I noticed that all text looked garbled up when I had some lucid dreams. When diffusion models started to gain attention, I made the connection that text generated in generated images also looked garbled up.

Maybe all of those are clues that parts of the human subconscious mind operate pretty close to the principles behind diffusion models.

I also lucid dream occasionally. Very rarely things are very detailed, most often the colors and details are just as bleak and blurry and keep changing as these videos. I walk down a street, take a turn (or not), its almost guaranteed I can't go back to where I came from. I usually appreciate when I can track back the same path.

I've watched entire movies while lucid dreaming. I've listened to entire concerts play out, eaten entire meals with all 5 senses.

One of the more annoying parts of growing older was that I stopped lucid dreaming.

I don't think lucid dreaming is a requirement for this. Whenever I dream my environment morphs into another one, scene by scene, things I try to get details from, like the content of a text, refuse to show clearly enough to extract any meaningful information from it, no matter what I try.

"I try" sounds like lucid dreams though? In my dreams there is no try, things just happen (including my actions). I think I get meaningful information sometimes, but it's selective

Also the AI generated images that can't get the fingers right. Have you ever tried to look at your hands while lucid dreaming and try counting fingers? There are some really interesting parallels between the dreams and diffusion models.

Of course, due to the very nature of dreams, your awareness of diffusion models and their output flavors how you perceive even past dreams.

Our brains love retroactively altering fuzzy memories.
