It's these kinds of projects that kindle hope in our future and bring a smile to anyone's face, no matter how bad their day or week or month was.
With some friends I did something similar as a final project for an English course I took - we went around with a camera asking students where they would like to wake up if they could choose any random place. The project is based on the http://fiftypeopleonequestion.com/ project, going around in major cities and asking people questions like this or what do you wish to happen until the day is over. You notice that some people give pretty shallow and expectable answers (same with you wall too), but I am most amazed by those who are honest and give really deep and moving answers.
Perhaps a video booth where people can answer this question in private as a next project?
Keep up the great work and looking forward to those do-it-yourself instructions for the wall.
