Format: game, multimedia

Materials: Blankets, 1 sheet of A3 paper per participant, colouring pens, music, sound system;
Accessibility: A dream journey should always be undertaken voluntarily. It should be made clear to the participants that their involvement is optional. Those not wishing to participate should wait quietly at the edge of the room or outside. The room should be large enough for all the participants to lie down with some space between them. It should also be warm enough for the participants to feel comfortable. Ideally, each person should have a blanket which they can lie on or cover themselves with.
The dream journey is a guided daydream intended to stimulate the imagination and develop new perspectives on the meaning of “good living”. Participants travel into the future in order to look back on life as they might wish to have lived it. In the course of this dream journey, they allow ideas to form in their minds about various different aspects of this life. They then create a picture depicting their visions, which is presented in a shared gallery.
