This is lovely, thank you.
It sure looks like they were generated with Neural Style Transfer, not Deep Dreams. If it were Deep Dreams, there’d been hundreds of mutant doggies, eyeballs, and gazebos everywhere (or just very typical curved lines).

Thx Aaron. I’ve been using Deep Dream Generator, which has three options including the mutant things.

I played around with “DEEPART”.

It looks like the Deep Dream Generator page is somewhat misleading in the names: the “Deep Style” is probably Gatys’ Gram-matrix based Neural Style Transfer, and the “Thin Style” looks like one of the feed-forward network style transformation methods. Neither of those are Deep Dream methods.
What I really like about your results is that they don’t just look like the usual automatic output, they’re better and they show the artist’s hand in making them fully realized, even though the elements of the algorithms are still visible. (Unless I’m misreading something.)
The Gatys method (“Deep Style”, most likely) is this one: https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.06576

Sounds about right. 
Has a very 1960s/70s science fiction art vibe.

This video should definitely be watched at 0.25 speed.

The cover image reminds me somewhat of the dream sequences in Until the End of the World.

The gallery at the artist’s website is an absolute knockout. I visited it a short while ago and my retinas are still thanking me.

Brilliant!
This is what I was thinking as well
