paranormal could be united in dreams. Then musicians such as Brian Eno have long toyed with the line between the unconsciousness and subconscious. Is this all Freud or Jung's psychology? It remains unclear and crosses, beyond human limits, into the sublime. The roots of Dreamcore are far older than 2020 on TikTok.
