the Dream-Seat Workshop

PtW Workshop 2 - 29 January 2026 (Eli)

Score:

Love is born of curiosity, the original movement that draws self toward other.

Players:	6+ participants (1 Dreamer, 1+ Scribe/s, 2+ Inquirer/s, 2+ Architect/s)
Time:	10* minutes x [# of participants]
Tools:	1 blindfold (for dreamer); timer (for inquirer); pre-cut strips of paper & pens (for scribes); long paper, paint, brushes, pens, scissors, collage books, glue, etc. (for architects)

* Longer periods of time can be interesting for smaller groups

The Roles

Dreamer - there to dream, discover and describe

• Answer questions with as much authenticity as possible (Be real in dreaming)

Inquirers - there to open and unfold the world of the dreamer

• (If 2) Take turns asking questions

• Listen carefully to the dreamer with the intent to shape their questions like keys

• Can ask anything at all - with the intent of opening/entering “the universe” of the dreamer >> in relation to The Wild and Partnering and the PtW project

Example of a line of questioning:

• Q1. What reality have you stepped out of? . Who were you there? 

• Q2. What are you yearning for in this time together? Who will you be in this reality?

Scribe/s - there to distill the essence of the dream

• Listen carefully to the dreamer with the intent to capture the dreamer’s matter / substances

• Record keywords, key images, key anchors

• Write them each on small pieces of paper

• Pass the words to architects for inclusion

Cartographers or Architects - there to instinctively translate and synthesize the dream into form

• Listen carefully to the dreamer with the intent to channel the dreamer’s vision / logic

• Intend to tune to the presence of the dreamer, to the logic of their vision and world, to be moved by their voice and presence

• Receive words from the scribe/s

• Use them to create a diagrammatic portrait of the dreamer’s universe (can use collage, paint, pen, etc. → but must integrate the language from the scribe)

The Action

1. Decide initial roles.

2. Set up space in the following configuration. (example: 8 people):

1. Each dreamer dreams for 10 or 15 minutes. The Inquirer/s ask questions.

2. The Scribe/s record and pass their “findings” to the Architects.

3. The Architects build the world of the dreamer.

4. After the 10/15 minutes - the roles rotate.

5. Hang/Lay out “blueprints” of dreams to see, discuss, observe together.
