A space to dream

As part of my job at ABC Open I created a space called The DreamBox with my Gold Coast colleague, Solua Middleton. We took our Box to the Bumehla Festival yesterday and invited people to chalk-up their dreams and be photographed.

I glued sequins in constellations on a backdrop, actually cut out the boards with Solua's dad and we donned sparkley top hats as 'The Dreamcatchers'.

The results are gorgeous. And I see the dreambox as giving people permission and encouragement to dream. Someone said he liked that we were listening to people's dreams.

I think chalking up your dream and having it photographed may help it come to life. Maybe next time we'll print them out, laminate them so people can keep them in their backpocket.

I know that writing down goals helps you to achieve them ... I hope it is the same with dreams!
