A Dream Guide to the Internet What is the role of dreaming in the vast new territory of cyberspace? It is my opinion that the larger part of this answer is up to you and your visions. Or perhaps, like the flowers in the Spring, you just wish to watch the whole thing unfold in its own time and way? Either way, this guide is designed to give you a glance at the overall picture of how dreams and dreaming are represented on Internet as well as connecting you to specific resources and familiarizing you with various Internet tools to create your own statments and realities. I hope to show you how quickly this can be done, and hopefully, how your interests in dreams can connect with collective global movements. I would also like to invite you to jump online and experiment, explore and create. Just as a picture is worth a thousand words, 10 minutes on Internet is worth 10 hours of talk. The first section of this guide are the most active venues I've found (& created) on dreams and Internet. After this Most Active list is a collection via topics related to dreams. Then I've included an Introduction to the Internet, how to get connected, and the various tools of Internet with a focus on dreams and dreaming. Finally, there is an index to the Internet on dreams and dreaming, though it seems to fall out of date every week, and so I can't promise that the list is complete. I do offer suggestions on how to stay in touch with the new sites and projects.

But there are already some fascinating projects and venues for dream sharing, dream research and dream concerned communications, as well as are growing communities and experimental relationships. But what I feel is the most interesting part of the net is the ability to move rapidly from idea to manifestation. The creative potential of the tools offered has barely been touched and I look forward to new forms and fascinating mutations taking place in the next few years and want you to come along. In this section I've included the most active projects and grouped them according to various Internet routes and venues. If you are unfamiliar with the terminology or venues described, I suggest you start with or refer to the "Introduction to Internet" section.

While the Act mostly contains long overdue reform that will increase global access options and make for a better lifestyle, the tacked on Section 223 about what is indecent and illegal in Cyberspace is so broad that it covers online discussion of dreams that refer to not only to sexual acts and body orifices but also to mentions of abortion. The authors claim that the intention was to protect children from pornography, but it technically makes all online discussion in these topics a criminal act. Some large commercial carriers have already blocked access to newsgroups. Whatever your position on this historic Act may be, you can find out more online. There is a resource guide available at URL: http://bell.com/hrconf.html If you would like to join the Blue Ribbon Anti-Censorship Campaign, check out the URL: http://www.eff.org/blueribbon.html If you find that your service provider is blocking access to the newsgroups on dreams and dreaming, you can bypass this by : 1. Downloading one of the freely available Usenet readers via the Web, such as FREE AGENT for the PC ftp://ftp.forteninc.com/pub/free_agent/fagnet10.zip or NEWSWATCHER for Macs ftp://ftp.acns.nwu.edu/pub/newswatcher/ 2. Via the Web, find an Internet site that offers public access to Usenet. There is a list of these at http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/~jwa/open-sites.html 3. Establish a PPP connection to the Internet via your commercial service or ISP provider. On AOL you will need to download the Winsock program to allow this. (Keyword: Winsock) On CompuServe they provide a CompuServe Dialer. 4. Start the Usenet reader program and point to the chosen address. You will now have the option of reading the dream newsgroups of your choice, be that alt.dreams, alt.dreams.lucid or even the scandalous alt.dreams.casteneda. Another approach is via e-mail. In this method you will get a list of newsgroup posts to the newsgroup you selected, and a new path associated with each post. To READ a post, just send back the below commands with the path you want to read. To Post To: newsgroup@news.demon.co.uk or newsgroup@cs.ttu.edu OR e-mail to : gopher@nig.ac.jp or gopher@ncc.go.jp In BODY: x1 Numb=1 Type=1 Port =4324 (or 4320) Path =nntp ls *put newsgroup name here, without asterisks* Host=pinchy.micro.umn.edu (or infopub.uqam.ca) And here is one I haven't tired, but found in the 1996 April _Internet World_ which suggests simply using a web browser and going to http://www.w3.org/hypertext/DataSources?News/Groups/Overview.html In the upcoming issue of Electric Dreams we will be focusing more on your rights as an individual in Cyberspace to share your dreams and other experiences. JUNG AND THE NET The two early Internet Thinknet Mail lists on Jung and Hillman have been very quiet. Its my feeling that it is only in the last few month of 1995 that the Jungians are discovering the net. One Jungian at the San Francisco Jung Institute told me when I asked if the Institute had plans to connect to the net "Why?, We provide a space here for people to come in from the world and spend time." Well, I suppose they do, but to me this is a literalization of inwardness and I hope that on the net too, we can find our avenues of inwardness. Here's one I just found in Nov of 1995: a mail list called JUNG-PSYC Subscribing, Unsubscribing, and Posting It's easy to subscribe to JUNG-PSYC. The subscription address to which you should send a message is : To: majordomo@creighton.edu Subject: Sub me (or anything, it is automatic) The text of your subscription message should read: subscribe jung-psyc (Please note that there's no 'h' at the end of jung-psyc.) For example, someone with the address of 1234567@place.com should send the following message to majordomo@creighton.edu subscribe jung-psyc 1234567@place.com Highlights from Jung-psyc archives: To: jung-psyc@bluejay.creighton.edu From: jlarson@hsc.usc.edu (Jerry Larson) Subject: Synchronicity, archetypes There's been some discussion lately about what synchronicity is. The way I understand Jung, he meant it as an alternate theory of how events are related. The prevailing theory in Western civilization is that of linear causality. When two or more things occur together, under this theory, you either need to see how one caused the other, or they have a common cause, or else they are considered unrelated. When too things that seem (especially to the feeling function) to have a significant relationship, do not have a causal explanation for this apparent relatedness, we call that coincidence. If you instead call it synchronicity, you're asserting that there is a relationship, but not one that operates in a linear causal way. I wouldn't call these two scientific theories, because I don't see how to construct an experiment to disprove either. I see them more as two of many different philosophical approaches to events in the universe. What I think people are referring to when they talk about synchronicity or coincidence is an _experience_. The nature of that experience is that we usually live according to an idea of causality; that is how we unconsciously arrange things in our minds. When something happens that blows that arrangement, we can try to explain it as coincidence or as synchronicity. I find synchronicity to be a more powerful explanation, because it allows for recognizing and acting on the apparent relatedness of the events in question. There are 3 possible responses to what happens: 1) to assign it a significance 2) to say it has no significance 3)to say it may have significance, but I don't know what is. All of these choices are always available. On the subject of the biological nature of archetypes, there is an awesome book called "Archetypes" by Anthony Stevens (Quill, New York, 1983). Using primarily the example of the mother-and-child archetype, he demonstrates that there are universal human behavior patterns (instinctive behavior) and that the psychic correlates of these behavior systems are the energy centers we call archetypes. I recommend this book very highly. - Jerry alt.psychology.jung Recently there has cropped up on usenet alt.psychology.jung and at times some very prominent Jungians have made comments and been interactive. I recommend it as a conjunction to reading Jung. If you run across hard to understand concepts or questions you can post them and get a variety of opinions. Also, there should soon be some slow reading mail lists of his books coming online. I haven't found them, if you do, contact me. rwilkerson@igc.apc.org Also, you may wish to check out: Newsgroup: alt.psychology.synchronicity C. G.

The site was constructed and designed by Adam Schneider. URL: http://zzyx.ucsc.edu/~dreams/ INTRODUCTION TO The INTERNET & DREAMING WHAT IS INTERNET AND CYBERSPACE? The origin of the Internet is usually attributed to a U.S. Defense Department project in the sixties.(Fraase 1994, pg 8, Glossbrener 1995, pg 39) The idea was to create a network (of computers) that could exchange information and re-establish itself even if parts were destroyed by a nuclear attack. This project became connected with non-military use and is now, physically, a connection of computers, phone lines, institutions, businesses, government funded projects and people dedicated to distributing and sharing resources. The backbone is kept in place by the National Science Foundation and a hierarchy of more than 5,000 agency, campus and corporate networks and 2,000,000 computers. But these physical networks hardly describe the Internet, nor does Al Gore's phrase "The Information Superhighway" (Gore, 1991). The Internet is not so much about information as about a new way and place for people to connect and interact with people. The place of this connection is commonly referred to as "cyberspace", a term popularized & coined by William Gibson in his novel Neuromancer (1984) to mean virtual reality maintained by a vast telecommunications network. (Though as Lance Alexander pointed out to me, its been a root word for a lot longer, including Cybronetics, cyborgs and other cyber-roots ). Dream resources in cyberspace have been pretty limited up until about a year ago, and still are surprisingly sparse, especially considering how comfortable most dream concerned individuals are in imaginal realities. But Columbus has again landed, and this time their are no Natives to be displaced. GETTING ONLINE IS NOW VERY EASY If you have a computer and a modem, the next step is finding an Internet connection. If the university, business or government department you work for has a connection, simply ask around for an account. Most of us use either a commercial online service (like America Online, CompuServe, Prodigy, Genie, Delphi, CerfNet) or subscribe to a local ISP ( Internet service provider). Local providers are now abundant, and easily found by looking in your local newspapers and news stand magazines. In the Bay Area, both Computer Currents and the MicroTimes are free and rich sources of information. I noticed at the London Internet Convention last May that some of these providers are now offering services in the most remote of European countries - even Malta! However, since most of the commercial online services offer a free trial, have fairly easy installation and are easy to use, I would recommend starting with one of them. All have USA toll free numbers, call 1-800-555-1212. GLOSSARY OF TOPICS DISCUSSED ARCHIE: A way to search for files held at FTP sites.

But now has come to mean any useful file pertaining to some particular Net area of interest. FTP: File Transfer Protocol. A way to get remote files of all kinds, including programs, sounds. The places where these files are held are called ftp sites. GOPHER: A menu selection interface to text files (only) held at remote locations. HYPERTEXT: Text that contains links to other documents, other web pages, files or places. IRC: A popular "chat" program via internet that maintains a large amount of on-time rooms where several individuals can "meet" and talk. Commercial servers usually have their own. MAIL LISTS: A way for special interest groups to communicate via email. NEWSGROUPS: The Usenet bulletin boards devoted to special topics. URL: Universal Resource Locator (some say Uniform not Universal). Its a file address written in a way that can be read by a web server. VERONICA (Very Easy, Rodent-Oriented, Net-Wide Index to Computerized Archives) A way to search for files kept at gopher sites. WWW (World Wide Web): A graphic way to travel around the Internet via direct hypertext links THE INTERNET TOOLS There are several easy to use tools that are available and they can be assembled in various ways to produce new ways to connect with information, ideas and especially people. Here we are just going to briefly define the major tools and later discuss and show a few of the ways they are used in dream related activities. E-MAIL. Electronic mail is the main tool of the Internet and for many its the best and only way to use the net. The key feature about email that most people I meet don't understand is that you don't have to always be online to get and send email. Your email box is held and organized by your Internet server. Friends, colleagues and clients can send you mail anytime of the day and it will wait for you until you go online and collect it. You needn't stay online to read the mail, you can copy it (often automatically) onto your own computer and read and respond at your leisure. And you can send email to anyone in the world with an address, not just the people on your Internet server. I estimate that even on my most expensive Internet server I pay for a full page of email text about two cents. This includes my email to Australia! With an inexpensive way to send notes through the Internet, the possibilities for personal exchange of ideas and development of relationships on a global scale open up. But you can also send email to multiple individuals. While copies of mail not asked for are considered rude, small interests groups can form, do what they need to do and disband without much problem. Several of us have been experimenting with the use of email for basic dream sharing and these will be explored in a later article. Email is also ideal for research projects, not only in sharing and gathering reports, data and survey material, but for joint projects that are separated by great distances. University laboratories in Italy can stay in touch with labs in New Jersey very inexpensively. For longer lasting projects, there are newsgroups, mail lists and Web sites. For information, images and sounds that need to be stored more permanently, there are gophers, ftp sites and WWWeb. Once connected to an Internet server, the first thing you want to do is find out what your Internet email address is. Often your screen name or user name is the first part of the address. The second part is the server's address and type. My screen name at AOL is rcwilk. To send mail to me there someone would simple address the note rcwilk. But if you are at another server, you'll have to include the Internet address. Mine is rcwilk@aol.com which would be pronounced rcwilk at aol dot com. The @ (at) follows my user name and aol is the server and com means its a commercial server. Universities end with .edu businesses often end with .org and government departments have .gov endings. Email and Dreams. Besides the direct connection offered to dream researchers in the area exchange of information and ideas and data, email has also been producing a wide variety of dream sharing. Email is an easy and inexpensive way for two or more people to exchange dreams and discussions about the dreams and seems to provide an environment of warmth and insight that is unexpected in the coldness of computers. It seems that cyberspace offers some significant and meaningful opportunities for global connections that have been unrealistic up to now. Email dream sharing groups can easily start with the simple agreement between two or more individuals to do so, and last as long as the participants wish. The groups may be set up as anonymously as the participants wish. In Cyberspace you can create several "names" and only the best of hackers will be able to find out your true name. Besides the dream sharing between a few individuals, email can also be used to distribute newsletters and what are called ezines (electronic magazines). These ezines can be either like a normal offline magazine, or come out more frequently and be more interactive and again, very inexpensive, a few cents per copy. I've been editing one such ezine for about a year and its become a way to set up dream sharing experiments and orient dreamers as they come online. No one really owns the ezine, and so the form changes with the interest of the participants. There are plans in the works for showing how this will all work at the 1996 ASD conference in Oakland, but we can begin the project right now. Send me an email and tell me if you are interested in trying A. an email dreaming Internet tour, B. an email dream sharing group C. joining remotely to the ASD conference via email C. would like a free email subscription to Electric Dreams ezine. Send to rcwilk@aol.com MAIL LISTS The natural extension of the group mailing via email is the mail list. Thousands of topics are discussed on mail lists and endless packages of information are distributed. To join a mail list you have to subscribe or sign up via a special request email. Afterwards, any mail you send to the address is distributed to everyone else on the list. Some Mail Lists operate more like a news service, while others operate more on a group discussion level. Dreams and Mail Lists I'm not aware of any specifically dream oriented mail lists outside of the Electric Dreams mail list that discusses specific dreams and meanings, and I'm surprised. I feel this will probably emerge as the next most meaningful way to share dreams in a group setting. Its private, inexpensive and easy once the mail list has been set up. Mail lists could be used for any small project where remotely located individuals need to discuss topics and keep the whole group informed. We'll be using a mail list to discuss the Internet projects with ASD affiliates for the next convention. For an article on Mail Lists and Dream Communities via web, go to: gopher://gopher.igc.apc.org:70/00/orgs/iidcc/articles/3 Or to have the file delivered to your e-mail box, send a e-mail: To: agora@www.undp.org Subject: get online dreams In Body put: send gopher://gopher.igc.apc.org:70/00/orgs/iidcc/articles/3 USENET NEWSGROUPS Unlike e-mail, which is usually one-to-one, or Mail Lists which are one-to-many, Usenet is many-to-many. This is *not* live or real time chat, but posts and response to posts (creating "threads") left over hours, days and weeks. These are the bulletin boards of cyberspace. They aren't called bulletin boards because we've already been calling the call up by modem/phone boards on single computers "bulletin boards" for years (usually abbreviated BBs). Though connected, Usenet is not technically part of Internet, but most people think it is and some think that Internet *is* Usenet. There are hundreds of topics in discussion. Each newsgroup has a FAQ file, or a Frequently Asked Questions file which I suggest you read before posting questions. The FAQ gives you an idea of the most asked questions and the flow of the newsgroup. To find out if your server carries the Usenet newsgroups, ask them. All major commercial servers carry them. Also ask for a help file. Each host uses a different reader software to access and organize the newsgroups. Generally the procedure is to go to a particular area or menu selection containing a list of the groups (often the menu or keyword "internet" or "ascend" will take you there). You then select or "subscribe" to the one you are interested in and then you can "enter" the newsgroup. Since anyone can post, usually the level of conversation is preliminary and shallow. In the alt.dreams newsgroup you will find a list of posts from "Why do my teeth fall out in my dreams?" to "Hey, I had a lucid dream!" You can access Newsgroups best with a newsreader provided by your ISP or commercial online service, but they are also accessible via the web by entering the address like alt.dreams with a pre fix of news: so that the address will look like this; news:alt.dreams Dreams and newsgroups There are three at this time related to dreaming. alt.dreams, alt.dreams.lucid and now alt.dream.castaneda. As mentioned, the level of discussion fluctuates quite a bit. Most dream concerned individuals I've talked with on the net find the newsgroup discussions flat and disappointing and have left them to go on and start other forms of net interaction. I feel this is the function of the boards at this time, to be a news and meeting place. Another problem is that they are very expensive for anyone who has to pay for actual online time. At this time its only realistic to read the boards/group posts online. Once our modems are faster, we'll be able to download the boards quite quickly and the cost will drop. This still leaves the quality question. I also feel, especially with the dream boards, that we could return to the boards *as* a group and up the level of the discussions. Occasional comments from distractors and mischievous children would have to be tolerated. One creative individual who did use the boards at one time but now offers an alternative is John Herbert. He has a semi-private group/board and runs a program every other week or so using an Ullman/Zimmer variation. The problem is that the board is only on AOL and unavailable to non-subscribers. Still, I see no reason why his method couldn't be used by a group on alt.dreams bulletin board. We may also use these newsgroup boards for the 1996 conference. Interested participants could create topics at the beginning of the conference and any who wish could make comments as the conference goes along. The topics needn't end once the conference is over. If you have topics on dreaming you would like to see discussed on an ongoing basis, from the question of the ethics of interpretation to the issue of REM = dreaming, send them in. FTP, GOPHER AND TRANSFERRING FILES If you are searching for information or want to go and get a file on some topic, the menu driven gophers are the way to go-fer it. Gopher-space is a menu-based interface. One simply connects with a main menu, and begins making selections, usually from the more general to the more specific. The word "gopher" is used in cyberspace to refer to the software that you use to connect with the menus, as well as the gopher sites themselves. Once you have worked your way down to the file you want via the menu selections, the information can be transferred to a file/directory on your home computer and you can read the file offline. Now there is a special search, find and get tool called VERONICA (Very Easy, Rodent-Oriented, Net-Wide Index to Computerized Archives) that can speed all this menu wander up a bit if you know more specifically what you are looking for. Dreams and Gopherspace At this time the only gopher dedicated to dreaming is my IIDCC community center. For more information send email to the automatic reply iidcc-info@igc.apc.org The gopher projects (including creating an online dream research center) will be discussed in a later article. In general, ASD may wish to set up a series of packages of information on dreams, dreaming and dreamers that could be accessed by interested parties via these easy menu selections. If you do run across information that you feel is related to the dream community, send the addresses along. FTP: (File Transfer Protocal) All email and gopher based files are in what's called ascii (pronounced ass' key) text format which basically means most of your communications are going to be in basic text, no underlining, bold or italics, no special fonts, pictures or binary computer files. There are several encoding mechanisms now used to get around this, but these procedures take some time to work out properly. What *is* available is FTP, (File Transfer Protocal) which can retrieve text and binary files from what is called an FTP Site. There are hundreds of these sites with every imaginable program & text files, sounds, and images available. Some are free, some are called "shareware" and you can use them for awhile and then pay for them if you like them, others want payment first. Some considerations. The first is that many of the programs are compressed and so decompression programs are needed. Most commercial Internet servers have these available for you to transfer (download) to your computer and have been pre-scanned for viruses. Programs on FTP sites have not necessarily be scanned for viruses. The rule now is that email and text files can't really contain viruses, so you are safe as long as you don't download actual computer programs. If you plan to download lots of programs, you'll want to get a scanner. Commercial servers check their own programs, but its always good to have your own virus scanner, also available from the server and other places on the Internet. I've never found a virus, though I keep hearing about them. Each commercial server has a slightly different way of allowing access to gophers and ftp and file transfers. Ask them for a file describing the procedures. Again, the Web is quickly becoming the way to access these sights, but its important to know they are set up more like file directories on your personal computer than like web sites were everything is upfront and apparent. Dreams and FTP I mostly use ftp sites as work sites, exchanging binary pictures and programs around the world that are mostly Internet related. But I feel that the dream community could use a site to keep not only useful text files in compressed form, but programs for general use and research, from statistic programs to survey forms. Also, dream art that is scanned and converted to binary form may be stored and shared from an ftp site. World Wide Web (WWW) This is the newest and perhaps the easiest way to travel around the Internet and access all the above venues. With Gopher menus, you can travel from one menu to another due to the underlying linked addressing system. If we take this linkage one step further and developed a system where the files themselves could be linked, add the FTP graphics, sounds and (occasional) movies, you would then have a Web page. Now ideas can be linked directly simply by selecting the highlighted words in a text or a picture. This hypertext linkage is accomplished thanks to something called URLs -- Universal Resource Locators. URLs list the location of any Internet resource. To travel on the web you need a web browser. All major commercial servers either have them or are about to provide them. With a web browser you can travel to gophers and get files, FTP sites and get programs, as well as "Home pages" of people and leave messages and interact in other creative ways. While the web will come to dominate Internet time and resources, for me its kind of like walking around in world of billboards and no people. I find email and its variations are still the most personal and thoughtful of cyberspace communications. Still, the Web offers a chance to redefine the categories of interaction now available and can be like an interactive art museum. Its as though each of us now has his or her own TV channel. The moving pictures a just a little ways off, but not that far. CHAT ROOMS, IRC AND IPHONE IRC or Internet Relay Chat, is a popular way to communicate online with a group of people from around the world. Chat channels are accessible via a variety of IRC software designed to work with either your ISP or Commercial Service Provider (CSP). CSP's have been hesitant to allow their subscribers onto IRC channels and I haven't found one ISP that makes it really easy, but some now do allow IRC. In place of this, the CSP's have provided a rich assortment of local chat rooms, (mostly infamous for the sex talk that occurs). One great use of this is by Donna Campos on Compuserve. Each Monday at 10:00 est she has guests come and talk about dreams and dream related topics. You can find her Dream Studio in the New Age Forum B. The Edge of the Edge is Iphone, which is much like your telephone. With Iphone software and a cooperative ISP or CSP, you can talk with your voice to others who also have Iphone. At this time there aren't a lot of people with Iphone, but the rates for International Calls can't be beat. On AOL I have talked to friends in Austrailia for less than $3.00 and hour!

If you link your dreams with those of your fellow dreamers, you can help the FBNC incubate an upcoming waking state event and an ongoing dream continuum as well. Follow the suggestions in this newsletter and you will aid in the preparation, seeding and watering of a special field of dreams which will flower in the summer. The culmination of our efforts will occur at the 1996 ASD conference. The Association for the Study of Dreams will be meeting at the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley, California from July 9th-13th. But you can play along, whether you will be physically present at the conference or not! Communal Magic has several phases. Dream Ahead '96 gathers psychic and create-our-own-reality archetypal dreams, prior to July. In this newsletter are tips and goals to help hone your incubation, precognitive and social dreaming skills. The Magical Mutual Ballroom is the focus for shared dreaming. The goal is to dream of meeting your fellow revelers at the Dream Ball (which occurs in waking reality at the Claremont Hotel Ballroom on Saturday evening, July 13th). The Flying Carpet will be a mural on the wall of the Claremont Hotel conference Communal Dream Room. This homebase will be the collection point of our social collage, the framework for our group dream "painting." And you help can "paint," literally, by contributing pictures, drawings, and the like. Or you can "paint" word pictures with written dream reports, poetry, comments and graffiti. The Flying Carpet will include the entire Dream Ahead '96 collection as well as dreams dreamt during the conference period. Because there will be computer connections at the Claremont, if you are at a distance, you will be able to send in dreams via modem to CaseyFlyer@aol.com. Bit and pieces will come together and form our visual record of the gathering, before it literally happens and while it is symbolically unfolding. It will be interesting to see how much preconference dreaming incubates the actual waking event. How much magic will we invite into our lives? Select dreamlets and artwork received from Dream Ahead '96 will be published as a Dream Ahead '96 Sampler in the Spring NightFlyer (newsletter of the Fly-By-Night Club). A synopsis of the events, as well as corresponding dream elements, will be published after the conference in the Summer NightFlyer. A title, date and your full name or pseudonym on your dream reports will help distinguish each special dream. Typed records are easiest for your fellow dreamers to read. Remember-all dream-inspired artistic productions are welcome, too! Send to Dream Flights, 1083 Harvest Meadow Court, San Jose, CA 95136 or to CaseyFlyer@aol.com. The Two Dream Programs Once upon a time in the future there was, is and will be a communal gathering. This gathering takes place in that creative region where intuition turns into imagery, ideas become symbols and from which the known universe arises. The communal gathering plays in the theater of dreams in two forms. One is literal, the other symbolic. Both programs feature celebration, social connection and merrymaking in The Magical Mutual Ballroom. Literal Dreaming If your dreaming mind selects the program marked "literal," then your Communal Magic dreams will correspond to the actual event in the Claremont Hotel Ballroom. In this case your magic will manifest itself in those traditional psychic dreams called precognitive, clairvoyant or telepathic. Because the Dream Ball is already in the planning stage and because it already exists in the minds of folks who will attend in the waking state, the psychic blueprints are available now for dream viewing. Your own dreaming self can serve as a roaming reporter. Whether using video camera or still shots, your dreaming mind can reveal one piece (or several!) of the giant Dream Ball picture puzzle. Perhaps you might picture a winning costume for the Dream Ball. Or maybe you'll see a fellow reveler who will be there. Or maybe you'll dream of the Claremont Ballroom itself. What happens at a literal Dream Ball? Music, dancing, talking. Drinks and often food munching. The awarding of ribbons for the dream telepathy contest and for the best costumes. A social, fun gathering at the conference end. Archetypal Dreaming But do you have literal-mundane dreams all the time? Does your dreaming self ever shape shift, scene shift, go through walls or travel through time? Do you want to find out? Then target the Magical Mutual Ballroom in the archetypal conference. If your dreaming mind selects the tape marked "symbolic," then you will unwrap the surface facade to reveal the magic within. For symbolic dreamers, the hall does not have to comply with physical attributes. The activities or appearance of the dreaming selves are not limited to what is possible in the waking state. Other mutual projects have already provided a sneak peek into this ongoing Big Dream communal gathering. A synopsis of past archetypal dreams will be posted on the Flying Carpet. Past projects revealed that each symbolic dreamer paints an inner picture which is an individual variation on the main theme. But over time, some elements of this long-playing theater of the mind are found to be held in common: Scenery and props (color, furniture, hall attributes) Characters (hair color, costume) Story line (activities) I'll give you a hint about one favorite activity at this level of existence. The Magical Mutual Ballroom is where the super selves gather. In the archetypal version of the Magical Mutual Ballroom, it is possible to fly. Dream Ahead Goals These are suggested goals to give you the flavor of the event. Try as many or few as you wish or come up with some creative variations or combinations of your own. Do them any time. (Consult your dreaming self for the best results!) #1: Invite The Dreaming Self To Step Forward Ask your dreaming self, "Will you let your magic shine?" This goal might give you some ideas for a literal outfit to wear to the Dream Ball. But you can also use a variation to preview either the costumes or inner selves of fellow revelers. #2: Dream Up The Magical Mutual Ballroom Ask your dreaming self, "What's your favorite social arena?" Use this goal to see if you picture shared space similarly to fellow symbolic dreamers. Or incubate a precognitive dream to preview the literal ballroom. #3: Greet Your Dream Companions Ask your dreaming self, "What type of friendly interaction do we prefer?" Dream up a scene in which you socialize with the folks in your dream. Say hello, hug, shake hands, wave, smile, talk. #4: Practice Flying! Need we tell you why? Try dual flying or group flying for a change. ALERT! April 20th is the due date to send in your dreams and drawings for possible publication in the NightFlyer Dream Ahead '96 Sampler. The Magical Mutual Ballroom: Dated Goals Now that we've learned our parts and created the scenery, costumes and props in the dream theater, it's time for dress rehearsal. Mark these dates on your calendar. #5: Dress Rehearsal of the Flying Dreamers: Saturday, May 18th This is the in-dream meeting at the Magical Mutual Ballroom of the Fly-By-Night Club to practice antics for the final event. What shall we do? Sing the FBNC anthem? Dance in the air? Tell jokes? Discuss dreamwork? Nah, too boring. #6: Dress Rehearsal of the Participants at the Conference: Wednesday, July 10th This is the date when ASD conference attendees will be first introduced to the Communal Magic group dreaming project in a conference presentation at the Communal Dream Room. They will view the Flying Carpet and be invited to dream together that night. You can dream along with them, too, if you wish. #7: Grand Finale-Dream Ball at the Claremont Hotel: Saturday, July 13th Meet in the waking state; meet in the dream. Dream Ahead Tips Incubation Exercise (This exercise is inspired by the work of Alan Vaughan (author of The Power of Positive Prophecy, HarperCollins, 1991) and Marcia Rose Emery (author of Dr. Marcia Emery's Intuition Workbook, Prentice Hall). Write out or dictate on a tape recorder instructions such as these before going to bed: "Hello, dreaming self. Please show me a simple picture I can understand. I will arise early in the morning with the dream picture fresh in my mind. I shall be able to remember it easily and write it down. Its meaning will become clear to me. I will honor your opinion, dreaming self." About Time Shift Remember, time is loose in dream reality! You know about precognitive and retrocognitive dreams. Also recall that an incubation can take time to manifest a dream response. Then realize that a dated goal is an incubation. Mutual goal dates mean that on a particular night, group intent will provide a strong synergistic shot of energy to be "sent" out into the universe. But just as there can be a time delay in receiving mail, so your own mind receiver may not turn on and tune into the energy until you are psychologically prepared to receive it. So if you do not get a dream on a specified date, don't give up! Try again. In mutual dreaming, the most important question is not, did I time it right? Your best clue is to ask yourself, does this dream have that special social flavor? That's the dream you send in to Dream Flights 1083 Harvest Meadow Court San Jose, CA 95136 CaseyFlyer@aol.com * Cynthia Pearson reports that the Friends In Pennsylvania have agreed to write the lyrics to the Fly-By-Night Club anthem! The melody, you already know. It's the theme from the "Mickey Mouse Club." Tune up your windpipes: the song should be ready for our first waking state Fly-By-Night Club Meeting in July at ASD '96. * There are plans for a Costume Creation and Assembling event at the '96 ASD Conference in preparation for the Dream Ball. It will take place in the Communal Dream Room on Saturday afternoon, July 13th. Linda Lane Magallon is collecting costumes, cloth and sewing material and art materials for this event. * For more information about the Conference, contact The Association for the Study of Dreams, PO Box 1600, Vienna, VA, 22183.

The name Yahoo! is supposed to stand for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle" but Filo and Yang insist they selected the name because they considered themselves yahoos. Yahoo! itself first resided on Yang's student workstation, "akebono" while the search engine was lodged on Filo's computer, "konishiki." (These machines were named after legendary Hawaiian sumo wrestlers.) In early 1995 Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Netscape Communications in Mountain View, Ca. (and the developer of the two most popular Web-browsers) invited Filo and Yang to move their files over to larger computers housed at Netscape. As a result Stanford's computer network returned to normal, and both parties benefited. Today, Yahoo! contains organized information on tens of thousands of computers linked to the Web.
