Dreams contain multitudes - we help find pattern and connection. Collective Unconscious is the open-source archive of dreams collected from the Dreamcatcher 2.0 story booth. We map themes and key dream images and map insights on the commonalities and trends that emerge.
Using the dream data, we illuminate the imagination and archetypes that underlie our collective dream state. Dreams are the original narratives, and a deeper understanding can help precipitate personal and social change.
Dreamscape is a cross-platform investigation of dreams and sleep that ina mobile dream collection initiative, a dream story archive, a collaboration at San Francisco’s de Young Museum and a Podcast (pending). Everyone dreams, and Dreamscape provides a toolkit for connecting with the insights, imagination, and stories that dreams can provide.
Dreamcatcher 2.0 is a peripatetic storytelling space dedicated to the act of sharing, connecting with, and preserving dreams. While stationed in unexpected public locations, Dreamcatcher 2.0 provides an intimate context for participants to share and interact around their dream narratives. We help participants draw connections between their private visions and the passions and motivations that drive their professional and public lives.
What happens when we dream together? Circadian Media Lab collaborated with Natalie Zimmerman and Michael Wilson during their Social Dream Lab residency at the De Young Museum. Our workshop sessions, Dreamwork for Artists, invited artisans and makers to delve into the creative potential of the dream experience. Together, we helped build a platform for sharing, imagining, and reconfiguring the social elements of our dreams
