Feels Zine, Issue 22: Dreaming

Feels is a publication about feelings. It is a place to explore, to share, and to be honest. Having an open dialogue about what’s going on inside of us can foster meaningful connection and make us feel less alone, especially in the social-media era that asks us to curate and polish our lives and feelings before sharing them — if we share them at all. Feels believes there are no good or bad feelings — the value comes from how we relate to them, how we experience them, and what we learn from them.

Feels believes in inclusion and recognizes that certain voices have been given the lion’s share of the spotlight throughout history. Our pages are for everyone. We are a feminist, sex-positive, 2SLGBTQ*, anti-racist, anti-colonial publication.

Issue 22

What does it mean to dream? What is our relationship to dreaming? Whether we mean the conscious or unconscious kind, our dreams can motivate, frighten, and delight us. They can divide or connect us; confuse us or bring us clarity; inspire or halt us. They can be our catalyst, yet can be snuffed out in an instant. How do we interpret, understand, and respond to our dreams? What are they telling us? In issue 22, we explore our dreaming experiences—both awake, and asleep. 

Memories not accessible in wakefulness come alive in sleep. Dreams for a future remaining as dreams. Losing yourself in a reverie. A pink blouse comes to life, igniting a child’s fear. Getting on the train and going somewhere unexpected. The ability to order a custom dream. Interviews with entrepreneurs and business owners on turning dreams into realities. Read all of these stories and more in the pages of this issue.
