Dreams. We all experience dreams. Mundane, fantastical, often surreal, they form an integral part of the human condition. Dreams usually occur while we are asleep, while others happen when we are awake, in the form of ''daydreams.'' Some we remember, while most are forgotten the moment when we wake up. There are the imaginary worlds they create, or re-enactment of past events in our lives. Even current events, and on rare occasions, future events which turnout to be a fairly accurate prediction of what is to come.

We never know what to expect. We have no control over the images, the sensations or the emotions they create, even their duration is as unpredictable. They can last from as little as twenty to thirty seconds, or twenty to thirty minutes; we cannot tell, we are asleep.

Based in and around London, some dark, some light-natured, this Collection of Dreams explores people''s various experiences of dreams.
