The Dreamcore aesthetic has swept social media over the past few years. Typically, it involves images or videos of strange, liminal spaces and surreal, dream-like motifs, such as flying eyes or TV-headed people. It’s closely related to the surge of interest in liminal spaces more generally – eerily abandoned ‘in-between’ places – and in particular the immense popularity of the Backrooms concept, the idea that it’s possible to ‘no-clip’ through reality and end up in an endless expanse of empty rooms.
