A psychotherapist tries to uncover a group’s shared dream image while one patient unknowingly describes the wrong dream and must stay hidden.

Gameplay

Players discuss surreal image cards in a grid while the therapist listens, asks, and guesses the group’s true dream card, then the table votes on who seems “insane.” The tension is talking clearly enough to be understood without revealing too much—or realizing you might be the one on the wrong card.
