2026-2027

Dreams

Bridging the fantastical, physical, and the mystical, dreams are replete with symbolism, wisdom, and truth-telling. Dreams can manifest ideas, generate visions, reshape memory, draw on emotions, and offer glimpses of future selves. Dreams also take many shapes--they can be wildly creative in a positive sense as well as harrowing or apocalyptic and come in the form of nightmares. Soon, we'll discover the topics and approaches taken up by this year's Symposium partners. . .
