WAKE UP
DREAM:IN is a unique exploration within. Beyond needs. Beyond greed. Into a world of dreams. An innovative design methodology to connect deeply with people everywhere. To create a positive personal vision. And an environment where dreams can be shared, as a nucleus of meaningful data. To find believers. To catalyse the process of value creation for society, enterprise and nations. To thereby enable and harvest dreams. DREAM:IN was conceived in Bangalore, India, in January 2011, in a shared process between design academics and practice, between Bangalore and New York, between enterprise and society. It is spreading as an ambitious plan and a massive global network of practical dreamers everywhere. Come dream with us!
An optimistic yet rational demonstration that dreams can be captured and converted into reality. The DREAM:IN first experience was in Bangalore, India, in January-March 2011, consisting of the DREAM:IN Journey and the DREAM:IN Conclave. Ten days, 101 DreamCatchers, hundreds of places, thousands of dreams On the 9th and 10th of January, 101 students and young professionals from various fields set out in 11 teams on the first-ever DREAM:IN Journey. They travelled across India by rail and road through cities, towns and villages, into the homes and lives, to learn about and capture dreams of India. DREAM:IN Conclave brought together a diverse group of Indian and international people-of talent, skill and mind. Big dreamers shared their personal vision and their dream for India. Design thinking experts helped channel thoughts and actions. Entrepreneurs lent their mercurial ability to take ideas forward. Investment experts brought in the reality check and the financial perspective. Corporate leaders helped plan the ideas better. And, creative thinkers helped fructify and express the best ideas. The result was the creation of 51 DreamVenture Ideas. DREAM:IN explores dreams and works towards realizing them. It aims to explore each individual - across age, class and income groups. Here ideas are born. Ideas that are big, original and exciting to many potential stakeholders.
DREAM:IN is a global initiative, to leverage global talent for local needs.
Jose Carlos Teixeira

START DREAMING
DREAM:IN has evolved into a vibrant local and global network involving dreamers, believers and practitioners. The movement has chapters in New York, Brazil and Sri Lanka. It has several consulting projects and individuals and institutions want to be a part of what they see as a positive peoples movement. Both its potential and methodologies are expanding. DREAM:IN is now an open system being developed by a set of design thinkers across international borders. DREAM:IN is a shared dream that has found its place on the internet where it has created its own neural network of believers from across national borders, continents and cultures. People, dreams and ideas are converging.

NETWORK
DREAMCATCHERS Outgoing, enthusiastic and inquisitive students/volunteers from across the globe who travel entire countries to capture the dreams of people. Trained in the DREAM:IN methodology by experts, they will be adept at film making, ethnography, sociology and more.
