Have you ever woken up from a dream so vivid you’re convinced it’s real?

This issue has been inspired by dreams, both the ones that happen while we sleep and the ones we control – our aspirations for the future. Activist Nimco Ali is campaigning for a world that respects the rights of young girls.
Performer Soma Ghosh wants us to shed our feminist guilt and embrace our sexuality, as she investigates whether porn can ever, really, be feminist. And Alex Merry conjures up surreal, magical creatures from her kitchen table. Elsewhere, we spend a day chilling in our PJs, Charly Cox writes us a poem for the changing seasons and Mahalia sings us some sassy-sweet soul. Come join us.
