Overview:
When you are creating a Dream Theme Panel you will be given a list of possible themes to consider. However, you are given the
freedom to create your own theme. While thinking about your theme, ask yourself, “What would my dream be for a better future in relation to this theme?” Your panel can be designed anyway you would like; it could be very abstract or very realistic, or somewhere in the middle. See Create a Dream Theme Panel. Can I choose my own Dream Theme?
There are no restrictions on what Dream Theme you can choose to express in your panel. You are free to dream whatever you would like. The Dream Team simply has provided some possibilities of themes to help you take that first step. However, when you mail in your form with your panel you will be asked to circle a listed Dream Theme just so that our staff will know where to post an image of your panel. This will also help you to find where your panel’s image is posted on our website for future reference. These panels are 2 feet by 2 feet.
Visionary Panels are recommended but not limited to groups, schools, organizations, etc. To create a Visionary Panel you will need to select a designated Visionary from our list. By purchasing your Visionary Panel you will be the only group representing that Visionary. In
creating your Visionary Panel you will be asked to consider your chosen Visionary Dreams and influence in history and the present. In doing so you have many different methods of approaching the creation of your panel. It is best to select a question for your group to think about. Example; How did this Visionary influence the world? How did he/she influence me? If you were standing in his/her shoes,You will be asked to fill out a form, print it, and mail it, along with your submitted panel. Once we receive your panel we will photograph and document it. Your panel’s photograph and information with be posted on our Flickr Account. Your first and last name, along with city, state, or country will be posted under the Who’s Involved section.

NOTE: Once a reservation is made, your panel is guaranteed a spot on the Dream Rocket Quilt. However, if you submit a panel that is considered by the U.S. Space & Rocket Center® to be obscene or politically offensive, the Dream Rocket Team has the right to request another, however this does not mean you lose a spot for your panel or that you will receive a refund, you will simply need to submit a new panel. Thank you.
