Welcome to the Dream Party Hotel
A Space for Dreams & Dreamers
The Dream Party Hotel is a place where the mythic world of dreams meets the lived experience of gathering, connecting, and weaving stories.
Functioning as a liminal space, a literal space, and a community platform - we are unique as one of the only gathering places designed around collective dream-sharing, a nearly forgotten yet deeply profound cultural practice.
By sharing and integrating dreams with one another, we create an environment that bridges waking life to dream-time, connects the personal life with the collective unconscious, and unites the mundane with the sublime.
Dreams Are Our Shared Culture
Dreams as a Social Technology
The Dream Party, our signature event, restores dreaming as a collective human practice, transforming dreams from private experiences into communal wisdom and honoring their role as one of our most natural technologies for connection, empathy, and shared understanding.
Through Active Dreaming, a synthesis of archaic shamanic traditions and modern psychology, the Dream Party creates a structured, participatory environment where dreams are shared, celebrated, and meaningfully explored. Within this collective space, wisdom emerges not only from individual dreams but from the intelligence of the gathering itself, amplifying the depth and insight of the experience.
By bridging the waking world and the dream realm, the Dream Party invites participants to bring the intelligence of dreams into everyday life. This process deepens intuition, problem-solving, creativity, and emotional awareness. As dreams become a shared experience, participants cultivate not only personal insight but also a greater capacity for connection, empathy, and relational understanding. In this way, the Dream Party expands both self-awareness and the ability to meaningfully engage with others, making it a uniquely powerful experience for deepening connection with the self and others.
Meet the Proprietor, Michaela Costello
An Emissary from the Realm of Dreams
Michaela Costello is a dreamer, artist, and immersive experience designer with over a decade of facilitation and dreamwork. She is certified to teach Active Dreaming, a practice developed by author and dream expert Robert Moss, weaving ancient shamanic technology with modern psychology.
In 2022, she was the creative lead for MOM Design and the Dalí Museum to create "The Dream Tapestry: A Collective Dream Experience", an interactive installation where visitors' dreams are woven into a shared visual tapestry of the collective psyche. The project won the 2023 Webby Award for Best Installation/Experience and the People's Voice Award.
Through her practice, The Dream Party Hotel was born; a living, multidisciplinary work shaped by her research, writing, artistic exploration, and real-world experience. It unfolds across multiple mediums, including in-person events, written works, visual experiences, and guided audio journeys. Each expression reflects an ongoing body of inquiry into dreaming, consciousness, and human connection.
