What’s In My Brain At Night?
Project Description
The project will tell a story of my dream of a journey as a rabbit, while it teaches my audience(children) the reason behind our dreams (Why do we dream?). On the other hand, the viewers will discover about my dream as they scroll down the webpage and interact with the illustrations by using their mouse position or pressing the mouse. In my webpage, there will be a title of my project at the top, and below it are the plot of the story or description, the interactive sketch of that particular plot and the instruction to interact with the sketch. There will be different background audios or even background of the webpage every time the viewer scroll down to a new page of the story. Some of the sketch will have simple animations as they interact with the viewer, for example, the little girl in the first page is blinking initially, and after the viewer click on her, the light will turn off and the she will close her eyes to sleep. The cursor of the mouse will be a hand, and there will be sound effect when the mouse is pressed in some particular sketches. For example, the sleeping sound will start playing when the mouse is pressed on the little girl who closes her eyes at the first page of the story.
My dream started with a rabbit that fell into a deep hole. When it seems like the hole is never ending, the rabbit dropped into a shallow pond of water. As it swims, it figured out that it can breathe in the water, and later found a huge mirror. The mirror reflected a human girl, and the rabbit thought: “Wait! That’s my human self!”. Then, I woke up from my dream.
After telling the short story about my dream, I will start the lesson with a question: Why do we dream?. Our dream represents the unconscious desires and wishes. It is an offline memory reprocessing, where our brain consolidates what we learn, remembers things, and keeps track of our thoughts while we’re awake.
