Crowne Ballroom
The Dream Ball is a popular annual event held at the end of
every conference for the past 25 years. It allows contestants to
share dream-inspired imagery through costume, and honor a
special dream with a brief, public description.
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm Costume Parade and Judging
Before the Ball: Write down your name, dream title, and theme category on the special ballots available in advance. At 7:15 pm, presenters will assemble in costume, in single file. Each presenter (or group) will hand a completed ballot to the judges, and then proceed to the microphone to share his or her dream with the audience. Individuals are limited to one minute. Groups are allowed up to one minute per member. The judges will announce the winners in each theme category at the Ball, during a break in the music.
Each person's dream is unique and reflects of some feature of the psyche. The audience is urged to remain quiet and attentive during this special time of sharing.
8:30 pm – Midnight Dream Ball
