Following its theoretical paper on Oneirometry, the REMSEARCH Institute now opens its experimental Dream Kaleidoscope to the public.

Can a compressed dream be reconstructed without losing its structure? Is the problem poor memory — or the limited bandwidth of waking language? These questions lie at the heart of oneirometry and its concept of Dream Volume per Second, (OV³·s⁻¹).

Drawing on fragments from the dream archives, the instrument below generates new constellations with every turn. As the Institute’s chief engineer explains: “The instrument does not measure dreams. It demonstrates why measuring them may be considerably more difficult than we originally anticipated.”
