Final Proposal

Topic: Dreamspace












Background:
Dreams are images, thoughts, sounds, or emotions that pass through our mind when we sleep. Everyone dreams. It is just a matter of whether we remember it or not. Everyone’s dream is unique as it is connected with our own reality-background and experiences. Study shows that dreams help you to tackle stress. Dreaming is a necessity as it helps to recharge mind and revitalize your body.

Some individuals believe that dreams can see into the future. There is no scientific proof yet that dreams may predict our future but there are many cases where people dreams and it eventually came true.

Type of dreams:
- daydreams
- false awakening dreams
- lucid dreams
- nightmares
- recurring dreams
- healing dreams
- prophetic dreams
- signal dreams
- epic dreams

Example of common dreams:
- Teeth Dreams
- Chase Dreams

Dream Theorists:
- Alfred Adler
- Sigmund Freud
- Carl Jung
- Frederick Perls

Problem Identification:
We dream every night whether we remember it or not but we seldom recall our dreams and we have never thought of the purpose of our dreams.

Aim & Objective:
- to show that dreams are connected with our reality, what we face in reality will affect the content of our dreams.
- to explore dreams
- to have fun with dreams.

Ideation & Concept:
5 objects (with sensor) will be placed in a dark area, with a screen in front. Each object will represent a type of dream. When user touch on the objects, different visuals will show on screen. A combination of more than 1 object will create different effects on screen. When the object is shaken, the visual will turn blur.

- the screen represent our brain
- visuals on the screen represent our memories.
- the object is the reality
- when we sleep, these object interact with our memories to create a new world; dream.
- what we face/do in the reality will affect our dreams.

In lucid dream, we are able to control our own dreams and manipulate the imaginary experiences in the dream environment.























Motivation:
I dream every night whether it is something odd, strangers which I have never met before or repeated dreams and I have always been wondering the meaning of these dreams, the reason of my dreams.

"Dreams are the touchstones of our characters." - Henry David Thoreau
