For the purpose of this project I wanted to collect and record dreams from a number of people, as well as document the dominant feelings induced by those dreams. The main idea was to mediate various feelings and sensations aroused by the dreams through making their physical representation in a form of a bed:
1.Stressful dream: anxiety, mess and chaos, where the bed resembles to a an office desk, and there is no chance for one to rest and relax.
2.Observed nightmare: the sensation of fear highlighted by the sharp nails installed, the idea of being observed and watched is emphasised by installing the peepholes on the sides of the bed.
3.Happy bed: soft materials (linen, cotton, wool and felt), clean and comfortable bed
