This year the concept of dreams has been chosen as the theme of the DJ Awards 2009. Dreams are much more than a frivolous sideshow to the defragmentation of our minds during hours of rest; some dreams, for example, are the visions of a better future.

From the lucid dreaming of Tibetan monks to the mysterious dreamtime of the Australian aboriginals; dreaming have grown to become a highly sophisticated expression of our ancestral cultural in heritage.
