We’ve finally found a place to tell everyone about that weird dream where it was snowing and we went to the shops but when we got there it was actually a film studio, but we couldn’t go in because our Year 6 teacher was there to take us to the zoo.
It might surprise you to learn that the place for that odd imaginary night time occurrence is the Museum of London, which has launched a new project aiming to chronicle the subconscious, by asking people to describe their night-time visions and experiences.
Called Guardians of Sleep and being run in conjunction with the Museum of Dreams at Canada’s Western University, the public is being invited to contribute the dreams that they have experienced during the year of the pandemic.
Guardians of Sleep will form part of the larger Collecting Covid project, which has been gathering artefacts and stories from around London since the early stages of the first UK lockdown in March. The wider project aims to reflect the voices and experiences of a broad range of Londoners during the lockdown period.
“As part of Collecting Covid, we will collect dreams as first-person oral histories with the aim to provide a more emotional and personal narrative of this time for future generations,” said digital curator at the museum of London Foteini Aravani.
For anyone wishing to take part in the project, send an email to [email protected] by January 15, 2021.
