At first the idea of using humans voice as one of the mediums in this task filled me with fear and gave a cold chill through the whole body. As self-diagnosed misophoniac, I often have trouble staying calm or focused in response to certain, mostly human-made sounds, including other peoples voices and very much my own voice listened back to on the recording.

Luckily, this does not have to be my own voice and if it will be… I have got enough tools to modify it to the state that is acceptable by my neurones.

Dream is a very opened theme full of possibilities. Is this going to be about my dream? Or someone else’s?

I often remember my dreams straight after getting out of them, I remember every detail, smell and sound. But it fades away after a while, leaving blurred, unclear scraps of what was the scene from my science-fiction life just minutes ago.

But some of them stay for longer or even a lifetime. Can one remember the dream in the same form as it happened in the real time?

What does a cat dream about?
