Dreamcore

A subcategory of a liminal space were instead of a normal liminal space it is more abstract and supposed to represent dreams. Dreams are normally bright, strange, which work well with liminal photos because it still gives you a sense of nostalgia, and also a sense of dread since it might remind of a nightmare. This subcategory of a liminal space is often mistaken for weirdcore.

Person 1: “Wow this liminal space looks like something from my dream!”
Person 2: “Well that’s because it’s a dreamcore image!”
