Johanne searches for help through human subconsciousness to save not only herself, but also the dying world. The Safe Space asks whether our dreams can be changed, and if so, could they change the fate of our planet, too?

The Safe Space came to reality due to my unsettling dream following the news that Earth has reached a 1.5-degree increase in temperature. My mind, seemingly trying to deal with the news, has visualised eels swimming in a sinking ship, big waves destroying my house, and the fire consuming everything in sight.

The script started as a conversation between my conscious being (and took the form of Johanne) and my unconscious being (taking the forms of various visitors to Johanne’s room). The third dream came from my family member on the other side of the continent. Is it a sign of times that we share the same tormenting dreams of cataclysm despite being so far away? The fear of ending the fear of change is universal, but is there more to it in the last few years? And are some of us, like Johanne, only willing to do something if others do? Or like Atum, who has already lost hope and prefers not to think about what is to come?
