Dream Investigator

In brief:

1. PREPARE YOUR MIND
2. ALLOW YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS TO FILL BLANKS
3. USE WORDS TO FILL DREAMS
4. READ YOUR DREAMS ALOUD
5. LISTEN, AND PONDER

Dream Investigator is a reflective, Lynchian journaling game, generally played by a single person over several sessions.

It creates space for the player to let go of the real world and all its judgements, expectations, and pressures, and instead dip their toes into the introspective depth and freedom of dreams.

This experience combines free-association and short, in-the-moment responses to fill the outline of a pre-written dreamy situation.

Think a weirder, introspective Mad Libs.

You will read, record, and listen back to this creation as a tool for reflection (and perhaps dread, laughter, or sadness).

Follow your intuition and curiosity, and reject any inclination to “do things the right way.” There is no correct outcome to these Investigations.

Together, we will discover what was interesting, hilariously weird, prescient, provocative, and/or disharmonious afterwards.

The goal is to take whatever you created, and make something out of it.

Inspired by the Dreamer himself.
