A Sample DreamWorld Mission

During a fight with his sister, Prince Gutrab's puppy, Mittens, runs away into the Dream Forest, and the Prince needs the Dream Explorers to help bring him back. 

We go to DreamWorld by turning off the lights and using shadow play to cast magical landscapes on the walls.

To enter Dream Forest, students learn the Breath of the Dragon, a calming breathing tool that helps them become grounded, brave, and ready to adventure.

 

In Dream Forest, they follow clues, meet mystical forest friends, and discover why the puppy ran away.

 

To bring him back, Dream Explorers teach the puppy Mittens the breath of the Dragon so that it can calm down, find courage, and return to the castle.
