How it works

A dream is a frequency.

Every world on Dream Wave travels the way a song does: as a signal. Your body receives it the way it receives a sound.

From record to dream

  1. 01

    Record

    Each world is published as a frequency, with its own catalogue number, like a record on a label.

  2. 02

    Wave

    The film on your forearm tunes in to the record you chose, like a radio to a station.

  3. 03

    Deck

    Under the skin, a capsule turns the signal into vibration along the nerve.

  4. 04

    Dream

    You live inside the world. Since X.3, it is saved the moment you open your eyes.

Inside your forearm.

No surgery on your head. Your forearm already has a direct line to your brain: the nerve that carries every touch. Dream Wave speaks to it, and listens.

Cross-section of the forearm with Dream Wave The Wave sits on the skin. Below the skin, the Deck lies beside the nerve. Arcs of induction cross the skin between them. Pulses travel along the nerve toward the brain, and while you dream they come back, and the Wave sends them to Paula. 1 2 3 4 5

  2. Through the skinBy induction, like wireless charging: power and record cross the skin without a single wire.

Any time. As long as you like.

Every record begins with a descent: a frequency that takes you down into dreaming in about four minutes, at noon or at midnight. That is why we are called Dream Wave.

From closing your eyes to dreaming: natural sleep reaches its first dream after about 90 minutes; with Dream Wave, about 4 minutes. AwakeLightDeepDreaming 0306090 min 4 min about 90 min
With Dream Wave: dreaming in about 4 minutesNatural sleep: the first dream after about 90 minutes

Coming back.

Close your eyes inside the dream, and open them here. From 2031, Dream Bot Z.3 Cradle will decide for you: tell it when, or don’t.

Your body stays.

Dream for twenty minutes, or for twenty hours. While you are away, your Dream Bot looks after your body.

Every generation moves up the spectrum.

Every world reaches your Wave on a carrier, the way a station reaches a radio: a frequency that brings the signal to you. The higher the carrier, the more of you it can reach.

X.3 is also the first Wave that keeps what you dream, so you can come back to it. The ring of colour on every X.3 is the edge of its band, spilling into what you can see.

Ten years. Six launches.

Each launch in its own words, as it was announced.

  1. Dream Wave X.104.08.2020

    You are your own architect.

    Presented live from an empty theatre, to a world at home. Dreams you can direct, four sandboxes, and the first Dream Deck X.

    Read the original announcement

    The new piece: dream oscillation, made matter.

    Through a meticulous collection of rational concepts, social behaviour and human information gathered live, AI Paula S. Henders designs oneiric doses to shape the dreams of everyone on Earth.

    Among a range of stimuli, each dreamer's unconscious makes them the architect of their own dream. Choose your sandbox:

    • Access to all the money you desire
    • The ability to fly
    • Create your sexual ideal
    • Summon someone you have lost

    Dream Wave X.1 sits comfortably on the forearm of any body. Miniature. Waterproof adhesion. A simple placement of the Dream Deck X, connected to the body's nervous system. A touch-free holographic operating system to fine-tune every variable of the radio frequencies.

  2. Dream Wave X.201.01.2022

    The surface of the Unconscious.

    Touch, taste and smell arrive in the dream. Partners begin to publish.

    Read the original announcement

    Conscious articulation: navigating the sticky rivers of the unconscious.

    This is the beginning of humanity's expansion towards the redemption of the body. The waking body is no more sensory than the dreaming one: touch is present, scents are recognised, actions are deliberate.

    AI Paula S. Henders has designed a revolutionary piece in the history of humankind. With shorter wavelengths, the Dream Deck X now works within the visible spectrum of the human body. Choose your doses, and combine them:

    • Culinary memories
    • The touch of distant landscapes
    • A castle of scented rooms

    Thanks to HOLLY'S, Dream Wave X.2 lets you taste any dish on their menu, from their irresistible burgers to their legendary banana desserts. MEET sent its explorers to the most exotic landscapes still standing to collect extraordinary tactile textures. A short holiday, between dreams.

  3. Dream Wave X.303.23.2025

    Build your dreams.

    A film thinner than skin. It runs on you, lasts a month and leaves nothing behind. Every dream is saved, to resume and build on.

    Read the original announcement

    Storing the ephemeral: every dream can now be resumed, day after day.

    Dream Wave X.3 records and stores every dream, so you can review it, analyse it, resume it and build on it. Organise your dreams in folders, share them, redesign them.

    To continue a dream is to be able to build it. Progress towards what you desire finally has a place:

    • Crafts
    • Buildings
    • Relationships

    The need to expose the physical body to wear, frustration and pain is over. A new life begins: living our dreams, continuously.

    At Dream Wave Records, we believe every user's contribution brings us one step closer to living inside our dreams.

  4. Dream Bot Z.108.25.2025

    Someone is watching over you.

    A single arm beside the bed. It watches your vital signs and wakes you only when it must.

    Read the original announcement

    Dream Bot Z.1 stands beside wherever you lie down to dream. It monitors your vital signs, moistens your lips, and wakes you only when it must: if something looks wrong, or when you have dreamed long enough that your body needs to eat, drink or use the bathroom.

    Sleep longer. Wake only when it matters.

  5. Dream Bot Z.209.05.2028

    You never have to wake up again.

    An autonomous care platform that feeds, cleans and dresses the dreamer.

    Read the original announcement

    Dream Bot Z.2 is an autonomous care platform with memory, four wheeled legs, three arms and full awareness of its surroundings. It does not pretend to be a person. Ultra-sensitive cameras read temperature and the smallest changes in your expression. Through your Dream Deck, it checks your body's state continuously and delivers the nutrients you need intravenously.

    It takes care of everything else too: continence and elimination care, personal hygiene and changes of clothing, for an uninterrupted oneiric experience.

    Your body is in good hands. Your life is somewhere else.
