Mindscape or Virtual Reality Dreamscape
Many people think dreams unreal only because they are not material. That is true. However, they are made of real things such as viewpoints, imageries, memories, and lost hopes. Mindscape can be explained as a mental or psychological scope of imagination. The word is most applicable to the field of psychology. Mindscape is a two-rooted word combining “mind” and “escape”, and it can be interpreted as a mind attempt at escapism into a different reality or a spiritual world. This adventure, however, can be very well accomplished within the boundaries of the actual world.
Escapism is a very common thing about humans, or is it? We generally use this idea to identify normal from out of the ordinary, as an escaping from reality. Depression sufferers are said to escape from facts, hallucinations have nothing to do with reality – we are very quick to judge and evaluate. But once again we are back to an eternal issue of defining normality. No one has ever been able to produce a well-substantiated answer to what is normal because the answer doesn’t exist. Our imagination is larger than any possible science-laden picture of normality. We are doomed to fill in the gaps of a greater picture in a non-restricted fashion of a potential nutcase. Humanity is still evolving, and a thin line between abnormality and standard is becoming even thinner. Even in psychiatry it is more acceptable now to speak about personality disorders rather than diseases. So, next time you’re just about to jump to conclusions about someone weird, take a deep breath and count to ten. We’re in the same boat. Row, will you?

Note by Claudia C. ”I am a PhD honorary fellow researcher at the Institute of Behavioral Neuroscience at University College London, working for the Spatial Cognition Group under Hugo Spiers' supervision (you can check his name out for your personal reference). I am writing since, in one of our spatial cognitive experiments with humans, we employed your 'dreamscape' image to assess visuospatial abilities and reactions to 2D representations of (sur)real environments. Now we are in the middle of writing an academic paper to publish on an online journal and we would appreciate if you could let us publish the picture and know if special requirements for the publishing are needed. If this is the case we would move accordingly. We can ensure you that our purposes are solely academic and strictly non-commercial. ”
