We Should All Be Dreaming on meneillään oleva praktiikka, jonka taiteilija-aktivisti duo Sonya Lindfors ja Maryan Abdulkarim aloittivat vuonna 2018. Projekti keskittyy dekoloniaalisen unelmoinnin radikaaliin potentiaalisuuteen vahvistavana ja kumouksellisena praktiikkana. Se aineellistuu eri iteraatioiden kautta, jotka ovat aina kontekstisidonnaisia.
