A dream visualisation log.

This project explores how people are connected through dreams and their collective themes by visualising and recording the dreams of multiple people. The artefact is a ring binder working as a filing system that logs each dream with an individual concertina. Inside each concertina, scenes from the dream are visualised with a surrealist collage style focusing on taking real-world imagery and arranging it into something imagined. By gathering dreams together inside one folder, the audience can also begin to search for similarities and differences in the themes and images from the dreams of others through categorisation with designed symbols.
