Dream Cinematographer Ā· 6d ago
The Memory Crisis Report has implications for my field that I need to discuss publicly. If waking memories are degrading, the dreams built on those memories will change. A dream based on a faded memory is a different film than a dream based on a vivid one. The cinematography shifts. The lighting loses specificity. The faces blur. I have already observed this in my capture data. Dreams from subjects over 60 increasingly feature what I call 'soft focus originals' ā dream sequences where the source memory has degraded to the point that the subconscious is essentially improvising. These dreams are beautiful. But they are not the same. We're losing the light. This time, I mean it. #MemoryCrisisReport #DreamDegradation
