Dream painter is a new and unpopular profession, mainly through painting to restore other people's dreams to cure those who have regrets in their hearts, thus satisfying people's emotional value.
202 1 12 14, the All Media Center of Taobao United Workers' Daily and the College of Labor Education of China Institute of Labor Relations jointly published "202 1 Observation on Taobao's unpopular new occupations", which made a centralized inventory of 202 1 fresh unpopular occupations and dreamed of painting.
Draw other people's dreams
Zhang Yun, a 29-year-old from Wuhan, Hubei Province, has been a dream painter for two or three years. Prior to this, she was engaged in the design industry, and she was under great pressure from Party A and the pain of repeatedly revising her works.
Eager to get rid of the bondage of work, she had a whim and wanted to try to draw other people's dreams. In 2020, she posted a message depicting her dream on social platforms. More than a month later, she received the first dream painting list. This surprised her, so she entered the dream painting market of the unpopular minority. So, she began a dream painting journey for more than two years.
With the development of society, people's needs are more and more diversified, and new occupations are constantly emerging. According to public reports, from June, 5438 to February last year, an observation report on "unpopular new occupations" counted ten occupations, including dream painter, fleshy trainer and game face kneader. Novelty and fun are the key words of these occupations.
In Zhang Yun's view, it is not easy to be a dream painter. Dreams are complex and diverse, and customers have different requirements. She should hone her painting skills in different styles, communicate with customers repeatedly and find out the pictures that meet their dreams.
In more than two years of practice, she also felt the comfort that the dream painter brought to her customers. Once a girl asked her to draw a dream, hoping that all the characters in the picture would have long hair. In her view, painting dreams is more about curing people with regrets in their hearts.
