Welcome to Electric Dreams vol 4 no. 8! We have a great issue
for you this month, but before I talk about that I wanted to
introduce two new staff members.
Patrick, (Robert Patrick Murtha) will be involved in the media
management of Electric Dreams, which means everything from how
our sites and ezine are displayed online to how we relate to the
world outside of dreaming via magazines, TV, radio and other
media connections and events. Also, having a double major in
psych and parapsychology, we will probably be hearing more from
Patrick on these matters as well. (See ED Access for more info).
Linley Joy will be moderating the dream groups. Please see the
article below on the DreamWheel Dream groups for more information
regarding the groups. Linley may also be doing a book review for
us once in awhile, which will draw on her many skill in writing.
How do people become part of the Electric Dreams Staff? Well,
since we are a free publication, basically it only requires that
you have a desire to join us and send me a note saying so. If you
have a specific area you want to work with, fine, or if you would
like to look at our task list, I can send that to you. Be a
pioneer, join today! rcw...@aol.com
Do you have dreams of events that really happen? It seems that
many of us do, but what do we do about them? An experienced
psychic dreamer, Linda Magallon, tells us the dues that
necessary to move from a raving hysteric Cassandra to sensitive,
community connected seer like Tiresias. Read the Dream Trek
Column for more.
For nearly 30 years, Connie Barrett has been recording her
dreams and in the last decade has been researching the effects
of Herbal Remedies. While we at here at Electric Dreams haven't
followed these studies up and cannot recommend the treatments one
way or the other, the work is a great jumping off point for those
interested in the effects of various substances on dreams,
dreaming and dreamer. See her article "Flower Dreams".
How much control should we exercise over our dreams? Does lucid
dreaming enlarge the ego
and drive the much needed unconscious connection even further away than
before? Fred Olsen,
who has been developing his own reentry techniques for several decades
takes a look at this issue
and wonders if maybe we have been asking the wrong question. Perhaps we
should be asking less
questions about whether to control or not, and more about the who that
wants to find this
question in the first place. The investigation of this path may unravel
all you have previously
learned and turn the currently held notions of cultural advance on its
head.
Carolus M. den Blanken is generously sharing a variety of dream
resources with us over the
next few months. This month you can check out his Lucid Dream
Bibliography, (See GD News)
and his paper that is part of a project of bringing lucidity to the
Netherlands. ( See article)
Alissa Goldring, who has been providing us with her continually
dream inspired art articles,
has completed her column with us and this gives us a chance to see her
full site and get a summary
of the wisdom of Life, Art and Dream. Many thanks to Alissa for her
contributions this year.
Dreams form a valuable group of objects in our culture in that,
among other things, resist commodification. They are free, and
its hard to sell them, or even get attention for them. It is no
wonder the capital cultures attempt to teach us through mother's
voice that "it's just a dream". We are taught to be bored and
disinterested in other's dreams and see them as narcissistic
indulgences and random neural foam. Now you already know this, or
your wouldn't be reading this e-zine, but what about those who
have followed this voice and forgotten their dreams? I have
been doing a little more outreach this year to other mail lists
and areas of cyberspace that might still have an open ear to
dreams and dreaming. In Cyber-dream History Notes I've included a
short history I published on CyberMind and am re-publishing here
so that you can use this as a template to begin dialogue on
your own mail lists and discussion groups. Drop me a line and
tell me how it goes. I look forward to the day in our culture
when instead of saying it was just a dream, parents say something
like Kilton Stewart suggested to tell children "When you are
awake you have to obey me, but in you dreams, we will obey
you...."
Madame Aionia an Island continue to explore the use looking at
dreams as if they were from various Astrological Houses. This
month, they look at Sex, Death, Inheritances and other Eighth
House concerns.
Peggy Coats & DreamTree brings us all up to date in the latest
Global Dreaming News. This is not only a *news service * but the
place where we can watch the dream culture evolve online and find
our unique interests and pursue our specific desires and
individuality through dreams and dream inspired projects.
Whether you are interested a wild romp to Dreaming in Greece, or
a more personal adventure at Twin Lakes in Alchemy, the GD news
offers you a program. Can't make it to any of these events?
Well, try my History of Dream Sharing Class, which begins the 1st
of every new month.
There are just *tons* of new sites and cyber-dream projects
this month and I hope you get a chance to look through the news
and visit these new sites.
The GD news is also a chance to help out researchers. If you
have Dreams of Future Worlds, psychic dreams, mysterious words in
your dreams, dreams of the dead, or just have some dreams you are
willing to share in general, these researchers could use our
help. Let's search through our journals and send them the
material they need to provide interesting new insights for us
all.
If you have material for the News, send that to Peggy at
pco...@dreamtree.com
Here are some Higlights from the Dream and Comment section from
our Dream Editor, Bob Krumahansal:
Computer Dreams galore - from hardware to software, from e-mail
to the Internet, even Bill Gates makes an appearance as computer
related images are incorporated into our dreams. A recipe is
applied to an Oven dream by B.A.Baker ;), a Shark attack is
undergone and examined, journeys, escapes, crashes, repetitive
dreams and a precognitive Jerry Garcia dream are among the many
others shared this issue. Enjoy this episode of our continuing
explorations into Dreamland. BobK
OK, Keep sending those dreams in! When you do, I put them on
the ed-...@igc.apc.org mail list and those who are interested
will comments. Then Bob Krumhansl puts this all together once a
month.
You can send dreams to Bob or me, or you can join the mail list
and send dreams and comments in yourself. How?
Send
TO: majo...@igc.apc.org
SUBJECT: sub me (or anything, this line is not read)
IN the Body of the Email put only
subscribe ed-core
In a few minutes you will get a note to send back verifying that
is was *you* making the request and not some obnoxious spammer.
Then your can send dreams directly into the list. Please include
a title and pen-name and send to ed-...@igc.apc.org
Any dream that comes in will get distributed to everyone else on
the list and you are welcome to comment on the dream as you wish.
To those of you who would like to see your articles on ED be
displayed better, we are working on it! In the meantime, our Web
Master, Matthew Parry, is offering us some ways to put the site
up and have it connected to the ezine. See his instructions
below.
OK, enjoy the issue and have a dream filled September.
