We all have another "self", called the subconscious; it lives in our inner soul; it is hidden in our heart. It is similar but sometimes contradictive to the "self" in daily life; the feeling is familiar but sometimes strange. The two "selves" become closer when we dream as our dreams tell us quietly about our hidden "self".

Dreams have countless ties and complex connection between the soul and body, the conscious and subconscious, imagination and reality. They are places to be discovered and explored, and they help us heal.

Dreamy spaces have been created by 11 comtemporary artists, using various media such as light and sound installation, mixed media, ceramic, video and painting. Within the exhibition, the main circulation route was created by one feature wall, connecting the gallery from one side to the other. Every artist got their own space to express their vision of dream, inviting the audience to explore the relationship between dreams and reality, and to discover the other self that is hidden deep within their hearts through interaction with the artwork.

在这个世界，相信会有另一个自己，就是住在内里的，被称为潜意识的另一个自己。它潜藏在每个人心中，好像与平常的自己相似，有时又相反；感觉有点熟悉，但又陌生。每逢做梦，都感到与它亲近多一点，因为梦会悄悄告诉我们有关它的事情。梦是心灵与肉体、意识与潜意识、想像与现实之间千丝万缕而又错综复杂的关联。梦既像是一个待发掘探险之地，又是一个重整休养的住处。十一位本地艺术家创作以梦为主题的作品，他们利用不同媒介，发挥独特的创意，构思出一个由梦主宰的空间，透过作品探索梦的本质，研究梦与生活的关系。
