This project was based on dreams and is a combination of my and other peoples dreams. Dreams displayed from top to bottom

1.  This was a mixture of, a reoccurring dream where I have to hold my breath. The longer I hold my breath the longer the dream lasts when I do breathe it repeats. The dream is about swimming and is the same every time. Though weirdly I don’t remember anything in detail about it. and I had a dream about a space whale cult that knocked on doors to get people to join them on the ship. They followed a member who got stuck off the ship after it left without them”. 
2. I was walking around a place I knew but I have never been to I wasn’t me in it I was a younger me. I felt followed. I found an endless staircase I still found watched, juggled and scared. But I kept going deeper.
3. There was a pirate ship on top of a cliff and my nephew (I don’t have a nephew) and we had to do tasks to get up to it. I want this to be the frottage piece since I think it would work well as part of the cliff, by using machine embroidery this would be great for texturing the cliff and I could add potentially secret dream images
4.  I was in a shop but instead of selling normal clothes it sold these amazing dresses that kind of remind me of alternative fashion you see in Brighton. The interesting part was that I suddenly noticed this enormous tapestry behind the clothes racks, of all these women swimming in a lake. The water was pale blue and really clean looking, and all you could see were the women and their heads as they came up from the water. On top of their heads were lily pads.
