Chaque semaine nous a portés vers un univers différent : la magie, la poésie, le rire, la mémoire, la nostalgie, la découverte musicale. C’était un mois où l’art n’était pas seulement un spectacle, mais un compagnon de route. Un miroir. Un refuge. Parfois même une secousse douce, mais nécessaire.Voici les mondes que nous avons traversés:Cirque du Soleil – Alegría: Le 7 Janvier à ChatouNous avons commencé l’année sousTue, 17 Feb 2026 20:22:30http://couleursdereve.com/home/les-couleurs-du-mois-un-regard-de-rêve-sur-janvier-2026http://couleursdereve.com/home/when-empathy-fades-boundaries-speakWe all navigate life’s events—twists and turns, joyful or painful—in our own way. For me, writing has become more than just a tool for expression; it’s a lifeline. It helps me process, reflect, and release what’s swirling inside. I share these thoughts not to dwell on the past, but because I know I’m not alone. Many of us have felt this way—in workplaces, families, friendships, and communities.It’s when support feels like a one-way street that things start to quietly unravel.

With a remarkable 20-year age difference between their parents, the Aoun siblings grew up in a unique and loving household where art was the essence of everyday life.

Who knew a television show about murderers could be so insightful? It obviously emphasizes the distinction between subjective opinions and objective facts, a distinction we often fail to recognize nowadays.Mon, 07 Oct 2024 15:55:52http://couleursdereve.com/home/in-the-face-of-adversity-between-hope-and-despairhttp://couleursdereve.com/home/créapaire-by-élodie-rêve-a-creative-journey-of-art-flowers-and-dreamsAlmost 3 years ago, fate had brought 2 persons together in the vibrant heart of Paris, where cobblestone streets meet floral facades. A shared passion for color, texture, and the transformative power of design blossomed into a deep friendship. Rêve, the architect with an eye for beauty, and Élodie, the engineer with a flair for precision, were an unlikely yet perfect pair. One is an idealistic dreamer while the other is a pragmatic dreamer, and I’ll let you guess who’s who!

Despite the evolution of societies, and although societal codes have changed, this pursuit of happiness is always the goal, and the main desire of everyone. We all get confused about the core of Happiness: is it Quantifiable? Measurable? Pursuable? Or just a simple state of mind?Happiness is not only considered as a life goal but more as a right and an obligation.

I searched many archives of universities (mostly Anglo-Saxons) having dealt with the subject to finally find a study last week, that I consider being one of the best and most useful that I read.

Escaping traffic, pollution, stress, lack of space, the cost of living..., more and more families are leaving the city to settle in suburbs and countryside, where there are houses, with gardens, sometimes a swimming pool, and lots of space. While living in a rural environment can have many benefits, not everything is idyllic.

Cities are often planned to be practical. Our houses or apartments are also designed to be practical. Even the sneakers culture and athleisure trend conquered our closet because of their practicality. I am standing in the center of Paris, feeling that the excess of practicality is speeding my rhythm so it becomes hard to slow down to admire the beauty or what brings joy around me. Let’s start on a macro scale!68% of the worldSat, 30 Mar 2019 21:19:52http://couleursdereve.com/home/pursuing-sustainable-happiness-in-our-living-spacehttp://couleursdereve.com/home/what-if-i-follow-my-dream-an-interview-with-an-architect-painterSenior architect, a former college mate and an old friend, Elias is back to college at the age of 34 to pursue his childhood dream to become an artist.

As long as I am awake, my cam is ready, I am ready, looking around, shooting colors in unusual spots, enjoying this feeling, proving that we live in a beautiful colorful world, but when it comes to my personal space, my closet, my living room, my car, all my belongings, I am not into colors. In color psychology, black means power and control and often looks good and professional and gives protection from external emotional stress.Mon, 11 Feb 2019 20:32:39http://couleursdereve.com/home/me-and-black-black-and-me
