Final Proposal 2#

Topic: Dreams
Title: 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
- Falling Dreams
- Flying Dreams
- Naked Dreams
- Test Dreams

Problem Identification:
We have dreams 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 & Objectives:
- to experience dreams when we are awake
- to explore dreams
- to show that dreams and reality are connected

Ideation & Concept:
The installation will consists of a bed, a pillow, and an alarm clock at the bedside. A video of a human’s head sleeping will be projected on a pillow. The eyes are closed, but movement of eyes under the eyelids can be seen. This is a sleeping stage called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) where dreams occur. A hot spot will be set at the entrance of where the installation is. When audience enters the place, the hot spot will be triggered, and visual of different types of dreams will be projected on the pillow randomly and sound effects will be generated. This is to show that dreams are connected with reality. When the audience touches on the alarm clock, the dreams disappear, the human awakes and the head reappear with the eyes open.

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.
