The 101 dreamcatchers, students and young professionals from film, communication, design, architecture, management, communication etc. from 19 institutions across India like Manipal University, NID, Srishti, SPA, NIFT, Satyajit ray Film Institute etc. applied for the change to be dreamcatchers on the first ever DREAM:IN Journey.

Each team of 10 had a team leader/mentor and 3 dreamcatching teams of a spotter, catcher and reader each with defines roles. The Spotter identifies the people we are looking for, based on a guideline, initiates and carries on the conversation. The Framer captures our dreamer in his context and catches moving footage. The Reader is the writer, who is concerned with catching the right words and therefore, the essence of every interaction, making each one of them meaningful. The Leader Reports mentors the team, reports on the journey and reports back to the Dream Center.
