Dreaming with AI
Sheldon Juncker, 2023, original scientific article

Abstract: our goal is to highlight the capabilities of modern, generative aI systems using the widely used and accessible ChatGPT text completion models from openaI, focusing on how they can be used for the analysis of dreams and dream journals. We start with a brief overview of the nature of dreams, methods of dream inter-pretation, and the importance of the human-dream relationship. We explore the ways that technology, specifically aI, fits into this space and examine the ways in which aI can be used to help us understand our dreams. We progress from simple dream interpretations, to interpretations according to different schools of thought, to interpreting symbols within individual dreams, and finally to analyzing pat-terns in individual dream journals. We conclude with a discussion of the ethical concerns surrounding aI and dreams, providing insights from past technological revolutions and how they have both helped and hindered the human endeavor. We finally outline what we believe to be a practical, realistic, and hopeful vision of how we see this field progressing based on the experiments and methodologies that were explored in this paper.
Keywords: dreams, dream interpretation, artificial intelligence, gernerative AI, psychoanalysis, ethics

Dreaming in the digital age : thoughts on the tecnological pharmacon
Victor J. Krebs, 2023, original scientific article

Abstract: This article explores one way of understanding how digital media are affecting our ability to distinguish reality from fantasy, by reading Bernard Stiegler’s diagno-sis of our current cultural crisis, alongside Wilfred Bion’s dream theory. The cen-tral claim of the paper is that we can understand the technological pharmakon, its both poisonous and therapeutic nature, in terms of Bion’s definition of dreaming, as the commerce between consciousness and the unconscious negotiated by the “alpha function”. Understanding how the digital impacts our capacity to dream provides us with a tool to counteract its toxicity and to combat the thanatic im-pulse triggered by technological power. from a binocular point of view – both from Stiegler’s perspective of our tech-nical or “organological” evolution and from Bion’s perspective on the constitution of reality in dreaming – we can begin to see more clearly how to modulate our technological drive, in order to prevent the pharmakon from short-circuiting the very psychic function necessary to distinguish between reality and illusion. The paper ends with a discussion of the algorithmic effects on the living imagination in support of this contention.
