You can think and feel with colour before using words and writing your dreams down on the postcard. Use colours, patterns, shapes and pictures to draw and evoke how these dreams make you feel; this might be an abstract process. Colour will act as a tool to recall from your memory scape and to dream through your third eye.  

Lunch will be served at 1pm.
