> The images remind me of one of my dreams (...)

A lot of dreams scenery seems to throw logic and reasoning out of the window. Even small sensory inputs can make a huge difference to a dream sequence. And in many case they don't make sense even in the context of the dream.

I haven't personally experienced any hallucinations myself, but some DALL-E images seem awfully familiar to what some people describe.

I know that comparisons between brains and machine learning (including neural networks) are superficial at best, but I still wonder if DALL-E is mimicking, in its own way, a portion of our larger brain processing 'pipeline'.
