I had a dream where I was traveling back in time to stop a virus that was destroying all of humanity. As I traveled back in time each stop the virus was worse and worse. Unfortunately I found out too late that the virus didn’t obey standard physics because it experienced entropy backwards meaning it spread reverse in time. What I needed to do was travel forward in time to when the infection first began to stop it and I failed.
I’ve been trying to visualize what I saw in that dream ever since using AI and until now I haven’t been able to get close.
Instead of using plain text I used the :: function, specifically necrotising-fasciitis::human which got me some good results. Using plain text resulted in an error that the image didn’t fit within the usage terms.
I did a set using a broken pixel art style which was a little closer because it was a digital virus that migrate computers to us. But the title image was a little closer to my dream image.
Broken pixel versions:
Normal art style iterations that lead to the title image (some of these are kind of gross):
Really cool pics… You have scary dreams!
My dreams are more like me being in other situations with other people, like being at someone’s house or in a coffee shop etc…
Thank you!
I rarely remember my dreams. And when I do they’re normally pretty plain things. In this case I had been reading about entropy and just finished the book Immune. I also think a helping of a lack of sleep led to this dream.
It being so different is why it’s stuck with me as long as it has.
On a side note The Three Body Problem is an amazing series that comes close without the virus aspect to my dream. I read them over the holiday week and can’t wait for the Netflix series to start later this year!
Man, I wish I could have dreams like this more often. Lately it’s just been about things that annoyed me that day so I can be annoyed by them while I sleep
Anyway, cool art
Lol, those are the best dreams…!?
And thank you!
Hey buddy. I feel you. Wanna talk about it?
Holy shit!
Is that a good exclamation? Or like “holy shit, what have you done to my kitchen!?!”
Yes! The 1st one, hehe. Both the image and that crazy fucking dream!
Thank you! And I guess watch what you read before bed on nights when you won’t sleep well…!?
Yes! The 1st one, hehe. Both the image and that crazy fucking dream!
This is like if Stephen Gammel used color in his illustrations for Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
I’ve never heard of him, I’m going to Google it now!
Edit: Wow, he’s amazing! I have a new rabbit hole to go down!
Awesome heavy metal album covers, dood!
Oh yeah, I can see that now! Thank you!
Wow! These are just incredible images!
Thank you!
