Help & Hints

Fortune Teller = Predicts what relevant things will happen in the near or distance future
Story Teller = Tells the story of a person or people living in a world where the dream has come true.
Dream Listener = Listens for and gets excited about the dreamiest aspects of what's being described.

‍

If this is your first time playing, have the original dreamer (the person who initiated this game) play the role of Storyteller.

Pick Your Roles

Let's start by choosing roles for each player. These roles will allow for a dream dialogue that reveals the dream trying to emerge from within.

Rules

1. Have each player take up to 2 minutes to describe something they've been dreaming about lately
2. Stay focused whether you're speaking or listening.

3. Assign a role to each player (Dream Listener, Fortune Teller, or Storyteller). See the Help & Hint for this round if you're not sure how to.

*Note: For 1 Player games, take turns playing each role yourself. For 2 Player games, take turns playing the Dream Listener.

Help & Hints

As the Fortune Teller, try keeping your answers mystical and open ended... you see the future, some of it is clear, some of it is a little foggy.

As the Dream Listener, seek to inquire about the things that you believe will impact the dream being shared.

‍

Consult The Oracle

Now let's access some wisdom from the future. What's going to be true and how will it impact the dream being shared?

Rules

1. Fortune Teller: describe things that will be true in the future. See the Hint to get into the spirit of your role.
2. Dream Listener: ask questions.
3. Storyteller: listen and gather images and characters for their narrative... they're up next...

CONTINUE

Help & Hints

As the Storyteller, try to be specific, make your story about a single person, a family, or a small community. You'll find details revealing themselves if you can relate to the characters in your narrative.

‍

Tell A Story

Now that we know the future, let's put ourselves in it. Describe someone living in the dream being shared.

Rules

1. Storyteller: start telling your story. See the Hint if you need help getting started.
2. Dream Listener: ask questions only when they are hungry for more details
3. Fortune Teller: listen for ways in which the future could align to the story being told.

CONTINUE CONTINUE

Help & Hints

Dream Listener: This is where you get to shine... Speak to what made you FEEL the strongest desire and hope...

‍

Share The Dream

Now we know the future and we've heard a compelling story about how the dream can be lived within it. Let's tell each other about the dream we're dreaming together.

Rules

1. Dream Listener: describe the things that really caught your ear.
2. Story Teller: Describe the parts of the story that revealed themselves to you in the last 10 minutes
3. Fortune Teller: Update your vision of the future with the dream having become a reality.
