Dreams

10-15 mins

Round 1

Dream
Detective

Pick for your partner.
Then they pick for you.

What does your partner want more of right now?

Time Money Energy

What does your partner crave most?

Adventure Stability Change

What would make your partner’s week?

A surprise trip A day with nothing planned Time with someone they miss

Pick for your partner. Then they pick for you.

Round 2

One Wish

A genie gives you one wish.
But it can only help in one of these four areas.

Which one do you pick?

1Heal something from your past

2Conquer a fear

3Have more freedom in one part of your life

4Get back a part of yourself you lost along the way

Once you've picked your area,
what exactly would you wish for?

One person goes first. Then the other.

Round 3

The Dreamers
Before You

Think about one of your parents.
Not as your parent.
As someone who once had dreams of their own.

What did they dream of becoming or doing?

Did that happen, or did life take them somewhere else?

Think about:

A career they talked about but never went after Something they never spoke about but you could feel A dream they let go of and put on you instead

One person goes first. Then the other.

Round 4

Quick Fire

Both of you answer each one.
Don't overthink.

1What excites you most about your life right now?

2What do you wish you had more time for?

3A job you'd love to try, even just for a week?

4Something you want us to experience together?

5What are you most afraid of regretting?

6In one word: what does a good life look like?

Last Round

Capsule:
One Year

Each of you record your answer as a voice note.

One year from now, between you two.

What's one thing you hope changes?

And one thing you hope stays exactly the same?

Think about:

How you communicate How much fun you have How close you feel A goal you share How you spend your time How you handle hard things How safe you feel Your Sunday mornings
