Transitional Rituals
A kit for the Oneirophobe
A kit for the Oneirophobe
This kit was designed to be used by someone with oneirophobia, or the fear of dreaming. Oneirophobes fear all dreams, not only nightmares. Many of them state that they are disturbed by the idea that while dreaming they are believing something illusory is reality. They are afraid to let go of reality and feel betrayed by the falseness of dreams. They suffer sleep deprivation because they avoid sleeping whenever possible.
This kit acts as a set of illusionary household items that the user will encounter as part of their bedtime ritual, preparing them to transition into the surreal world of dreams. It connects the two experiences of waking and dreaming into a seamless routine, allowing them to slowly ease into "unreality".
