Onirisme Collectif is an attempt to present the possibility of co-dream experiences through the unconscious appreciation of performances that occur during REM sleep.
This event, the 8th edition of Onirisme Collectif, was themed “Summer Sleep” and was held at PARADISE AIR, encouraging all-night co-dreaming experiences.
Summer Sleep” was inspired by both summer sleep, which means that animals sleep for a certain period of time to protect their moisture from heat and dryness, and the sultry, uncomfortable feeling of a summer night, and aimed to jump over the boundaries between the sleeping state, the waking state, and death.
