Launching March 2004
dream... World, our venue in Romford, Essex, where you will be able to leave your child in complete safety, and which can be booked to host your child's fantasy party.
9 – 13th February 2004
If you see any fairies whilst out on your travels in Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester or London, don’t worry! You don’t need the doctor, you need to make sure that your childs school is not missing out!! We have a 20 strong team of the most beautiful fairies imaginable deployed around the country this week. They have been sent by Rabbit from Fairytopia to encourage the children to look after their teeth properly. You see, there are too many ‘bad’ teeth being collected from underneath children’s pillows and its only the good teeth that bring magic back to Fairytopia! Yes!! – they are running out of magic in Fairytopia!! Imagine the horror when the fairy then shows the children the trailer, to find that since she was sent on her mission its all gone horribly wrong in Fairytopia, naughty ‘Tooth’ fairy Cindy has actually gone and given away all the ‘Tooth’ fairy money too! No magic, and no money, it is even more important that the children help out the fairies and look after their teeth. Some lucky children will meet Rabbit at this point of the fairy's visit, as he makes a personal plea before he hurries off the fairy to appeal to even more children...
Our fairies will be leaving all sorts of goodies behind for the children, but most importantly a strong message about oral hygiene! If you have any questions about our schools visit programme, please contact us.
Jan/Feb 2004

dream... are delighted to be involved in the promotion of Tooth the biggest children’s movie in 2004, after being recognised by Redbus, as THE most ethical business designed to encourage children back to creative and imaginative play!

We are totally unique in our approach, and are able to indulge every child’s fantasy via use of one of our specialist services.

We have been appointed by Redbus film productions to send out Tooth Fairies to over 300 schools across England prior to film launch on 13 February. Their message will be clear - dental hygiene is imperative to enjoy healthy teeth and gums, just as role play in childhood is imperative to their personal and social development. We wouldn’t put our name to just any film, but Tooth is a great movie, indulging fantasy with care, with a real ‘feel good’ factor, and an important message for children... doing the right thing, is the ONLY thing to do! Definitely worth watching, and one the whole family will enjoy!
Tooth opens in cinemas nationwide on 13th February and is a magical family adventure film with an all-star British cast: Yasmin Paige as Tooth, Harry Enfield as Plug, Vinnie Jones as The Extractor, Stephen Fry as Pedro, Richard E Grant as Jarvis Jarvis, Sally Phillips as Mom, Tim Dutton as Dad, Phyllida Law as Mrs C, and the voice of Jim Broadbent as Rabbit.
Tuesday evening 25th November
dream... were pleased to be invited to Club 195 in Epping, to help raise money for the Club's chosen charity, their local children's hospice, Haven House, in Woodford.
It was a star studded evening, and with Ted Blackbrow appointed to capture the evening on film, we can let you have a peek at some of the evening's fun moments!

Jade Goody (of Big Brother fame) rides a dream... exclusive, a beautifully hand crafted Hippo sculptured by Dorset artist and furniture maker James Harvey. You can now bid to own one of these beautiful pieces of art via the dream... auction page, with all profits being donated to St Francis Hospice in Havering-Atte-Bower.

Patsy Palmer (formerly Bianca in Eastenders), right, lent a hand - and her voice - to help make the evening a success.

Kate Lawler of Big Brother and Channel 4's breakfast program, RI:SE, took to the catwalk to model this season's 'What's Hot' club wear.

The evening was attended by Sophie Anderton, Vicky Michelle, Sid Owen, Teddy Sherringham, and Ian Lee from RI:SE. Entertainment to get the party going was provided by singers Bell and Spurling (Golden Balls) and Russel Nash, Carole Decker and Jenny Éclair.

It was a fantastic evening, all credit to Emma at Club 195! She organised and choreographed the entire event which raise over £15,000 for Havens Hospice.
