Visual[]
Dreamcore, as stated before, is commonly portrayed through images and videos, which utilize different ‘base images’ such as liminal spaces, unrealistic terrain and structures (photoshopped hills, floating buildings, etc.), or even fantasy-like lands, to give the visual a dream-like quality. Dreamcore visuals are typically lighter-toned and pastel in color, or more bright and vivid. These ‘base images’ are then overlaid with different elements, with the major ones being text and characters.
Dreamcore tends to include characters with surreal features. These characters aid in telling a story or creating a scenario that one might possibly see in a dream. They also may include liminal spaces However, the use of characters is not required. Text is also a common element; it ranges from short phrases with very little context to entire conversations or monologues. It’s typically written in a generic base font like Arial, or a serif font like Times New Roman, and can be different colors, sizes and even patterns, depending on what fits the situation best. Text, like characters, is not required. Some other common features of visual dreamcore are listed below:
- Eyes, teeth and other facial features

- RPG elements (text boxes, etc.)
- Other digital elements (pop-up windows, etc)
