The Dream Director was a touring installation[1] by artist Luke Jerram, which continued the artist's exploration of creating art inside people's heads ("on the edges of perception") rather than in the physical world.
Participants in the Dream Director (usually 20 in total) stayed overnight in specially designed sleep pods.
[5] The question of whether a participant's altered dream could be said to be art is still open to debate, and indeed Jerram encourages this discussion.
Participants' dreams were analysed by sleep researchers at the University of the West of England.
[4] One possible outcome of this research was to see if techniques similar to the Dream Director can help people who suffer from sleep disorders such as recurring nightmares.
