Tickets go on sale September 13 at eleven o’clock for a uniquely satisfying and rewarding program at the Rubin Museum. The Dream-Over, which began in 2011, offers adults the opportunity to spend a special evening inside the museum, exploring the inner workings of their mind in a fascinating way. Each lucky participant fills out a Dreamlife Questionnaire in advance, giving details about themselves that will help consultants, under the leadership of dream facilitator Dr. Vanessa Sinclair, who curates the “Art and the Occult” series at the Morbid Anatomy Museum in Brooklyn, select a specific work of art in the museum under which they will sleep; hopefully the painting, photograph, or sculpture will influence their dreams. The evening will begin with a talk on the significance of dreams with Khenpo Lama Pema Wangdak and Dr. Sinclair and include lullabies and bedtime stories. Dreamers are required to arrive at the Rubin already in pajamas, robe, and slippers and must bring their own bedding. Food and drink are not allowed; there will be a midnight snack and a Tibetan breakfast. Couples can sleep and dream under the same work of art (each paying full price). In the morning, Dream Gatherers and Dream Interpreters will speak individually with the participants to figure out what their dreams might mean. Tickets for the Dream-Over sell out immediately, so don’t hesitate if you want to take part in this ultracool event.
