Electrate Dream Interpretation

". . . we have a 'chaos of appearances.' The 'chaos' is a direct consequence of the simplification of language that goes with the belief in a True World." -Paul Fayerabend, Against Method: Outline of an Anarchist Theory of Knowledge (1975), p. 262 "Videogames are art. In order to value videogames as art, or a cultural force, we need to understand how the video game avant-garde works."-Jay David Bolter, "Videogames as Avant-garde Art" (2014), p. 1 "It is no longer of any importance what signs reveal. They billow and float, pool and gather, arbitrary and useless." Mackenzie Wark, Gamer Theory (2007), p. 42 "We should perhaps do well in certain cases to make allowance for absolute irrationality even if, on heuristic grounds, we approach each particular case by inquiring into its causality."-Carl Jung, On the Nature of Dreams (1945), p. 5 "Explanations lend a false unity, homogeneity, universality, to a heterogeneous body of materials, ignoring or sublating real differences in the interest of an artificial verisimilitude of plausibility."-Gregory Ulmer, "One Video Theory (some assembly required)" (1995), p. 253 "What is true is not real; what is real is not true."-Mackenzie Wark, Gamer Theory (2007), p. 32 "Games teach players how to engage and optimize systems as well as how to manage their desire in a contemporary world. This makes the world of games a principal site to expose, unwork, and rethink the protocols and rituals that rule technoculture."-Jay David Bolter, "Videogames as Avant-garde Art" (2014), p. 4 "But how do we arrive at a plausible meaning and how can we confirm the rightness of the interpretation? One method-which, however, is not scientific-would be to predict future happenings from the dreams . . ."-Carl Jung, "On the Nature of Dreams" (1945), p. 8
