We all sleep and dream on First Nations lands.
Dreamy: Sleep stories from First Nations storytellers is a collection of five contemporary stories, written and narrated by First Nations storytellers, presented by Common Ground.
Common Ground invites you to take a moment to lie down under the Lightcatcher as they bring Dreamy to MPavilion, and join some of the storytellers to share their stories with you and connect you to Country.
Guests are invited to bring their own pillow, blanket, or something comfortable to lie on.
Dreamy is being presented as part of the program for UNTOLD: Marking Life, Indigenous reflections on continuing/maintaining/living rituals presented by Agency Projects.
About Dreamy
Dreamy is a collection of sleep stories by First Nations storytellers.
These contemporary stories bring an 80,000-year-old oral tradition into the digital space, helping people from all walks of life to quiet their minds, drift into dream, and disconnect from their devices by connecting to Country.
The project was created by Common Ground, Ogilvy and Snapchat.
Carmen Glynn-Braun, a Southern Arrernte, Kaytetye and Anmatyerre artist, created unique artworks for each story. These can be viewed in an animated form on the Dreamy website, while listening to the stories.
Psychologist Greta Bradman consulted on the project, crafting a sleep story brief and providing guidance grounded in her deep knowledge of psychology and mindfulness.
The Dreamy website is www.dreamysleep.com.au
Dreamy stories are also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.
