Complementary support

Dream Fiction has been developed as complementary support for mental wellbeing. The VR experiences do not replace professional psychological or medical treatment and are not intended to diagnose or treat a mental health condition. Do you have serious, persistent or worsening symptoms? Please contact your GP or a qualified healthcare professional.

Dream Fiction is not a medical device and not an emergency service. The experiences have not been clinically validated. On our scientific background page, you can read what research on VR does and does not show.

Using VR safely

• VR can cause dizziness, nausea, tired eyes or discomfort. Stop straight away if you do not feel well.
• Some images or moments of reflection can bring up emotions or tension. You can always stop.
• Use VR seated or in a clear, safe space without obstacles.
• Take care if you have epilepsy or sensitivity to flashing lights, balance problems, are pregnant, or have serious mental health symptoms. If in doubt, consult a doctor.
• Always follow the headset manufacturer’s safety instructions and age guidance.

Not suitable for everyone

Not every experience is suitable for everyone. With burnout complaints, depressive symptoms or other mental health symptoms, preferably use them in consultation with a healthcare professional. For children, the headset manufacturer’s age guidance applies. [Confirm the minimum age per experience.]

About the scientific evidence

Where we refer to research on this website, it concerns research on VR in general or on VR interventions by others. These results do not automatically say anything about how the Dream Fiction experiences work. We do not promise any specific mental health outcomes.
