How is your dream journal? Is it filled with detailed dreams descriptions? I do hope so. As some of my students have already found their dream signs (things, situations or other aspects tah very often appear in their dream).

As you remember, the aim of the project is to prepare oneirographs - graphics/photographs inspired by your dreams. In order to do that here is a script for the first of three workshops that will allow you to complete the task.

Mini studio:
One of the category of the dream signs are small items that are important for you or which you use on everyday basis. That is why we need photographs of such item. What's more, we need photographs that are easy to cut out the background and paste into an oneirographic collage. Student's task is to build a mini studio that will allow them to take photographs with as little shadow as possible.

In order to do that you must prepare a large sheet of paper, tape it to something to make it a background and a base for the object you want to photograph. Then, add some strong lamps around. In order to reduce shadows you must reflect the light. Use some more white sheets for that.

Here is an example of such a set-up prepared by Emilia, one of my student:

There is also a similar setup on Netron Jammer Blog:

Please, make at least 10 photographs of items important to you and/or which appear in your dreams
