Want to try? Goldman’s assignment for you:

Take a photo of yourself using one element you can recall from a dream, using any type of camera or phone.

The photo needs to tell the story of the dream, or part of it. In the caption, write what you remember from the dream.

"If you don't like the result, do it again until you do," Goldman says. "Be prepared for the possibility of it being misunderstood or deemed a failure. It might just turn out to be the best thing you have ever done, and interest a whole bunch of people."
