Michael Clune, Samuel B. and Virginia C. Knight Professor of Humanities in the Department of English, investigates the new field of dream engineering to explore the relation between our private dream lives, and the world of public discourse. In the summer of 2021, dream researchers at MIT sent Clune a prototype of their new device, which allows individuals to "incubate" dream material, and to shape their dreams. His exploration of the compulsive creativity of the dreaming mind suggests insights into the process of creation, the dreamworld of internet culture, and the fear of the untrammelled creativity embodied by dreams.
Clune is recipient of the 2022 Baker-Nord Center Award for Distinguished Scholarship in the Humanities, which recognizes the outstanding scholarship of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ faculty in the Humanities and their contribution to the University’s reputation.
