A new path to mental maintenance, recovery and growth.

Dream Fiction creates immersive Virtual Reality experiences that offer room to relax, reflect and discover new perspectives. We combine immersive worlds, sound and guided reflection. Technology is our medium; the human experience and mental wellbeing are at the centre.

Just as you pay attention to your physical health, you can consciously make time for your mental wellbeing: moments of calm, reflection and recovery. A VR experience can give structure to such a moment. It is not a treatment, but a way to pause.

We mainly work with organisations: occupational health services, HR departments and employers, youth wellbeing organisations and healthcare professionals. We are also preparing a version that you can use at home with your own VR headset.

Dream Fiction can play a complementary role alongside recovery and support, for example as a moment to relax and recognise tension. Recovering from burnout usually requires broader changes, enough recovery time and professional support. With burnout complaints, please agree on use with your company doctor or healthcare professional.

Research into VR for depressive symptoms is developing and gives positive indications, but our own experiences have not yet been clinically validated. Dream Fiction is not a treatment for depression. We see the most value in use within programmes under professional supervision. If you have depressive symptoms, please contact your GP.

No. Dream Fiction is intended as complementary support for mental wellbeing and does not replace a psychologist, GP or other healthcare professional. With serious, persistent or worsening symptoms, professional help is important.

VR can immerse you completely in a designed environment. Your attention can then shift from everyday distractions to image, sound and guidance. Research points to possible short-term effects on stress and relaxation. At the same time, VR is not suitable for everyone and the evidence is still developing.

The length varies by dream experience and application. In scientific research, VR relaxation moments often last between 6 and 20 minutes. We will announce the exact length of each Dream Fiction experience once the product versions are final.

For on-site demos, we bring the equipment. We will announce which headsets are supported for home use when the consumer version launches.

We are working on a version for home use with your own compatible VR headset. It is not available yet. Would you like to stay informed? Send us a message via the At home page.

At the moment, Dream Fiction cannot yet be downloaded from an app store such as the Meta Horizon Store, Steam or SideQuest. As soon as that changes, you will find the links on our At home page.

Fill in the demo form. We will contact you to schedule a time when we visit, show you the experience and discuss together what suits your organisation and audience. A demo is free and without obligation.

Yes. The current dream experiences show what is possible, but they are not a fixed end point. For specific audiences, complaints or collaborations, we can develop an adapted experience, in terms of worlds, storyline, music and interaction.

We build on research into VR for relaxation, stress and mental health, including randomised studies and systematic reviews. That research is about VR in general, not about Dream Fiction specifically. On our scientific background page, you can read what is known, and what is not yet known.

No, not for everyone. VR can cause dizziness, nausea or discomfort and can bring up tension in some people. Take care if you have epilepsy or sensitivity to flashing lights, balance problems, are pregnant or have serious mental health symptoms, and consult a doctor if in doubt. Not feeling well? Stop straight away.
