The dream project was developed to raise general consciousness of the importance of dreaming via an Internet web site. Verbal invitations and email were used to gather volunteer participants. The following instructions were given:

• Record in writing a recent or recurring dream, in first person and present tense.
• Express the dream with a drawing or other art form.
• Record the emotions associated with the dream.
• Study the dream-inspired artwork and provide a written interpretation.
• Provide first name, age, occupation and geographic location.
