The Data and Research
The
Computer Dream Survey http://www.dreamgate.com/computers was started in 1999 and we have been collecting dreams
about computers, the Internet and digital objects ever since.
Generally the posts requesting dreams are pretty simple. Here is a
sample:
"Are
you having dreams about robots, cyborgs, androids, Borgs, robots or animated
machines? Are you having dreams of computers, programs that take on a life of
their own, dream experiences with keyboards and monitors, printers or wires? How
about dreams of the Internet, surfing, chatting, interacting with others or
online bots?
If
so, we would like to have your digital dreams for our research project examining
the shift in culture from man to machine, organic human to augmented humanoid,
analog thinking to digitally mediated virtual reality."
However,
some requests have been worked in with more speculative and analytic papers,
which are listed at the end of this article, and all are available online at the
survey site.
Listed
below are the collections from July of 2001 through September 11, 2001.
The 9-11 is such a strong psychological cleft in the collective
consciousness, I thought this date would be an appropriate cut-off, through post
9-11 dreams are also going to be significant and I will publish those in a later
article.
Note
that I am just listing the dreams here, without the extra survey information.
The raw data is available upon request, and includes information such as age,
sex, political beliefs, how participants spend time off and on the computer and
other information, which you can get from looking at the survey.

Computer Dream = I dreamt I was chatting in the chatroom I usually visit with
the boy I usually meet there when I was suddenly with him in our own p2p world
like a grassy plain nestled near a dark forest. I dream like I'm watching tv. I
see myself disconnected and I was on the computer screen with him. It was so
cool and I wasn't shocked in the least...what does this mean?

Computer Dream = dreams about computers, explaining programs and finding tasks
difficult. The dreams are frustrating and I wake up feeling frustrated and
upset. The characters in my dreams that I am explaining computers to, and who I
am unable to explain them to, are the people I work with. Everything is in
colour, but the atmosphere is sticky. The computers are old CTXs and slow. I am
in the computer room I work in and I never see anybody I socialise with in these
dreams, just my colleagues.

Computer Dream = I remember sitting at my computer, it seemed all very normal.
For some reason my screensaver came on, even though I was surfing a Dave
Matthews Band site. The screensaver
was the blackhole one on the 60s theme of Win98.
At first it was weird, the screen kept falling into the hole the
screensaver made. Everything was
pulled into a certain point that moved all around the screen.
I felt my conscience get sucked into the blackhole and I remember
reorienting myself onstage at a Dave Matthews concert.
All fear aside I took up a guitar onstage.
I remember pure satisfaction and joy when I started to play and get
cheers from the crowd. Those
feeliings multiplied a 100 times over when the whole band came out and we had
one huge jam session. The dream
ended as the jam ended. I woke up
wide awake and still felt the satisfaction and joy.
I've never had a dream so complete and vivid.

Computer Dream = I had a dream that I was already sleeping. I woke up and
quickly jumped out of bed. I hurried to my computer, which I always leave on,
and checked my email. I got a letter from someone special and was extremely
happy. It's happened twice and the emails were from different people in each
dream. It's weird but it's really the only computer dream I've ever had.

Computer Dream = I am a lucid dreamer, and have had many
dreams that I'm in a video game. I consider this like a computer dream because
for all I know I could have been on CD rom in the game. Usually it's just like a
normal life situation with real people and settings, but my goals are to avoid
people chasing me, getting attacked by large bugs, or just to survive.
One example would be when I drempt I was in this lady's house. It was a
two story home and I was in the bedroom at the time. It was sort of old
fashioned with pale pink coloring. I was trying to hide from the members of the
house, particularly the mom and trying to get out. I was afraid of being caught,
not necessarily of being there but because large wasps (bigger than my head
buzzing outside the window) and scary plants (which were leafy, but the leaves
were as rigid and sharp as razors) were outside. I escaped through a window on
the second floor to join 3 other players.
We had to avoid being stung, carnivorous plants and things. Our goal was
to reach either the river to take us to freedom and the next level or to reach
the safety of this large rock shrine surrounded by large stone tiling in a big
circle and around that about a 3 foot stone wall. It was all light brown stone
with deep carvings of things. This was like the escape, if we reached it, it
would end the game. We all reached the river, but they were swept off struggling
in the tides and I got scared and climbed to shore.
More people after me still, the daughters of the house found me (the one
had dark brown hair and in a white flowing night gown and younger than myself),
so I started running to the stone monument. The hard part was that it turned
into a giant sort of maze, not big around me, but I had to run along a certain
path in order to get it to work and it kept turning and spinning on me. I was
watching myself and her in a third person view at this time. The girl was as
confused as I was and she was very upset with my progress of course. I finally
reached the center and woke up.
I think a lot of these types had to do with playing Maniac Mansion on
Nintendo. The game was fun and challenging but it was scary at the time too. But
now I equated my life with how I felt playing that game.
Sometimes I dream I'm in my own house and I have to avoid obstacles for
points, or obviously, if I get killed I only have so many lives, but my goal is
to live and get the heck OUT of the game. So usually I have to run down the
street to a certain point, but it's dificult to get there.
I have a lot of dreams that I'm in a war too, and I have to survive and
get rid of the enemy, but it seems to go in stages, one I was in a trench and
the next I had to clear a train of enemies so I could ride to another area and
that's pretty scary. That's usually only after I play Delta Force Land Warrior
too many times.
I hate these dreams though, I wake up and they seem so pointless, like I
feel very unocomplished and wish I had a deeper more meaningful dream. Since the
time of these dreams I have been on my own and going to College for Massage
Therapy and so I must have overcome some of those obstacles my dream suggested.

Computer Dream = A dream about computers? Or how about a dream of future films.
Our movies today, how dramatic. Tomorrow our movies what will they be displaying
then? The screen locks the mind, the thoughts. Technology advancements will show
concentration, complete. A movie is a real dream. Its when you want to know how
its all going to turn out. A movie displays yourself, all movies display what we
want, what we are thinking. How about a movie from all of us, a pure movie of
the mind, knowledge of One. What is this knowledge, it is always this anwser.
You want to see a movie where everything is true to the exact point to where we
are today, you will see this movie, after death. After complete where-abouts of
yourself. Where are you? Its in the movie. Who is this 'love'? Its in the movie.
Only watch the movie.
The
dream was one only in the future. It was a high tec, HIGH CONCENTRATED film.
Nothing else existed but the truth of our movie. Our movie was of today, of our
complete reality, our complete love.

Computer Dream = In my dreams, everything is in HTML code, there are no images
except of this code, and there is no screen, it seems to be floating around me
(in this case, "me" is just my consciousness, I dont actually see
myself), on a white surface like there is nothing else behind it, the code comes
in different colours: blue, light blue, yellow, pink, red, green, but most of it
is dark blue. in my dream I seem to know that what Im seeing is the design of
the page I´ve been working on, and Im also making the code somehow...

Computer Dream = The dream started out and I was at my old house, and my mom was
like "Hank is missing" (hank is my brother).
And she pointed to like, the backyard and it was like that's where he had
been taken or something. So then
all of a sudden he was back home and we were in our house that we live in now,
but he wouldn't tell us where he had been.
Then, I saw the place that Hank and a lot of other kids got taken to.
It was very bright. (i
didn't actually GO to the place, i just saw it in my mind in the dream or
something) So then, Hank is missing again and I somehow knew of this message
board where these people hung out and they were the people who knew about the
place where the kids went. So i
logged onto the message board and I started reading some of the messages to try
to find out what was going on and then I got booted off the message board (haha).
So then I was looking around my desk and i saw light blue floppy disks
that had the label in the bottom !
right
hand corner. Everything in my room
was normal except for the floppies and well, getting booted from the message
board was kind of odd, too. Then,
after going to the bathroom to pee and drink some water (in my dream), I woke
up. I was very very very scared
when I woke up and I was worried someone was in my room and going to kill me.

Computer Dream = I had a dream about the future of mankind.
It was very interesting. The
dream showed that computers would completely replace us someday.
We would become obsolete. The
computers could do everything we do, even reproduce. The dream was not disturbing, but it made sense in a weird
way. I woke up wondering if the
world would be more peaceful.Nation

Computer Dream = I dream about the type of chat I do: graphical program called
palace. In
my real 'online' avatar collection, I use mermaids.
In my dreams, I'm really in this universe as a mermaid. I change colors
and shapes but I always have a tail. In
the dreams, I don't know the ppl I chat with, and don't recall too clearly what
we talk about. I'm usually just admiring my own form so much that I don't notice
the other "avatars" or
people. Everything else seems
"normal" except that I know I am not really a mermaid.
In the real chat program, everything is in 2-D, flat.
In the dream, everything is 100% real, most of all, my actual mermaid
body.
I
swim around in a swirl of shapes and colors, and am just plain fascinated
with the way I can move. I've
been chatting in palace as a mermaid now for years,
and dreaming that it's real seems required.

Computer Dream = I once dreamed I was in a game of StarCraft. I still controlled
the game but as a general would his troops, issuing orders to individuals. We
were Protoss, or at least they were. I'm not certain what I was to them, an
entity to be obeyed unquestionably. We won the battle against the Zerg.
Recalling
the scenario, they had the high ground, an excellent tachtical advantage. They
also outnumbered us, three broods to my one army.
Perhaps
it's because my almost omnipotent role, being able to look at the battle from a
far and zoom in on individual troops, that won us the battle.
I
don't recall 'feeling' anything. Just a sence that I must win and loose as
little as possible.

Computer Dream = As a fragment of a larger dream, I
picked up a TV remote control. I
noticed a small video screen at the top, like a calculator.
I pushed one of the buttons and the remote unfolded into a small
computer, with arms and sections of keyboard and screen sliding out from the
back. I realized that some
unidentified secret admirer (sort of a stalker, but not really scary) had come
into my apartment and modified the remote into a computer.
I was annoyed that my space had been invaded, yet excited about the
remote/computer, because it was really a nifty little gadget.
Japanese anime-porn began scrolling across the screen, which I found a
little distasteful, since my stalker had put it there, yet it was titillating,
too.

my sense of direction,not knowing if I were going up, or down?I began to panic
thinking I could very possibly drown. In my hysterical,confused state I began to
swim towards a flourescent,soft light.As i eventually arrived at the light I
discovered that the face of Yoda from STAR WARS on a monitor.Yoda was trying to
explain to me the conection between the ancient sumarians and aliens????

time sitting at the computer during graduate school."
I dreamt that I was at my computer working on my master's thesis and I
lost a very important piece of work, chapter 6.
This chapter being the synthesis of all my research.
I was in a total panic. I
kept searching in different places and it would not come up.
Suddenly my screen turned into this panoramic view of a mountain and
valley. I entered the screen.
I was somewhere in Europe and in another time.
I headed toward town. I was
on a dusty dirt road. I knew this
place! I became excited, the
learning center was here! I began
to run down the street asking the citizens "Where is the learning
center?" I came upon the
learning center, which had giant red-clay pillars out in front.

Computer Dream = I can hear high pitched frequencies, mind you, I don't dream,
haven't for years (they say it's dangerous, and can make you schizophrenic or
some other such nonsense). I do however sometimes have a sort of daydream when
I'm waking up, my imagination sort of run's away with itself (damn it for having
an affair with itself!!) and I have the closest thing to a dream as I can get.
So, the reason I told you I can hear high pitched frequencies. One night I'd
gone to bed and left my PC on, well, later that night I woke up, and as I was
waking up my little not a dream occurred. I was in a building and I heard this
piercing sound, but no matter how well I covered my ears I could still hear it.
It was MADDENING, and nothing could make it stop. The building was grey and
dark, and there wasn't another soul for miles. A few of the windows were broken
I think, and I began to run. The noise was an alarm of some sort, something of a
warning. It had something to do wit!
h
computers, IN the not a dream. Something about crashing, and their were
computers in an office that I ran by. I came completely out of it when my feet
slipped on the railing and i fell hard on my behind. Note, I have a VERY strong
imagination! If I imagine falling, or flying, or moving my body will jerk,
violently sometimes. It's even happened during day-dreams at school. If I
imagine say...punching someone (I box), my arm will jerk. So I woke up and the
noise was coming from computer. I'd never noticed it before since I usually have
music playing when I'm at my PC. I just thought it was interesting. I'd heard of
people dreaming their alarm clock was a phone or something else, but I didn't
think this would happen in something that wasn't even a dream. ::shrugs::
Perhaps not dreaming does something to oneself after all.
