To join send an e to dreamchatters-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Before I get into the articles this month, I wanted to mention that the Association for the Study of Dreams is having a conference in Copenhagen in June and information about this is now available in several different languages, including Danske - Deutsch - Español - Finnish - Italiano - - Norsk - Turkish - Nederlandse - Francaise – and Japanese. Stop by the conference site for more information. http://www.asdreams.org Here are some of the articles and columns featured this month: Lucy Gillis shares travels around the dream world to find the most talented and experimental lucid dreamers. In an excerpt from the her Lucid Dream Exchange, Linda Magallon presents an excellent example of the creative power of lucid dreaming with her spontaneously produced "Past Lives in Poetry." "Everything in the dream is a part of you," states the very popular Gestalt theory of dreamwork. Linda Lane Magallón, author of _Mutual Dreaming_, explores how this technique rolls out on the dream carpet of everyday dreaming. Be sure to read "Gestalt Dialogue with the Inner Critic and the Inner Child." Jean Campbell brings you up to date on the dream activism group, the World Dreams Peace Bridge and how we can use dreams to bridge the gap between many different groups and cultures and reach out to those in pain. Read "A View from the Bridge." The Waves is a newsletter reporting on the explorations of the Sea Life community. Sea Life, the main web forum at Dreampeace, aims to bring together a circle of dreamers from around the globe, collaborating in mutual dreaming adventures, and 'dreaming with and for the earth itself'. This month, take a trip around the ancient Mayan cycle of world ages with Nick Cumbo. Radostin Pavlov sent in a case for increasing our study of precognitive dreams. "In addition to the personal satisfaction one may get from being better prepared for the future, studying the phenomenon of precognitive dreaming may have other positive consequences on a more global level, such as finding the answers to some fundamental questions about our universe and ourselves." Be sure to read Radostin's paper on Precognitive Dreams. The Global Dreaming News comes from Peggy Coats at Dreamtree.com and will update you on current dream events.

Setting the tone with a series of waking life and dream experiences, the story shows the conflict that adult children of alcoholics often encounter when trying to resume a normal life after the alcoholic is no longer present in their lives. Covering a twenty-year time frame while using dream images as a background, the story illustrates how emotional healing is often multi-layered and not as straightforward as it may seem. mHowever, with dreams often comes emotional insight. This emotional awareness propels the author into various situations that slowly lead him to a path of accepting his past and confronting some of his most painful memories of life with an alcoholic parent while at the same time allowing him to teach family and friends to work with their dreams as well. While primarily a story about the healing nature of dreams and dreamwork, the book also touches on subjects such as adult children of alcoholics, recovery issues and shamanism. "I liked this book and found it to be a moving Hero's Journey. It shows us how we can listen to our dreams, as guidance in our lives. It has much to offer all dreamers.

Linda Lane Magallon In LDE 30 Linda Magallon presented an excellent example of the creative power of lucid dreaming with her spontaneously produced "Past Lives in Poetry." ***************************** Past Lives in Poetry (c) 2004 Linda Lane Magallón "Make an effort to remember. Or, failing that, invent." The women in Les Guerilleres When I first had lucid dreams, there wasn't much written on the subject. Instead, there was a fair amount of information on the out-of-body experience. After trying, time after time, to have a traditional OBE, I had become very frustrated. So I went to the source: I asked my dreams for guidance. Then I had a lucid dream, but it only served to confuse me. _________________ Hilary, 9/1/83 At the edge of sleep, in the hypnogogic state, I request guidance. I see a clown-like face in a magic mirror. It changes to a woman with dark brown hair who is wearing a cap with a feather. She seems to be riding inside a coach or carriage lined with silk material (circa Robin Hood or Three Musketeers). I am drawn into the scene enough to feel the motion of the coach, bumping over rocks, at the speed of a horse at full gallop. The sensation is very vivid. "What is your name?" I ask. There is no response, but something prompts me to ask her, "Hilary?" I think, good, it's a male/female name. At this, she laughs soundlessly. I peer closely at her face and ask her, "Why can't I have an out-of-body experience?" She pulls the cap down over her face and turns into a flat oval shape. _________________ I wrote down the dream and sat puzzling over it. Then I was inspired to put pen to paper. This is one of the few times that a poem virtually wrote itself. It just gushed out of me, like the sudden exodus of some long pent-up energy. And, who knows? Maybe the roots of my dilemma were in the distant past, many lives in the making. Or maybe I was just making it all up. Either way, I was impressed by the creativity that can be released by having a lucid dream. _________________ Heather was once, and Hilary. Shameless vixens helping themselves to the cosmic stew. Joyful, never mindful of where or when they came or went. No. God, how I envied them. Then, and Now. Seven lives we wandered the back country, Me and my guitar or dulcimer or harp Or whatever was the instrument in vogue that century, Ever warning and scolding them for being so fancy free. And when they'd return from their jaunts to Faraway And trysts with the local governor or deity (For they were never ones to carry on with the lower classes) There I'd be, ready to heal their hearts and bodies, To nurse their infants and wipe the runny noses of the ragamuffins later, After they'd grown a bit. Faithful ever. Like a dog was I. Longing to risk but not. Pouring out my love and frustration on the strings. Well, now, isn't it time for a change? So where are the Heathers and Hilarys for me now? Risk I do. My own children do I love and care for. But the music is locked in my heart. This time. This life. _________________ I can't remember whether or not I'd seen Susan Blackmore's book "Beyond the Body" when I had my dream. You might be interested to know that, at the beginning of her first OBE, Blackmore was listening to music, which put her into an altered state of consciousness. Then she moved slowly into a scene in which she was thundering along a road as though in a carriage drawn by several horses. So, I suspect that my dreaming self was tapping me on the shoulder and saying, "A-hem, Linda. Why are you wondering about an out-of- body experience? You're already having one!" _________________ Blackmore, Susan. Beyond the Body. (London: Paladin Books, 1983). Wittig, Monique. Les Guerilleres, trans. by David Le Vay.

"look," i tell him. "when i am finished you see the changes and i will put back any you do not care for." unsettled by our disagreement in terms, i stop the typing and look closely at the paperback cover of the journal for the first time. the title is 'thoughts' and it has a monochrome yellow-black print of a woman slightly dressed in underwear and nylons. she is about to scream in terror of something approaching from our perspective. a typical pulp fiction image from the 1950s. the names of several well known authors are superimposed. it is the kind of magazine that charles bukowski would have published in. i thank marty for letting read his piece, but i can not think of anything intelligent to comment. usually it takes me a while to subconsciously digest art before i can understand it well enough to contribute something. i am impressed at his creative output and wonder if someday i might be able to communicate in media like this. i leave marty's little house on the edge of a small urban area and i walk into the downtown area. the area is not quite a city, but has dense, rundown feeling to it. the alleys between the streets are cluttered with refuse and discarded cardboard. some dirty street boys come up to me, trying to panhandle spare change, but they know me well enough that i can say no. soon, susan comes up to join me and i am glad to see her. "whatcha been doing?" she asks me. "i stopped by my friend's house. marty. you have not met him yet. he lives over on the other side with his wife, denny." she does not comment, but takes my hand as we go into the rear entry of a building just off the alley. we go up stairways to the top floor, three flights up, then out onto the roof. up here the air is a little fresher. the roof has various machines discarded haphazard from factories and assembly lines. on the edge of the building there is a really tall metal box which extends upward. it looks something like the trailer of a semitruck without the wheels, but it has some heavy construction seams in the middle which indicate some mechanical purpose that i cannot fathom. i get a small rush of vertigo looking up at it. somehow i think that we are to climb this precarious contraption. before susan and i can go over to it closer, there is a loud crack when most of the box detaches from its vertical face which is nearest to us and folds over like it is falling into the alley below. we hurry over to edge and look down. in the space between here and the ground, the box is unfolding on various hinges and seams, so it pivots back and forth rather like a robotic reptile. there seems to be a man controlling it with a remote control across the way. susan lets go of my hand and steps up on the short ledge just away from me. this frightens me that she is so close to base of this apparatus which is jerking left and right just below us. sure enough, the ledge she is standing on tilts and she falls over into the side. i lunge forward trying to grab her, but i am to late. she is gone. looking down, i can see that the snaking machinery has come back under her fall, and a cuff on her pants leg catches on the side of the monstrous device, saving her from the fall to the pavement. she is shaking like a limp rag doll on the neck of the machine. i yell to the man controlling the device across the way and run back to the door to get down as quickly as i can. i jump down whole flights of stairs. bursting out upon the alley way, i see that the operator has lowered the head of the machinery gently down the pavement. i can just reach susan who is returning to conscious awareness. i grab her shoulders and push up to relax her weight hanging there. the operator of the device has now joined us. he tries to unhook her pants leg from the snag on metal, but it will not come free. i give him my pocket knife. he puts a slice in her cuff and she falls into my arms. i put her carefully on her feet and i drop to my knees as she stands there. i pull her to me and hold her. we are both trembling and i can not hold back crying any longer. i thought that i had lost her forever. the huge machine whines and groans as the operator guides it back up to its base on the roof above. when i can control myself better, she takes my hand a leads me away to the apartment which is not too far away from here. not speaking, she takes me over to the large sofa by the window. there we lay in each other's arms, grateful for the closeness. susan reaches over to press the play button on a VCR. a video starts to play which shows the lean body of a man from the shoulders down. he is dressed in gray tee shirt and undershorts. his legs are lean and hairless like he shaved them. he pulls a heavy gray cotton sock on his left foot but has trouble getting the right one on. i feel a little frustrated watching him struggle with the second sock. once he gets both socks straight, the loud rock music starts: "DO YOU LOVE ME? do you love me? DO YOU LOVE ME? now, now that i can dance, Dance, DANCE. watch me now, hey..." susan and i begin to squirm and dance against each other with the music. when the parts 'do the mashed potatoes', 'do the pony', and 'do the twist' we gyrate in the proper motions. of course, the passion rises in us both. and she arches her body backwards into me. i squeeze her tight, so thankful that we are together at last. she moans and trembles in delight. it takes a while for the tape to end. i believe the first song segues into a medley of classic rock love songs. it seems to go on and on, but when it stops at last, we are both covered with sweat, still fully dressed. susan looks at me, smiling and exhausted. "constant orgasm" she says softly as she drifts off to sleep in my arms. i had not, but that does not matter to me as i hold her there, hoping this is forever. =( awake at 07:30. i try to go back to sleep, wanting to keep this dream the way it is. man, do i hate waking up into the world which is so empty after an experience like that. marty maceda was a fine arts MFA student i knew in amherst. he was a talented cartoonist, but i am not surprised if he tried short stories. comic panel art is as much about telling the stories as it is about drawing. i lived with susan in massachusetts, but we broke up before i lived in amherst. i do not remember our relationship being as tender or intimate as this dream. perhaps i seem to be trying to reconcile my loss of her, even after thirty years. )= stankuli@etherways.com o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE April 2004 My Mother Died in Hiroshima Jean Campbell o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o During the month of April, while members of the World Dreams Peace Bridge watched in horror at the deaths of hundreds of people in fighting in Fallujah, Iraq, a very interesting conversation sprang up on the Bridge, having to do with not the current war but with World War Two. Because of the depth of this conversation, I would like to share it with you. I believe it demonstrates the value of people around the world dreaming together and talking together. The original post came from Jeremy in Korea, and contained the riveting title, "My Mother Died in Hiroshima." Here is what he said: Dear Dream Family, My father was Manager for the Budget for the Atomic Energy Commission in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, so my family lived there after WWII from the late 40's through 51. Laboratories there processed nuclear fuels for atomic bomb research and production. My mother contracted Breast Cancer at the age of 33 and died at 34. The last year of her life I wasn't able to see her because she was in hospital in New York and my father was bound to stay in Oak Ridge because of the Korean War. I was 4 when she left me and 5 when she died. Only now, searching the web on a whim did I realize the possibility that she might have been exposed to radiation in Oak Ridge, maybe on a tour of facilities with a friend, and so died just as many died in Hiroshima. Here are the extracts from Oak Ridge Radiation: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee. All cancer mortality was found to have a positive correlation with radiation exposure and indicates that sensitivity to radiation-induced cancer increases with older ages at exposure. (Study No. 5) A second and earlier study found a low overall death rate when compared with the general public , which is consistent with a "healthy worker effect." However the authors also found an increased risk of dying from all cancers is 10 times greater than extrapolations from high dose studies of Japanese A-bomb survivors. ( Study No. 6) A third study found that adjustment for date of hire, employment duration, exposure to beryllium, lead and mercury had little effect on radiation risk estimates. ( Study No. 7) · Oak Ridge Y-12 weapons Plant, Tennessee. Total mortality was low as expected for this group indicating a "healthy worker effect." The study also found elevated death rates for brain cancer, several lymphopoetic (immune system) cancers, prostate, kidney and pancreas. Excess death from breast cancer among women was found. The authors found excess lung cancer as their main finding and urged that this disease warrants continued surveillance. (Study No. 8) An earlier study found similar risks, with a marginal dose- response trend for lung cancer only. (study No.9) She named me Fred, Peace, and it is no accident that I have become a peace worker. Yes, my mother died in Hiroshima. Love, Jeremy Because there are people from many countries who participate in the World Dreams discussion group, I was curious to see what the responses would be. The next post came from Kotaro in Japan: Dear Jeremy, I cannot find any words. Your mother had to leave you at so young age. She is/was another Hibakusha, right? Depleted Uranium bombs are making other small Hiroshimas in Iraq....sorry, I cannot continue writing. Warm wishes and hopes, Kotaro Kotaro also created a beautiful mandala to express his feelings, saying: "Hibakusha means the atomic bomb victim or survivor of atom-bombing. And...as I have no word to express my sadness, I made a mandala according to my feelings reminding of you and your parents." From Germany, Ralf wrote: Dear Jeremy! I hope I didn't hurt your feelings with my dream posting. Maybe I did with my comment on what synchronicities I'm seeing. Please excuse me, Jeremy! Of course your mother didn't throw a bomb. I guess you are right to suspect, she may have suffered from radiation of facilities. What I want to point out is the sad fact - we often forget - that all the suffering we cause, in a way comes back to us. It is sad, that depleted uranium is used for bullets meant to kill the enemies in Iraq. But now we know, this deed returned effect to those who fired the bullets. Largely unaware of the contaminated load, they were bringing to the land and people there. All this suffering has been caused - as some politicians say - for me too, for a free and democratic world. I sometimes feel, like I press the button... like in my dream. It is then of course cynical and cruel on top of that to not inform the soldiers of the danger. Those, who knew it (the politicians, weapon producers, atomic industry) didn't suffer from radiation, seemingly. A cruel and hidden game of greed and power. That needs to be unveiled of course. I'm tired now, but can't sleep. Did get up in the middle of the night and check mailbox. Sometimes it is simply too much to get rest and find peaceful sleep and dreams. Sometimes I feel like finding all the battles of the globe in my little everyday life, too. Small misunderstandings leading to great struggles, but there are also peaceful and healing situations. Keep on your good peace work, Jeremy! This night is meant for rainbows and candles, I'll give it another try. Ralf To which Jeremy replied: Dear Ralf, I must've been writing my reply the same second you we sending your 2nd post. No, don't worry, you didn't hurt my feelings at all. In fact, I appreciated your dream and your concern. It's true what you say about depleted uranium, and it is a crime not to inform or protect the soldiers to deliver it to - its a crime to use it at all. The poor civilians, especially who pick it up in the desert not knowing what it is - even children, and of course the children born of contaminated parents. And you are near to Cherno ... and the fear and reality of contaminated crops and streams. I thank you for your warm and heart-felt concern. Jeremy Clearly Jeremy's post had struck deeply into the hearts of many people on the Bridge. And then came this post from Diana in Washington state: I'm so sorry, Jeremy for your loss. I don't understand the shortsightedness of actions taken throughout recent history. It might be a bomb, it might be a drug, it might be an environmental displacement or introduction of a creation. It might just be my opinion, but why don't people ask themselves, "What happens tomorrow?" It's not just war, so many things would not be a crisis today or I'm quite sure tomorrow, if people chose to recognize facts that they themselves already know. It must be greed in many cases. The reason I say recent history, is because we have the ability to devastate in a major way. I suppose the ability to devastate through introduction of species in an unprepared biosystem isn't new, though. (rambling) My mother was a child in Japan at the time of the bombings not so far from Nagasaki. She had already been an orphan for awhile before the war started, but still had a home. It burned to the ground, and she told me how she ran back into the house to save a funeral shrine house. Her brother disappeared and she didn't know he was alive until about 1985 or so. She's actually never seen him since somewhere in the 1940's. He's still alive, in Tokyo. He thinks of her as a little girl, and sends her small toys sometimes. She's told me a few things that were so very sad. People dying in the streets, and crying out for help, and you have to walk on. I think I've only asked her twice to talk about it in my whole life. Not a nice place to go. When I was in high school, they played some footage from documentary films some night, an extra-curricular activity, that graphically showed and described how victims died. A friend had sent a thought provoking site a month ago, a pictorial ride through Chernobyl http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/ I totally understand why my mother is the way she is. It's the way she had to be. What bothers me is when people forget the individuals who are called to serve in a war. What does it do? Creates or confirms some society boundary. It's confusing because some boundaries are necessary. What can be done to stop terrorists or at least quarantine them to a point that they can't organize? What can be done, so that people realize the extent of many lives lost to achieve an end? The thing is, there are probably few that are so absolved to create this tragedy, but why must so many die to achieve the vision of an errant focus of some terrorist. Why do people follow ideals that don't include all? What can be done to change that, so that irregardless of belief, need, want, self, all work together toward goals that are best for the all? I know I'm confusing, because I talk about individuals and all, but each is a part of all. I really think most people want peace. How do you stop icons or charismatic types that don't? Education. Sad it won't happen overnight. It needs to start everywhere at once. Here too. DT By the time I finished reading Diana's post, it was clear to me that I wanted to share this profound conversation with the broader dream community. I sent a message to the group asking for permission use what was being said in this View from the Bridge, pointing out how unusual it was to find a place where people from the US, German and Japan could share such feelings. Immediately Kathy responded from Australia: Jean - I've only seen your email because I saw Kotaro's reply! BUT the combination is even more amazing: we also have Americans whose "parents" fought and bombed the Japanese, just as we have Kotaro; we also have Australians who fought the Japanese and the Germans and the Turkish!!! (our day of military celebration is ANZAC Day - we celebrate a huge DEFEAT of us by Turkish soldiers when we "landed", really invaded Turkey during World War 1. And the reason so many were killed was because of either British bungling or more likely British 'strategic' planning in which colonial troops were easily sacrificed for british opps sorry!! the greater good! I suppose we also have someone from England??? We are a wonderful dream body of peace! kathy And then came the response from Ilkin in Turkey: Don't worry, we are celebrating Ancak day too (with many wisitors from Australia, grandchildren of the soldiers etc). My grandmother used to tell us those days she lived in the middle of the war (the occupation troops made their house headquarters) and she always told about Australians in a good way. Love- ilkin Ilkin also sent a post in which she said to Jeremy: Jeremy, yesterday I happened to see the opening of an exhibition at an old Jewish help house (which I made a part of the interview I showed you about the sinking Jewish boats at the Bosphorus during 2nd WW). They said that it is for the anniversary of holocoust, from a concentration camp near Prag. There were photos of the children too. What I learned is, it was a (I can't remember the name) special concentration camp with painting etc activities where they sent four thousand children and only 4 (or may be 2) could get out alive. The paintings were from 1942- 1943 (some 40- 50 of more than 6.000 they found). It was interesting that there was not so much violence or war in the paintings (may be it was the begining period). I walked around and look at the paintings, thinking of you. I think, I understand the importance of "Peace Train" once more. Love to you all - ilkin Kathy got another response from May, who lives now in San Francisco: Hey, Kathy and all, don't forget the Chinese when we talk about Hiroshima. I grew up in World War II, remember the fear and hatred we had for the Japanese. Though my family was fortunate enough to move to the save region the Japanese were pushing closer and closer. That kind of fear and panic, feeling your back is against the wall with no more ground to retreat. I think you were all too young to experience that war. We CELEBRATED when the bombs were dropped and Japan surrendered. Yes, Kathy, we do make a good peace group. "Peace" maybe just a concept unless someone has lived through terror. I admire Chayim for that reason. Let us continue our peace work in as an honest way as we can and encourage each other. May Followed immediately by a second post: Dear Bridge folks, my last mail about my own experience of fear at the end of W.W.II, and how I may relate to the concept of "peace" needs to be corrected. The way it was sounded like as if only those who had gone through fear would truly embrace peace. This is definitely NOT true! I have never thought of this before until now: how do personal experiences with fear affect how each person understands/relates to "PEACE". Time for bed and I'm not thinking clearly so here is wishing you wise dreams, May In some very deep ways, the entire group was struggling to comprehend the enormity of violence, the kinds of feelings that could lead for example to a photograph in a recent issue of Newsweek which shows a smiling Iraqi boy, maybe two years of age, holding the rifle one of the smiling men seated around the room has given him to play with. Kotaro responded to May's post with the following answer: Dear May, I never forget China and those people who suffered and murdered by Japanese, I dare not use the word Japanese army because I know in those days during World War 2 most of the Japanese were in superior complex to other Asian countries, Corea, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, and so on. There is no 'if' in the history but I think I would be certainly one of them if I was born in those years, I would try to be a good soldier for Hirohito and God blessed country. This imagination always terrified me. I don't want to use the concept of generations here, but just wish to say what I was thinking in a small park of Nagasaki was beyond the countries. I wrote ' everything has changed in that summer 1954' which means nuclear weapons are not just extended weapons, they come to have another dimension for mankind. And yet I do not neglect any kind of victims of that War. In 1960's I could watch the TV program of World War 2 that was made of full color film documentary which were took by Moupack, the American Navy's Film crews. Most of the film was on pacific war, including Kamikaze attacks. I come to hate to be being a human when I watch that program. I saw many Zero fighters attacked U.S. Navy's Gun ships. I didn't just feel compassion with the pilots on Kamikaze, but I was imagining those soldiers on the bridge and their lovers, parents, kids, and the very cameraman who was taking those scenes. Being a human has a possibilities to be an invaders for other people and simultaneously to be a victim. And also I tried not to miss any chance to see or read on Japanese invasion. Through this my experience at least I could know what kind of actions could be done when I lose wide and high point of view. When I was high school boy in 1969-71, a song was popular among young people. The title is 'the children who don't know the War'. I did hate this song. I was crying out in my mind 'You don't know the war? You just don't try to know the war!' In 1970, Chinese government announced ' we will forgive, but never forget.' to prime minister Eisaku Tanaka. I felt a kind of uneasiness reading this expression on paper. If we remain on this level forever, China will be accused by Tibetan people someday and announced by same words, and Japan could say to U.S. A. the same words for Atomic Bombs and at once Japan would be denounced by most of Asian countries and winners countries of WW2. It seems unceasing. But the war is unceasing on this planet. Yes, I've used the word 'planet', not the earth. This notion is not so strange today because of development for searching universe and global communications through internet just like we are doing here. Not to escape from watching the bloody and sad things are happening now and at same time to have...what shall I say, ...cosmic sense will be much more and more important when we wish for the peace. Much love to you, Kotaro To this, May replied: Dearest Kotaro: Here we are, a Japanese and a Chinese, with genuine affection for each other. As a matter of fact, dear friend, you, alone, have made more basic differences in my feelings toward the Japanese than any other single factor. I have felt close to you, respected you since the beginning. Your little flowers (photos that Kotaro has been sending) are the new stars in our Planet. Your mail today demonstrated the qualities in you that I cherished... And after answering Kotaro's mail point-by-point, May concluded: Exactly. How do we promote peace? By posts like these on the Bridge. Right, everybody? None of our hands are totally without blood. This month the Peace Bridge Aid for Traumatized Children Project sent money for a third shipment of therapeutic toys to Baghdad. If you would like to join in that effort, please take a look at http://worlddreamspeacebridge.org/aidforchildren.htm o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o PRECOGNITIVE DREAMS Radostin Pavlov o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o Since ancient times the belief that dreams are either warnings or prophecies has been very common. This idea has been supported mainly by oral tradition and some books like the Artemidorus' Oneirocritica written about 140 AD, but causing great impact right up to XIX century.[1] In more recent times, the concept of dreams telling the future has been greatly suppressed. Partly, this has occurred under the influence of Christian church, which has censured any kind of non- biblical prophecy. On the other hand, conservative scientific thinking has also rejected prophetic or precognitive dreams, probably due to the lack of sufficiently strong proofs for their existence or a scientific hypothesis to explain them. Thus, dreams which in the past could easily be labeled "precognitive", now are often thought of as mere coincidences or stories invented by people wishing to attract more attention. Sigmund Freud, himself, founder of a new era in dream analysis, knew about the existence of such dreams, but avoided speaking about them, and explained most dreams as messages from the subconscious mind resulting from sexual desire and traumatic experiences. Currently, most dream scientists seam to believe that dreams express mainly emotional states (e. g. fear, panic, anxiety, desire) and primary instincts and most investigation is dedicated to elucidate brain mechanisms originating dreams as a consequence of emotions and experiences. Thus, there are hardly any studies on precognitive dreaming. However, one name, which is worth a mention, is J. W. Dunne, who suggested that the probability that precognitive dreams are mere coincidences with reality is negligible and that they must be a result of time distortion. [2] Another important dream scientist of our times, Cencillo, expresses a similar idea and adds that there must be a reasonable explanation in modern physics, adducing the basic conclusion of relativistic theory that time and space are interrelated and can be "curved". He also argues that human brain processes simultaneously past, present and future events to represent them in a symbolic fused form as dreams intended to alert or make us conscious about things otherwise difficult to perceive. It should be pointed out that there seems to be certain trend of revival of the interest in precognitive dreams. This trend is greatly enhanced by the extraordinary features of Internet, such as web forums, articles online, chat, galleries, etc. Based on dream communications made in web chat and forums, Wilkerson reported that a large number of people had precognitive dreams about the 11-s terrorist attack.[4] Many people question the usefulness of precognitive dream interpretation although actually they do not reject the proper existence of such dreams. A common argument is that what is going to happen will happen and future cannot be changed. Nobody knows for sure if this is true or false, but what is sure is that there are dreams that warn or prepare us for the future rather than tell it and it can be really useful to understand their messages. Such dreams can have as a subject almost anything, for example, illnesses, death, political events, financial acquisitions or losses, job changes or problems, making or losing friends or dates, frustration or satisfaction of any origin... In addition to the personal satisfaction one may get from being better prepared for the future, studying the phenomenon of precognitive dreaming may have other positive consequences on a more global level, such as finding the answers to some fundamental questions about our universe and ourselves. Creating web forums specialized in precognitive dream analysis could be the perfect way to promote and perform such studies. References 1.

White Spectral Wizard Year © Nick Cumbo o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o The Waves is a newsletter reporting on the explorations of the Sea Life community. Sea Life, the main web forum at Dreampeace, aims to bring together a circle of dreamers from around the globe, collaborating in mutual dreaming adventures, and 'dreaming with and for the earth itself'. Link: http://www.dreamofpeace.net/sealife During the Solar Moon, we immersed ourselves in Dreaming Our Way to 2012. The ancient Maya were aware of a vast 26,000-year astrological cycle we call the Precession of the Equinoxes. Composed of five successive world ages, this grand cycle of evolution was believed to culminate on December 21st 2012, a date associated with what John Major Jenkins terms galactic alignment, "an extremely rare alignment of the solstice sun with the galactic centre" (Maya Cosmogenesis 2012). "According to the Maya, the 'future', which lies beyond this end date, is literally 'a new world' – 'a new creation". http://www.diagnosis2012.co.uk/ http://www.13moon.com/ Last year, in an absolutely life-changing conscious dream journey to the year 2012, I discovered I was one of a team of architects leading the development of a platform for personal and planetary evolution, known by the name of Sea Life. This month, the dreamers at Sea Life once again stepped through the time warp, returning with greater understanding of a deeper order of reality, and with great vision for our future. The ancient Maya kept track of many different cycles of time, "to map and structure various aspects of human experience". The Tzolkin was the 260-day cycle based upon the period of human gestation, and was formed from the interweaving rhythms of what we can call the '20 solar tribes' and '13 galactic tones', seen to be reflected in the body by our 13 major joints and 20 fingers and toes. Jose Arguelles interpreted the mathematical codes of the Ancient Maya, and determined that the 13:20 frequency was the basis of the fourth-dimensional radial order of time, responsible for "governing and shaping all third-dimensional phenomena". The importance of attuning to this natural timing frequency was made more than evident, through the way in which it permeated through the dreaming of the people at Sea Life. THE SUBWAY OF THE FOURTH DIMENSION In my dream, I found my dad offering me a jacket of rather unusual navy-green appearance, one I felt a little nervous about wearing out in public. However when I saw the clear white writing along the front pocket, reading "The Subway of the Fourth Dimension", I decided this thing was simply too cool to let go of. As the dream ended, I learnt that the jacket was sponsored by Peter Jackson. In his book, Dreaming True, Robert Moss speaks of how he was led in dreams to The Underground Railroad of Dreams, the story of a black slave named Harriet Tubman. "I was fascinated to learn that she dreamed of flying to freedom, over landscapes she subsequently crossed on foot. Later she was guided by specific precognitive or clairvoyant dreams to safe houses, river crossings and friendly helpers she had never encountered in waking reality. In this way, she escorted 300 escaping slaves to freedom, without ever losing one of her "packages"… What a powerful example of how we can "dream our dream" in entirely practical ways!" http://www.mossdreams.com/undergro.htm Just as 'The Underground Railroad of Dreams' illustrated the value of dreaming through the lens of Harriet Tubman's personal story, it later became clear that 'The Subway of the Fourth Dimension' was to demonstrate the value of our emerging understanding of the fourth dimensional nature of time, through the sponsorship of Peter Jackson, and the story of the Lord of the Rings. PETER JACKSON AND LORD OF THE RINGS In an excellent article entitled "Tolkien at the End of Time: Alchemical Secrets of the Lord of the Rings", the authors draw a magnificent parallel between the story of Frodo, "the modest, sincere and good natured hobbit of the shire embarking on a quest to destroy the ill-omened Ring of Power", and the challenges humanity is facing right now. http://www.sacredmysteries.com/JayTolkien1.htm The Ring, forged by Sauron in the depths of Mount Doom, is a symbol of power and domination, a force most difficult to resist. Saramon, the leader of Gandalf's order of wizards quickly falls prey to the temptation, the orcs acting as conduits for his plans, machines in the game of war. Through the efforts of Gandalf the Wizard, Frodo awakens to the sinister consequences of the rings misuse. It is only through the assistance of his friend Sam, and his courage and determination that Frodo can succeed in his quest. "The destruction of the Ring of Power appears to have unintended consequences that bring forth what Tolkien describes as the end of the Third Age of Middle Earth. At the conclusion of this compelling story of good and evil, heroes and villains, magic and mystery, all of the fantastic inhabitants of Middle-earth, Wizards, Elves, Dwarves, and Ents disappear from the landscape of Middle-earth leaving the next Age, the Fourth Age to be ruled by Men" (Tolkien at the End of Time). Tolkien sees time not from a linear viewpoint, but as recurring cycles or Ages of Middle-Earth. Ultimately at the end of each Age of Middle-Earth, there is "a bid for ultimate power for by the forces of evil… the opposing forces pitting themselves against each other and a great battle ensuing between them". Viewed from a fourth-dimensional perspective of time, Peter Jackson's release of the Lord of the Rings in 2001, 2002, and 2003 is thus no coincidence! The 26,000-year cycle seen by the Maya to reflect our "collective unfolding as a species" was composed of five successive World Ages, each of 5,125 years. As in the Lord of the Rings, we are coming to the end of an age right now. Vega reported "a dream in which a person, maybe Tolkien, featured. "In the dream, I associated the events – fantasy vs. anti-fantasy- agents – to this 2012-dreaming-project." Surely this bears similarities to the materialism running rife amongst the people of our planet. Empty of spirituality many have lost sense of our connection with the land, and have forgotten why we are here. Natural resources are exploited, and corporations vie for ever- greater profit margins, regardless of the consequences. The ring is a very real consideration, and it serves self-interest, greed and control. However, not all is doom and gloom. The message of the Lord of the Rings, is essentially a reminder of the inherent power available to each of us. Frodo sets us off into the darkness of Mt Doom, and against all the odds, including the thousands of orcs hunting him down, still manages to triumph! The fourth dimensional perspective urges us to see time as art, not money, a viewpoint echoed by Tolkien himself, in his description of the magic of the elves, " its object is Art not Power, sub-creation, not domination and tyrannous re-forming of Creation." This is what we are here for, and it is up to us to take our place once again as equals in the process of creation. In a dream, 'ypm' found himself working in his standard office, only with one small difference. Apparently, he was being employed by Peter Jackson (the director of Lord of the Rings). Peter was handing out gifts for a job well done! It was only through the magical coming together of these three dreams by myself, Vega and YPM, that we were able to latch onto the true meaning of the Peter Jackson connection. YPM's dream appears to set the stage for a brighter future for humanity, a vision which Peter Jackson, I'm sure, would be proud to direct. DREAMWEAVING OUR WAY TO 2012 Finally, I would like to share some experiences of the dreamers at Sea Life, who successfully managed to travel to 2012 in conscious dreams. In dreams, I have been guided to start a not-for-profit organisation known as the "Sea Life Star Foundation", as a way of promoting knowledge regarding the application of active dreaming practices and the 13 moon calendar, as a way of restoring harmony to our planet, and exploring our evolutionary potential. In dreams I learnt that my friend Ron (Sunwolf) was to become the other 'head' of the Star Foundation. Ron set out on a journey to 2012, to learn more about the future of the foundation. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- 2012 Fund Raiser For the longest part of the night I dreamed about traveling down the road. I must have had 2 dreams of just road journey. Then I remembered something Astral Mass said in Way of the Wind dream Team, I used the road to change the direction of my dream. I requested the road take me into the future, 2012. Now I was in a future school. We were preparing for a fund raiser for a Global event for 2012. I was interviewing 2 young girls about helping out. I asked them if they know their Galactic Signatures. They said no, so I went online to figure them out. On the computer I punched up their Solar Seals. One girl was Red Lunar Moon and the other was Red Resonant Earth. They were excited to get them. Then I gave them a tour of our facilities. We were in the arts and crafts section. I showed them how to put a chicken in an egg, and pack it with ice. It was very detailed, I used a laser to open a boiled eggshell, and with the laser I cut the opening in the egg to remove the yoke part and place the small cooked chicken inside it. Then I put it back together. The laser had a reverse mode that sealed the egg, then we packed it in ice and stored it for the festivities. Later in the dream the event was going on. A fun festival! One older woman was speaking to Nick, over at a recruiting table. She said she supported what we were doing and wanted to give the foundation 50 million dollars. She had arthritis in her hands and requested Nick write the check. Nick was hesitating cause he wasn't sure he could accept the check, whether it would bounce or if he could write it. (I read his mind) So I went over and offered to assist. I took the check and wrote what she said, as she said her name outloud, it was Norma, something. Nehaus was the last name, I think. I looked at the check as I filled in the 50 million and gave it to her to sign. Nick and I were both thinking of all the things we could do with the money. Later I watched a contest were this other woman found the chicken in the egg and won. They were making lemonade. Ok. Seemed the future was a little different, lasers and fund raisers. Funny they still used money and that it was American money in the dream, but that could have been cause I am American. Red Lunar Moon and Red Resonant Earth were interesting glyphs to get. I think this is the first time I dreamed about the Mayan Dreamspell too. Also I found the reading of the minds interesting. Not everyone could do it, seemed this was one thing we were teaching at the foundation. I couldn't figure out what lemonade had to do with boiled eggs. Events organizing is something I have done in real life. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Quite a remarkable dream! I must admit I couldn't help wondering what one might do with so much money. I guess we'd have to dream on it! Regardless of things like money, the dream certainly gave us faith that our vision was one that could manifest. Finally, Pasquale, the creator of the wonderful LD4ALL forum, shared a similarly inspiring experience. http://forum.ld4all.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Dreamweaver 2012 … I remember my intention to go to 2012. I return to the bedroom I went to sleep in and intend T. (one of my guides) to appear behind a door (before going to sleep I had decided I would ask him to guide me to 2012). Nope, nobody there, it is a dark bathroom. A little girl who already was in the room wants to come with me. She looks like M, a girl I know from my childhood and she looks just like I remember her. She says: "I know the way". I realize i can go as well with her and follow her. We come to a room with 2 people. I ask what year it is. 1998. I say oh too early. Again we walk through the house. We come in the same room with the same people. I ask what year it is. 2008. Almost there. Then i'm without the girl outside a house. It is night, black sky with stars. I go inside. 2 elderly ppl sit at a table. I ask what year it is. "You are just in time, it is almost new years eve and 2012 is almost over." I ask about the world, has something shocking happened, maybe you know about the prophecies? "Yeah we know about that, it was all on TV but nothing has happened". "OK" I say, "dan weten we dat ook weer" (sorry hard to translate this dutch expression, literally: then we know that also again") I ask if she has internet access on her computer. Yeah, go ahead. But she has a very old monitor, it is one of those which can only display green pixels. I say: 'no that will not do, ld4all is in color it won't show on this one'! he takes some books and will do something to fix that? Then i see on the table a book by Barbara Brennan called DREAMWEAVER (IRL she is a healer and I'm reading 2 books of her at the moment. The book I see is the same format as the books I'm reading now). The title is in white on an intense dark-blue, purple background. The subtitle (also white) reads "how to employ and harness the power of the eternal moment of the NOW" (something like that, i cannot remember the actual words.) I say how cool is that, she is going to write a book about dreams! I open it and read a little. It is about how to employ the eternal moment of the NOW, has to do with being in the NOW moment, it also has to do with dreaming somehow… ------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Obviously Pasquales dream speaks rather beautifully itself. From a personal perspective, I was also reminded of my own dreams in which I'd found myself reading the work of Robert Moss (the author), which I know now to be my dreams way of suggesting innovative and exciting lines of research and writing to be done myself. I couldn't help wondering if perhaps this book might be something Pasquale would write herself. For one who has shared so much within the dreaming community, I wouldn't be at all surprised. Significantly, for all of us, it reminds us like the Mayan elder Carlos Barrios, that the changes triggered by 2012, are not like switching a light on or off, that this is actually a gradual process. Ultimately, like the various divisions and peoples of Middle Earth, our strength is in unity. In the words of a respected Mam Elder, "there is hope if the people of the light can come together and unite in some way." Our dreams would be a great place to begin. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Stay tuned next month for a project of much-needed manifestation, 'Dreaming of Peace in the Middle East'. We welcome new dreamers to join us in our adventures.

The first involved my going to a hospital (I do work in one) and searching for a restroom. This was not the hospital I work in, it was old, dirty, almost archiac. As I searched, I saw a doctor I work for, looking at me with contempt (he and I are on excellent terms, in reality). I came into a room set up almost like those military field hospitals, with a rot of cots and military blankets. All but the last cot were neatly made up. On the last cot was a bunch of blood with an IV pole and bag hanging down. I looked at the floor and saw bloody footprints and turned to follow them, in back of me (not there before) was a man, long hair/beard standing, with blood on his head and hands. He said to me, "Are you leaving me?" I realize the similarity of this figure to the crucified Christ. I ran and bumped into the doctor mentioned before, he gave me the same disappointed look. I continued to run and ran into a room with a deep hole in the floor, overlayed by porcelain. I hid in it, however, my husband found me and pulled me out. I was suddenly pregnant (I am not in reality) and very, very afraid, I had wanted to hide from my husband. Anyone have any ideas as to what this could mean? Again, I follow no religion and actually do not fully believe in God, so this is really puzzling to me. COMMENTS: 750-001, 752-001 ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 750-001 [749-001] Subject: Ren's Dream Number 749 Hi Ren, I had a few thoughts on your dreams. I think that basically you may be denying something in yourself. Perhaps you have let a dream of yours slip away with time and have not let yourself pursue it. You may be telling yourself now is the time. Your mind took strong authoritative symbols to let you know you may not be content with this. The respected doctor you work with, and the Christ figure. The dusty and dirty hospital suggests a place you may not have visited a long time. The Christ figure says why have you left me? (Could your inner guidance find a stronger symbol?) The bloody footprints of someone running away, hiding from yourself. And then you hide and don't want to be found. Finally the baby inside you, may be your inner child saying it needs love, care and attention. This part of yourself inside may be 'hiding'. Sounds like you may be fearful of letting this inner child out through these unexplored dreams or ideas. I bet there may be a lot of growth if you can let them out though. With your husband, he may be the one you need to share with first, after yourself of course. Even if it is the hardest to do. ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 751-001 Subject: a dream to remember so in my dream at the foot of the bed was a white amorphos figure and approaching from darkness at the head of the bed where my wife and i were sleeping was a man in a military uniform crawling ever closer i said in my dream, "he's coming for her!" and turned to my right to get out of the way and so he did come toward her the figure at the foot of the bed with increasing speed until there was a spectacular collision like a supernova which woke me up and got me out of bed after what was a close call i felt but there in the next room for i had headed though the open bedroom door to get a glass of orange juice in the kitchen to settle my nerves was a glowing and sparkling white being "casper the ghost like in outline" sitting in a chair i could see it as i was passing down the hallway and i said, stopped and surprised, " ma, are you still up?" and at that the being then stood up i also noticed that my mother was in fact sleeping soundly on a couch in that same room thus causing me to realize that the being was something quite unusual and as it did not respond verbally but only sparkled i become wary and turned to my right and began walking away while still watching the apparition seeing that it then too floated away to its right out into the night darkness through a closed class door COMMENTS: ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 752-001 [749-001] Subject: Re: Ren's Dream Number 749 Hi Bradly, Thank you very much for your take on my dream, after having time to think about it, I believe you've come pretty close to what has been happening and has happened, and my feelings on them. You've gotten so much of what is true out of this dream, things I completely missed, but are true just the same, things I really do need to take care of and "rediscover." Again, thank you so much! ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 753-001 Subject: Re: RESPONSE TO ALMOST PARADISE both the apple and snakes are fertility symbols. in olden days u would cut open the apple count the seeds and that's how many kids u would have. snakes r also phallic symbols so if one snake killed another that's no big surprise. just represents 2 men fightin" over one woman. what my friend julie said is: u know she just wants to leave her boyfriend and be with this other guy. i concur. ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 754-001 Subject: Re: my mother in law well i think that your mother in law may care for u more than u know. and if u were'nt so busy feeling so nervous and uncomfortable around her then the 2 of u could talk more easily and become closer. ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 754-002 Subject: re:a dream to remember obviously a case of spontaeneous clairvoyance ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 755-001 Subject: Re: RESONSE TO THAWING OUT! according to my friend wenona i called upon to help me as i have been working x-tra hrs. at work she said: a plane represents usually> creativity, freedom, and health. dreaming of a crash means a project will b delayed. 2 see other people unconscious is a reflection of yourself and your own unconscious mind. the dream signifies how u may not b alert or informed about a particular situation. the number 30 try to realate dream number to your real life and see where it matches. if your worried about money in real life dreams or numbers can b a reflection of this. ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 756-001 Subject: dreams i keep having dreams every night about having sex with someone see i preganted i just want to know why i am having this dreams COMMENTS: ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 757-001 Subject: nightmares I keep having a dream that I'm being strangled by an unknown force almost like an evil spirit or something. Do you think that maybe my house is haunted or something?!? Someone told me that if you dream you are dying(ex:that you are beeing stranglrd to death)then thats the way you'll die in real life, is that true?!? Also I have one more question, is it true that what you dream can happen in reall life, like your asleep and your dreaming that someone is chasing you so you run out of your house and while your dreaming your actually doing just that SLEEPWALKING?!? COMMENTS: ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 757-002 Subject: (unknown) i'm had a dream about snakes, they were everywhere some of them were cut in half and still wiggling what does this mean. ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 757-003 Subject: Re: nightmares Hi, You are probably having some breathing difficulties in your sleep. My guess is that you are sleeping on your back, and probably have your arms folded over your chest. In any case, sleeping on ones back makes breathing difficult because of the way the internal organs spread out. The difficulty is more pronounced for people who are a bit over- weight. On your second question, some dreams cause make you to make limited movements suggested in the dream; like a running dream makes you move your leg, but the movement is small, or just visualised. Only on rare occasions is there sleepwalking, mostly in children in feverish condition. The main purpose of vivid dreams is to move you out of an uncomfortable sleeping position, or wake you up. ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 758-001 Subject: something i had a dream were i was runing and i wasnt going any were but my friends were passing me ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 758-002 Subject: my dream i need this dream figured out. i was just a child when i had this dream and i remember it to this day. my dream was me in a crib and i was looking down for it by a door and there was this small ball(red and blue strip), on the other side of this door was a really big ball (same color). i mean this ball was hugh! this big ball wanted in the door to hurt me but i had the power to stop it from coming in, i was so scaird. i could feel the presence of the ball. i woke up so scaird and crying. please give me insight on this dream! ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 759-001 Subject: Re: my dream I think that the dream means that you can stop think you don;t want in your life form coming in the front door. Thats a good thing, now all you do is have to stop them from coming in the back. ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 759-002 Subject: Re: RESPONE TO NIGHTMARES! NO! just cuz u had a dream u were being strangled doesn't really mean you'll die that way in real life. i'm not saying it can't happen but the odds are not in that favor. and yes sometimes what u dream can come true in real life everyone has psychic abilities (largely denied or underdeveloped). so sometimes it can happen but if u get into meditation, creative, visualization, and get into books on lucid dreaming u can predict the future a bit more and more accurately. i just recently had a dream that a cat was injured and needed to be saved. a week later a friends cat was injured they don't know by what. and one of the girls in the house got rid of the infection by his eye. what i heard is that if u dream that u woke up and told someone about your dream while your still dreaming than that's most likely to come true. ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 759-003 Subject: Please help with this This dream really bothered me... OK... prepare... it was strange... and even stranger that it made me not want to go back to sleep... I was at these boat docks... there were two that were not connected. The water was gorgeous... you could see all the way to the bottom... really warm... just beautiful. There was this really big, slightly overweight guy there that I didn't know... he seemed like a tourist... someone that was new to the docks... had a boat (I don't remember seeing the boat). He needed help for some reason... so I was swimming (I was a competive swimmer so, I feel extremely comfortable in the water... kind of like second nature) between the docks helping him (to do what I have no clue). There were huge, really slow swimming but quite large sea turtles. I remember thinking that I knew they could be dangerous. But, I kept swimming back and forth.. getting out at each dock... then getting back in. On the last time... there was this extremely large (appeared to be gentle) sea turtle that as I was swimming right beside... I couldn't seem to be able to swim away from him no matter how hard I tried. The more I tried to swim away or put some distance between us... all of a sudden the turtle put his huge arm (or whatever you'd call it) around me and was nipping at me. I couldn't get away because the harder I tried the more it seemed to have the opposite affect. I couldn't breathe... couldn't get away. For some reason, I 'knew' that if I didn't move... didn't fight... I would probably be able to get away... but, I couldn't breathe.. I was under the water... so, I kept trying anyway. I woke up truly frightened... I didn't want to go back to sleep. Now, why did that scare me so? I have no clue... thinking about it now... it seems quite silly. The weird part about it is that I never, ever remember my dreams... they never wake me up like that. Another thing is that I'm extremely intuitive and all of my very strong feelings of whatever... typically come true. yeah, I know.... kind of weird... but, I've challenged people to prove me wrong... have wished so badly that I was wrong at times... I've always been right. So, something about this dream really bothers me and things like this typically don't bother me at all... I'm just not like that... not at all. So, why is this one bothering me so much? Really strange... ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 760-001 Subject: 12/04/04 RESPONE TO NIGHTMARES! 12/04/04 Astrarte's Day There is a book which has been written by H P Lovecraft, but it is recent. The book is a scientific study of Lovecraftian Dream or Methos*. It is in an Astral Science Library.There are about 300 pages in the book and the paper is a heavy bond type of paper. There are glossy picture of the same house which is Witch House**. There are glossy pictures of the inside of the house, old wrikety stair ways. In one picture it is of the front door and it is at the S.E. corner*** of the Hosue and the House itself sits on the N.W. corner of a quiet intersection in a residential area. The stairs go right down to the corner.I dream of this book for hours and the dream alternated with turning the pages of the book.Also the House seems to be the same but many other houses. ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 760-002 Subject: i'm drowning i had an awful dream that i was in a pool and couldn't get up. after awhile i started to rise and i could see the top but it was like i went through a thin layer of purple and i gasped for air. when i got out i knew how long i was in there for 90 minutes or 90 seconds but i do know it was 90 something.i was later in a car with people who weren't familiar and they tried to tell me i think there was some kind of tiff with a girl and i. ________________________________________________________________________ -------------------- END ISSUE ----------------- -===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===- =---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---= ELECTRIC DREAMS ACCESS INFORMATION =---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---=---= -===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===- Subscriptions: The Electric Dreams E-zine (issn 1089 4284) is *free* and distributed via email about once a month.
