DREAMLAB is a mobile laboratory for the research and development of work with dreams and imagination in the context of the performing arts. It works as a platform where different approaches, practices and methods of working with imagination and body are used to develop different relationality, creativity and knowledge in different fields of human creation, such as performing arts, education and economy. The work in DREAMLAB is based on methods dreaming School of Images™, which evoke the transformative and emotional power of the images that arise when we look into ourselves.
S Communal Dreaming or with collective dreaming, nam Bonnie Buckner wants to show how we dream all the time and that every collective (public) picture, story, situation or event can be read as a dream that we dream in the present.

One of the "performances”, which is especially worth mentioning is the final event of DREAMLAB – “performance‘ ”Mala Kline: Dream Hostel CII”, which lasts 11 p.m and at which the audience is invited to sleep and spend the day at CII's Dream Hostel. Immediately upon arrival, participants are introduced to the practice of dreaming through imagination exercises. Participants are also given instructions on how to ask for dreams and how to remember them. When they wake up, the "performers" together with the audience open individual dreams and address the specific urgency that the dream reveals. They shape all dreams together collective dream map, which we open just as we open individual dreams and respond to the urgency that dreams reveal.

Collective dreaming it begins to reveal a different vision of community when more people are involved in the exercise, working together, than if the exercise was done with just one individual. You can leave and come back at any time during the "performance", but we recommend that you stay present, as the contracted presence encourages dreaming. DHCII is intended for all those who are ready to let themselves dream for a day and look beyond what they already know. If you think you're not dreaming, don't worry, dreams will come to you.
