the dream man.

Thousands of people are dreaming about one man. He comforts, guides, even has sex with them. A website captures sketches and stories about the phenomenon. Some think he’s ” …a real person, who can enter people’s dreams by means of specific psychological skills.” It turns out that this is a most excellent hoax:

This website is actually the creation of a sociologist and marketer named Andrea Natella. He runs a company called Guerriglia Marketing which stages “subversive hoaxes” and creates weird art projects that are mostly about pornography, politics, and advertising.
I love being tricked when it’s for the sake of a great story. ★ share this
