About us
Changing the world begins with a dream
Our story
Why Dream Fiction exists.
We live in a time in which technology mainly helps us to do more, faster. We saw another possibility: technology that helps you to do nothing for a moment. To pause, to wonder and to look at yourself and your situation with fresh eyes.
Dreams make room for imagination. They let us step outside fixed patterns of thought and open the door to new perspectives. With Virtual Reality, we can make such dream experiences tangible.
That is why Dream Fiction is not a technology company in the traditional sense. Technology is our medium; the human experience and mental wellbeing are at the centre.

- We are transparent about what research does and does not show.
- We distinguish between general VR research and evidence for our own experiences.
- We emphasise the role of professional care and refer people on where needed.
- We do not ask for health data we do not need, and we handle privacy with care.
