Rocco Forte HotelsRome, Italy

Have you ever had a dream and thought, ‘What the fuck was that’, but when telling your friends about it later, you can’t seem to remember any of the details?

The guys over at Rocco Forte Hotels in Rome have come up with a creative solution with their new, ‘Dream Portraits,’ experience. So, not only will you be able to remember your dreams, you’ll be able to see them - kinda scary, definitely cool.

This futuristic project uses cutting-edge technology to record your dreams, interpret what happens in them and then create a physical 3D sculpture you can display on your coffee table at home.

To participate, you have to wear a comfortable headset with EEG sensors on it that’ll monitor your brain activity while you sleep. High tech software then translates the data from your brain into audio signals, which are then turned into sound waves and so on.

It sounds technical but if you can get past the fact that it’s very similar to the synopsis of a twisted, James Wan-style horror film, this project has the ability to give you an unusual glimpse into exactly what your subconscious mind was thinking during your stay in Rome.

Was it, ‘I shouldn’t have had that second scoop of gelato’? Or, ‘I wonder how many people get arrested for taking coins out of the Trevi Fountain each year’? Maybe it was, ‘I’ve eaten so much pasta, I’m turning into a giant piece of spaghetti’.

Whatever it may be, it only costs an eye-watering AUD$24,788 to see it come to life.
