"The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul" Carl Jung
I believe that our collective dreams can serve as a guide to problem solving. I filmed Israeli and Palestinians describing their dreams, focusing on teenagers, children, prisoners, and poets, as these groups have an essential and symbolic need to dream.
