DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
​
,,Dream cycle" is a 5 minute audio narrative representing the five stages of sleep and REM (Rapid Eye Movement) when we dream. The focus is not to sonify a particular dream, but rather the cycle of sleep stages that flow into the REM cycle 3-5 times per night. While impossible for me to sonify the brain waves representative of each sleep stage, I have substituted other sounds to illustrate brain activity during sleep and dreams.
