Dream First: Six Objects

Six Views – Step 1

Collect six objects that reflect who you are.

Find objects in your home or go exploring outside. They can be anything from books to photographs to a T-shirt to a just-picked flower. After collecting your objects, respond to the prompt below in your Process Notebook.


Suggested Time for Objects: 15 minutes

Suggested Time for Prompt: 5 minutes

Don’t take too long to collect objects or worry about which ones. This is a form of mind-wandering, so choose things you connect with in the moment.


Process Notebook Prompt:

Why did you choose these objects? Describe how each one connects to you.

Write freely about what you thought while collecting the objects. Be specific rather than abstract or judgmental.
