Ever wanted to see your dreams (or nightmares) come to life? To celebrate the upcoming audio adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman comic book series, DC and Audible are teaming up for the "Drawn from The Dreaming" campaign, which allows fans to send in descriptions of their dreams for a chance to have them illustrated by a DC artist and featured on an Instagram gallery:
WHAT: Audible Inc., the world’s largest producer and provider of spoken-word entertainment and audiobooks, and DC announced they will be offering The Sandman fans the opportunity to have their wildest dreams come to life through their new campaign, Drawn from The Dreaming.

Selected fan-submitted dreams will be illustrated by a top DC artist, possibly one of the original artists from the graphic novels.
Dream drawings will be featured in an Instagram dream gallery, @DrawnFromTheDreaming
