A moment of calm, in your own space.

Home use by area of application
Which application suits you at home?
Preventive wellbeing
Mental maintenance at home
For people without serious symptoms who want to make time at home for calm, relaxation and reflection.
- People with a busy schedule who want to build in a regular moment of calm
- Those who find it hard to unwind after work or a full day
- Those who are curious about relaxation and imagination in VR
- People with their own compatible VR headset
Stress and burnout complaints
Catching your breath
With stress or burnout complaints, an experience at home can at most be a complement: alongside support, not instead of it.
- Those who experience busyness or tension and want to take short, defined breaks
- Those in a recovery or return-to-work programme, in consultation with their support worker or company doctor
- With severe exhaustion, extra stimuli can actually be a burden
- Not a replacement for a recovery period, support or changes at work
Depressive symptoms
Only with support
With depressive symptoms, independent home use is not the starting point. If you have symptoms, please contact your GP.
- Those in treatment who want to explore together with their practitioner whether VR fits as a complement
- Not with serious or acute symptoms: contact your GP straight away
- Dream Fiction is not a treatment and does not make a diagnosis
- Images or reflection can sometimes bring up tension or sadness

Questions
Practical questions.
Does Dream Fiction replace a psychologist?
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.
How long does an experience last?
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.
Which VR headset do I need?
For on-site demos, we bring the equipment. We will announce which headsets are supported for home use when the consumer version launches.
Can I use Dream Fiction at home?
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.
Where can I download the experience?
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.
Is the experience suitable for everyone?
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.
Home version in preparation
