Frascati, 18-20 February 2025

Have you ever wondered about the untapped potential of your dreams?

Welcome to the Dream Archive: Live Collection – public dream collecting sessions. This initiative aims to collect citizens' dreams and analyze them to predict possible future scenarios and affect outside events. TILT is excited to collaborate with the Premonitions Agency as part of the development of the LUNARIS world. All audiences are welcome to the public sessions. Watch a dream unfold in front of your eyes!

Would you like to donate your dream to the Dream Archive?

Your dreams are a treasure trove of untapped creativity, and we are here to uncover their mysteries.

This is how it works:

1.     The session is open to all. We initiate the session by collecting the written dreams to add to the archive. If you do not have a dream to donate, you are still welcome to join the session.

2.     One Dreamer is selected from the previous sessions whose dream is treated in-depth in the session. The Dreamer is guided through a set of specially designed questions and instructions to recall, embody and describe their dream in as much detail as possible.

3. You can sign up to be the Dreamer in one of the future sessions.

4.     Each dream collection session is meticulously recorded and visual material is made preserving the essence of the dreamers’ nocturnal adventures. The collected material is stored securely within the Premonitions Agency's Dream Archive. Our team of experts will analyze your dreams to identify patterns, recurring themes, and outside events.

Dream Archive: Live Collection seeks to explore the potential of dreams in predicting future scenarios and affecting outside events. Your participation is crucial to our research and we assure you that your data will be handled with the utmost care and confidentiality. The dreams will contribute to the further development of the LUNARIS world – performances, installations and other artwork.Thank you for being part of this groundbreaking experiment.

Dream Archive

Dream Archive: Live Collection is a performative session in the form of a participatory dream-collecting, mapping, analysis and interrogation session. Several Agents facilitate the session to collect the volunteers' dreams through a specially designed set of questions and instructions, not only telling but also embodying the dream in the space, visualising it, navigating through the dream and interrogating the dreamer to separate the dream image from the dreamers subjectivity.

The sessions are part of the performative cinematic multiverse titled LUNARIS, a fictional shared world - embedded in the ‘real’ world – developed by Andrea Božić and Julia Willms | TILT in collaboration with the Premonitions Agency in the coming years. LUNARIS will hosts constellation of interlinked works: performances, audio-visual installations and related smaller works across performance and visual art.

Dream Archive: Live Collection aspires to both problematise the trends of collecting user data under disguise of personal development, while at the same time also offering an intriguing and in-depth way of embodying, re-visiting and engaging with one’s dream reality playfully.
