Dreams Come True Object (DCTO, pronounced dik-toe) is a vinyl version of Daruma, symbol of the 5th century Buddhist monk who meditated so long he lost the use of his arms and legs. Daruma dolls come with unpainted eyes. You paint the left eye when commiting to a goal. Once the goal is achieved, you paint the right eye.
