What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself. | What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night?

I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups. | I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book.
