Abstract
This essay examines the construction of an abstraced space in Outlander's season 5 finale titled "Never My Love." Reffered to as the "dreamscape" this imaginary space is framed as a visual representation of the protagonist's dissociative experience developed in response to an overwhelming trauma. The cinematic space is constructed through a combination of history, memory, reality and fiction. It exists at once outside the bounds of linear time but is also diretly informed by memory rooted in an identifiable time. This essay examines how this type of space serves characters and viewers alike, revealing in the process the ways in which nostalgic atemporal space functions as a trauma response and potential site of healing.
