Today I met one of my oldest friends, Frida, and was reminded about her dreamday from 2003...
Here it is:
" I would like it to be September ( the month is just coming up now, so it looks pretty good for Frida).
It would be a nice autumn day with clear and fresh weather and blue sky. I would wake up around 9. Then I would go somewhere with a train, down towards central Europe, pretty unplaned together with good company. At night I would fall asleep in a new city and be on my way on a journey for indefinite time."

This is a note from my friend Roberto. He helped me filming in Monterrey and Mexico City in 2005.
Roberto´s dreamday back then goes something like this:
To be able to spend time with my family, my brothers and Enid and enjoy the day as much as possible. To skate as never before. Go to a concert or play in one. Eat with my family and then meet up with every single person that I find interesting and that I love and to know that I leave something after me, at least a nice memory, like a small bag of candies.

This is an old friend of mine who was one of the first ones to participate in this project. The note goes back to 2002 but somehow I think his dreamday is still pretty much the same...
Claes would like to wake up at around 9 in Warszaw ( where he is also living right now). He wants to have breakfast together with his girlfriend. The breakfast is pretty advanced: Fresh coffee, vegetables, cheese, ham (maybe pesto). After that they do their own things for a while. Claes has a coffee alone together with his books and note book. He is working on an article for pretty long, around 2-3 hours. (Roughly around 11-14). He takes a walk in the city and gets inspired by fresh fruits, smells from cars, people and buildings. He continues to the library ( he works as a journalist or as a PhD-student and is working on his dissertation.) He reads a book by Heidegger, Seinfeld or Letterman.
On his way home, he makes a stop in an espresso bar for about 20-30 min. After that he goes home and takes a long shower. Then his girlfriend comes home. They have a glass of wine together and talk about everything. They prepare some food, listen to music and then they have a long dinner together. After that anything can happen, maybe going to the cinema, stay at home, go to a bar, meeting friends, depending on the mood.

These are a two notes from a couple that I have known for many years, They are from Sweden but live in New York now together with a camel called Stan.
Notice how their dreamdays are pretty well syncronized!
Frida would like to get up pretty early, around 8 or so. Preferably with a breakfast outdoors. She would have sandwiches with (a strange combintion-but I have never tried....) honey and redcurrants and a cup of tea. No company except the morning newspaper. (if well planned, Jonas could have that morning swim right here...)
The day would then continue with different activities, like for example picking mushrooms in the forest, sewing or walking. Something simple really, but absolutely no shopping! Maybe together with the family.
Then lunch and after that take a rest and maybe read a book. Maybe also some afternoon "fika" ( coffee/tea and something nice to go with it)
The night would be spent together with friends and a nice dinner. Things that Frida does NOT want on her dreamday are: shopping and phone calls...
Jonas would also like to get up early. If it is summer he would like to take a swim and then have a big breakfast out in the sun with "filbunke" (hm, how do I translate that, a special kind of yoghurt made at home I guess.) and juice.
After that Jonas would like to play golf and have an expensive golf lunch at the club. ( I guess this would be while Frida is out in the forest picking mushrooms..)
After coming back home, Jonas would like to cut some wood and after that take a swim again. After that he would like to read a comic book in the hammock followed by afternoon "fika" with newly-baked buns.
In the evening: Preparing a bbq with marinades, sauces etc. Maybe also grill some corn. After dinner preferably playing cards, sauna and a swim again... Continue Reading

and more notes...
This is another note from Copenhagen. This girl i met in Athens in 2003. Her dreamday would be a day on the Greek Island Paros together with her boyfriend. She would also probably like to be pregnant, she writes. She would also like to see the sun rise and to go to the beach there.
This is a note from a former colleague of mine in Göteborg. I think it must be from around 2003. It says:
" To go to Carmel, California and visit a man who is growing wine there and whom I met a couple of years ago. Make new contacts, travel around and to really seize the day." Continue Reading
More dreamday notes!
This is a note from a friend of mine from Thailand. She lives in Stockholm now and this is her dreamday:
"Just being by the wonderful, lovely sea surrounded by the ones i love.
Opps! I forgot my cats"
This note is from when I went to Copenhagen some years ago. Unfortunately I can not remember who wrote this note and it does not have a name on it either. The note is in Danish and it goes something like this:
" I am at home. It is the day after a party, which has been great. My friends were here yesterday. I do not do anything in the whole day but look out from the window and smile while thinking of yesterday. "
I think this is a very interesting dreamday. It is a day that depends on the day before. It is about enjoying what has been rather than being right in the middle of it.
This is a friend of mine from Monterrey, Mexico.
His dreamday would be to go to Cuba with his family. They would all be together and without any worries or problems they would enjoy eachother´s company and laugh alot.
This is a note from one of my friend´s ex-boyfriends. It says:
"Making love on a sailing boat on the Swedish West Coast on a warm summer day." Continue Reading

Here are some dreamday notes that I have collected throughout the years
This is the note from my Greek teacher from when I used to study at the Athens Centre, Greece in 2004. Even though my teacher is maybe 25 years older than me, her dreamday is probably the one that mostly resembles mine! (except from that part with the kids perhaps) The note is in Greek and it says:
"I would like to wake up alone, without my alarm clock. I would be served breakfast in bed and read the newspaper while drinking coffee. Then I would talk and laugh together with my children. At lunch time the weather is nice and we take a long walk around the Akropolis. We would sit down at a small tavern where some old Rembetika singer with a harsh voice would sing and play. Together with friends we will eat, laugh and sing until the night...maybe even until the morning."
This used to be my supervisor in Mexico. She wants to spend her dreamday at home dressed in a pyjamas and reading a good book.At work she used dress very elegantly and would change clothes twice a day...
This is one of my favorite notes. It says: "To restore my dialogue with Dubravka, a lady who has broken up wth me,"
"My dreamday would be a day when I wake up without realizing it." Continue Reading

A Japanese Tourist in Istanbul
It is really hard to get women to contribute to this project. Here I walked up to a Japanese woman just outside the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. Her tour guide came to resque and translated my question to her. All of a sudden a whole group of Japanese tourists stood in a ring around us and wondered what was going on. The woman did not want to reply but this man was very excited to participate. Here is his dreamday:
