Sleep quality and the moon

The project is magically related with the full moon. When it was born I had lived 700 full moons cycles in my life. Without knowing it I decided to create five communities of 700 dolls.

The project is also magically related to the moon as we work with sleep and dreams.

Recently scientists have done experiments to find out the relationship between the full moon and our sleep quality. A July 2013 study carried out at the University of Basel in Switzerland presented evidence that a lunar rhythm can modulate our sleep structure. They say: ‘The lunar cycle seems to influence human sleep, even when one does not ‘see’ the moon and is not aware of the actual moon phase.’

Moon and sleep and dreams and tides and water and emotions… all connected.

Dreams are like gravity

We don’t need to remember our dreams, eventually it might be useful but it is not necessary. We will dream anyway. It is like gravity, we do not struggle to be here, we just are.

We sleep, we wake up, we eat, we drink, we look for our dreams. We are happy when we find them.

This is the moment to change what need to be changed, so let’s sleep.

Dreams

Each piece of stuffing represents a dream and each of them has a different shape as we have different dreams. Each doll is stuffed with many dreams.

The dreams we stuff the dolls with are the dreams we have when we sleep. We need to sleep and dream. A massive amount of people suffers from sleeping problems, maybe as many as 20% of the world population.

There was a moment when I ran out of pillows. A friend suggested that I cheat the project and bought a new pillow. At that moment, to convince myself that I was doing the right thing, I told myself that the stuffing of the new pillow would represent future dreams. I liked the idea. However when I was choosing the pillow in the supermarket I just felt it wasn’t right. They were not ‘alive’ pillows yet. I gave up this idea. I continue asking friends to give me their old pillows. The future dreams are in the old pillows, dreamt by all of us. I felt relieved. I didn’t cheat the project.
