Dreams of Children or Early Childhood I am looking for dreamers to participate in a qualitative research study. I am specifically looking for dreams of children or dreams remembered from early childhood. It does not matter if they are pleasant or scary. I am working on an innovative parenting program, and I am hoping to improve parent /child relationships through the sharing of dreams. Email wilddreams@email.msn.com Thanks! Lynn.

Dream-Telling Among the Elderly -- Dr. Marcel Bahro from the Geronto-Psychiatry Department of the University Psychiatric Services, Bern, and I have just been awarded a grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation to study the effects of dream-telling among the elderly (i.e., those over 65). We wish to investigate whether or not there are any changes in subjective sleep quality (depth, duration), subjective dream tone (positive, negative), dream recall and sense of well-being if our subjects (60 volunteers from the community divided into 2 control groups and a study group of 20) are given a regular (once a week) opportunity (via telephone) to tell any dreams they may have had over a six month period. Anyone having ideas about other things we could look at or problems we should anticipate are most cordially invited to send them along. Contact Dr. A. T. Funkhouser, Bern, Switzerland, email art_funkhouser@compuserve.com

Ferret Dreams I'm searching for ferret dreams. After finding a little ferret in the park, I discovered ferrets were showing up in my dreams all the time. My own ferret was even flying in a dream! Someone else with ferrets mentioned to me how her daughter told her that whenever she visited and played with the ferrets, she went home and dreamt of ferrets. I began to wonder if ferrets weren't little dreamweavers...weaving their way into our dreams.... Thus, please send any ferret dreams you may care to share. Also, please tell me if you have a ferret living in your home, or if you recently saw a ferret before having the dream. And what did the dream mean to you? Send to Sunday at sundayatdusk@webtv.net

Fish, Worms, Wolves, Cats and Salamanders I am collecting dreams for a book! Any dreams you might like to share of fish, worms, wolves, cats and salamanders, and also numinous dreams of any kind would be welcome. Series of any of these would be especially interesting. Please tell your dream(s) and then a little about what that symbol means for you. If you wish to show the work you have done, including drawings, to arrive at that meaning(s),that would be great, too, though not necessary. Several meanings for a particular symbol are OK, since dreams are many-layered. I would also like to know how old you were when you had each dream. You can email me patkamp@attbi.com or use the online form www.dreamgate.com/dream/kampmeier/

Dreams on Film. I'm compiling a list of films about (or involving, or referring to) dreams, for The Dream Tree's website. If you've seen a dream film, and want to participate in this project, please email me the title and any other information you'd like -- director, actors, plot summary, etc., If you'd like to do a "film review", I'll publish that too, with you credited as the reviewer. Thanks! Peggy.

Searching for Dreams of Future Worlds I am searching for people who have frequent dreams of the future world. I have been keeping an active dream journal for the past five years, during which time I have accumulated over 1,000 dreams. At least 80% of these dreams deal with the world in the future; for the most part the world seen in my dreams is military or computer controlled. Each dream, however, is unique. I am hoping to find others who have similar dreams, perhaps we will be able to come up with a common ground. I have not only recalled dreams but also words, maps, dates and symbols. I would really appreciate hearing of your experiences, even if they are not in the same direction as mine. Please send me your dreams at jmanson@escape.ca

Help a Dream Student…. I am in search of some useful and exciting information about dreams. I am currently a student at California State University of San Bernardino, and I am enrolled in a Philosophy class, which has directed us to search for information about dreams. I was hoping to receive some useful information about the following: Why do we dream? Can we dream while we are awake? What happens in our minds when we dream? And any other information that I can present to the class. If you would please email me back, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Jennifer O'Kelley jokelley@acme.csusb.edu
