Dream Archive: Live Collection

Would you like to donate your dream to the Dream Archive?

This is how it works:

Your dreams are a treasure trove of untapped creativity, and we are here to uncover their mysteries.

1.     The session is open to all. You can decide to actively participate in the session or only observe it. You can donate a dream privately during the session or choose to sign up to be the Dreamer in a future live collection session.

2.     The Dreamer is guided through a set of specially designed questions and instructions to help recall, embody and describe their dream in as much detail as possible.

3.     Each dream collection session is meticulously recorded and visual material is made preserving the essence of the dreamers nocturnal adventures.

4.     The dreams and visual material collected are stored securely within the Premonitions Agency's Dream Archive. Our team of experts will analyze your dreams to identify patterns, recurring themes, and outside events.

Dream Archive: Live Collection seeks to explore the potential of dreams in predicting future scenarios and affecting outside events. Your participation is crucial to our research and we assure you that your data will be handled with the utmost care and confidentiality. The dreams will contribute to the further development of the LUNARIS world – performances, installations and other artwork.Thank you for being part of this groundbreaking experiment.

Dream Archive: Live Collection is a performative session in the form of a participatory dream-collecting, mapping, analysis and interrogation session. Several Agents facilitate the session to collect the volunteers' dreams through a specially designed set of questions and instructions, not only telling but also embodying the dream in the space, visualising it, navigating through the dream and interrogating the dreamer to separate the dream image from the dreamers subjectivity.

The sessions are part of the performative cinematic multiverse titled LUNARIS, a fictional shared world - embedded in the ‘real’ world – developed by Andrea Božić and Julia Willms | TILT in collaboration with the Premonitions Agency in the coming years. LUNARIS will hosts constellation of interlinked works: performances, audio-visual installations and related smaller works across performance and visual art.

Dream Archive: Live Collection aspires to both problematise the trends of collecting user data under disguise of personal development, while at the same time also offering an intriguing and in-depth way of embodying, re-visiting and engaging with one’s dream reality playfully.
