I would also add that the fear responses, while participating in the hallucinations, aren’t themselves hallucinated, not any more than wakeful fear is hallucinated, at any rate. They’re just emotional responses to the contents of our dreams.
I disagree with this statement. For me, the contents of a dream seem only weakly correlated with whether I feel afraid during the dream. I’ve had many dreams with seemingly ordinary content (relative to the baseline of general dream weirdness) that were nevertheless extremely terrifying, and many dreams with relatively weird and disturbing content that were not frightening at all.
I wonder if you could get it to generate Minecraft screenshots, such as:
A log cabin in a a clearing in a dark forest, as a screenshot from Minecraft
It would also be interesting to see how “as a screenshot from Minecraft“ combines with other styles:
A wagon caravan approaches a ruined city in the desert, as a Miyazaki anime, as a screenshot from Minecraft
You could also append “as a screenshot from Minecraft” to more abstract prompts, for example:
A machine that harvests luck from four leaf clovers, as a screenshot from Minecraft
Finally, some other miscellaneous prompt ideas:
RGB color model and CMYK color model as sculptures on a stone pedestal
