DreamNA

DreamNA

DreamNA is a VR/neuro-VR experience aiming to create a compelling database of dreams in VR. If each human being has more than 1460 dreams / year, numerous patience suffering of brain tumors cannot dream anymore due to their neurological afflictions.

The Goal: To offer support in a visual artistic project set to explore dream worlds while we collect, archive, and gamify dream narratives into interactive worlds that would portray our collective unconsciousness.

Partnering with Ioana Mischie and her team, our approach was to find people with expertise in the field of level design, VR UX, tech art.

After identifying types of dreams (Healing dreams, Transformative dreams, Lucid dreams, Recurring dreams, Prophetic dreams) the team embarked in the first phase of the project, creating a prophetic dream: The Afterlife. The premise was the beautiful story of someone who dreamed an Eden-ian afterlife home.With advisers such as Rachael Newport (UX) and Alex Baia (Tech Art) the prototype of first dream was in place.

The concept has been created by transmedia artist Ioana Mischie and produced by Storyscapes, Studioset and Neo-Fi Studios.
