The collective unconscious is a layer of the human psyche whose collective mental contents go beyond the individual, to the whole human community or race. Dream-Heeders examines the current state of the world and its direction as shared in our collective unconscious, via dreams. What of our collective unconscious do we share in these times of financial crisis and migration, rising extremism, ever greater consumption but also education, population growth, global warming and terrorism? Can dreams influence our choices and actions? Through the accounts of people impacted by life-altering trans-personal dreams, and with the latest findings of dream research, the film explores the collective nature of dreams as documentary testimonial of our times and the world we live in.
