Wading Thru Dreams, 2gether

Artwork by @darynci

how do nightly dreams weave into waking life at the individual and collective level?
what does it feel like to tune into dreams through listening practices?

participants are invited to drop into the breath, soften their gaze, and reflect on the
multifaceted nature of dreams as they relate to our senses, inner realms and the world around us.
using gathered texts as a scaffolding, this session brings together readings, guided
reflection/listening exercises and partnered discussions in an intimate, restorative space 🐚

ONEIRIC SPACE is a research and publishing practice exploring the interplay between dreams and waking life. Centered on conversations and experiments, ONEIRIC SPACE delves into the potential of dreams to gesture towards new patterns of being, feeling, and thinking together. Currently, our research is shared through gatherings, a newsletter, publications, and an online interview archive.

Siestaria is an ongoing artistic research project that can take various forms, including workshops, installations, and dream concerts. The project focuses on the ideas of dream listening, dream translation, and oneiric cartographies. Each event is captured and stored on this website, creating a communal and fictional map that expands and intertwines with each new addition. Through this map, dreamers can connect with each other, even if they have never met before. Siestaria is constantly evolving and adapting to present needs, serving as a dynamic and intimate space.
