Pregnant
Women's Dreams We would like to invite you to participate
in an international research project on pregnant women's dreams. By examining
your dreams and feelings and those of other pregnant women, we hope to discover
something new about the meaning and significance of dreams and feelings during
this particular life change; and strive toward a better understanding of how
to help with possible difficulties and stresses that this experience might
entail. Participation in this research project involves writing down your
dreams (one week/month during the pregnancy) and filling out questionnaires
concerning your pregnancy and how you feel, as well as some background biographical
information. Requirements for participation are: 1) You have completed high
school. 2) You are fluent in written English. 3) You are pregnant (first trimester,
second trimester, or early in the third trimester). 4) You would be able to
come to New York City for one initial meeting. You do not need to recall your
dreams every night to participate. Variation in dream recall is common and
different levels of recall are welcome. If you decide you might be interested
in participating in this research, please send your name and telephone number
to the e-mail address below, and indicate good times to reach you. We will
then call you and further explain the study procedures and would also be pleased
to answer any questions you might have about the investigation and your participation.
If you agree to participate in the research, one of us would meet with you
and explain the process of your participation in our project in detail and
answer any questions. You would receive the research materials and fill out
the first form asking you how you feel. After the investigation is completed
one of us would be glad to share with you in a more complete fashion both
the objectives and the results of the research. Your contribution will expand
the information available to pregnant women everywhere, and help them to understand
and prepare themselves better for the experience of pregnancy. We personally
believe that your participation in this project could enrich an already unique
experience in your life, and leave you with a collection of dreams as a special
memory.For more information, contact Pia Wigren E-mail: DreamResearch@aol.com

Dreamers
Needed for Psychic Dreaming Project I will have a test
group of twenty people, possibly more. Dreamers will record dreams or dream
fragments upon waking, and will then see if anything happens in their waking
life which corresponds to their dreams. Contact Lori Makin-Byrd, makinbyrd@hotmail.com
Call
for Precognitive Dreams.To be used in an upcoming
book by Alan Vaughan, Dreams and Destiny which will test four hypotheses:
1. That dream precognition operates like memory of the past and that peak
emotional events can be dreamed of many years in the future, akin to long-term
memory, 2. That individual dreamers have distinctive "mindprints" in relation
to time, 3. That days on which the earth's magnetic field is of lower strength
than usual will correlate significantly with the times of precognitive dreaming,
and 4. That "intuition-favorable" days indicated by astrology will correlate
significantly with the times of precognitive dreams. Send your precognitive
dream data to: Alan Vaughan, Ph.D., 1567 Silverwood Drive #B, Los Angeles,
CA 90041. Fax: 213-257-4242. Email AlanPsy@aol.com.
Looking
for Material on Prophetic Dreams I'm doing a research
paper on Prophetic dreams and am having some trouble finding material. I already
have the primary sources of the Bible and the Koran, but I am limited on secondary
sources and that is what I need. So far I found a man name Josephus who has
much to say on prophetic dreams, but I need other people's opinions. So if
you know any books or websites that you can recommend I would greatly appreciate
it Thanks - Sobia asm212@is8.nyu.edu
Dream
Puns and Plays on Words Wanted If you have had one
or more dreams which were very meaningful to you and which related directly
to an issue then under consideration (where the recognition of the pun/play
was a key to your understanding), then I hope you will consider sharing the
report, in your own words, of that dream with me. Email John Herbert at jherbert@alum.mit.edu
Dreams
Related to Retirement We have commenced a project
funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation in which we wish to explore
the effects retirement might have on dream life. We are also seeing if a weekly
opportunity to tell a dream has beneficial effects on those going through
this life transition. If anyone has had a dream in which the theme of retirement
and leaving the work place has paid a role, we would be very interested in
learning of them. The person communcating such a dream should include his
or her age at the time of retirement and the proximity of the dream to the
retirement date (i.e., how long before or afterwards). Thank you. Dr. A. ("Art")
Funkhouser, Bern, Switzerland. Email: atf@alum.mit.edu
Songs
& Dream Music Project I am currently collecting all
the songs that I can find which are about Dreams. Please send your suggestions
to: dreaming@changingworld.com Each person who sends in at least one suggestion,
will get back my list of over 60 such songs. I would like to know: song name,
artist, name of recording it's on, date if know. Warning: there are many songs
with "Dream" in the title or lyrics which are not REALLY about dreams, and
many that are about dreams that do not say so explicitly. So the challenge
is to locate the best ones that ARE about dreams. This is part of a larger
Dream Music Project. For that I am also looking for "Dream-like" music. This
can include instrumental music that evokes the feeling of dreaming, or music
that is dream-inspired. Or music on topics that are only related to dreams
tangentially, or only for you. The broader question here might be something
like: "If you were dreaming of a long street lined with theaters, bars, pet
& pawn shops; different music in each one, which kinds of music would you
hear coming out of the nearest three or four places? Which would you go into?
What would the music turn into after you got inside?" As you can tell, you
can really let you mind wander with this. Any thoughts you have are appreciated.
I hope for diverse perspectives. This project will lead to written articles
& perhaps compilation recordings. Send to Dick McLeester at: VisionWorks,
PO. Box 92, Greenfield, MA. 01302, email: dreaming@changingworld.com
Spider
and Serpent Dreams Wanted I am working on a book
about SPIDER and SERPENT DREAMS. Please send me dreams with spiders and/ or
serpents, if you know someone who just has published on these topics, myths,
fairy-tales, films, links and so on with these animals. Please e-mail to johanna_vedral@hotmail.com,
Or write to: Mag. Johanna Vedral, Dr.J.Resch-Pl.3/15, A-1170 Vienna, Austria,
Europe
Staying
Awake While Asleep What I am trying to locate
is a group (if it exists) that is interested in exploring staying awake while
asleep. That is to say the whole ball of wax---going to sleep, taking it on
down, watching the various stages, having some control, exploring the deeper
areas, etc. It appears that I have been able to do this from time to time,
depending on circustances in my life. The first few minutes are not so difficult.
Also, going to sleep while standing up and walking around seems to be possible.
If anyone out there has similar experiences or interests, let me know: "Bruce
F. Wayland" bwayland@sccoast.net
Dream
Symbols and Popular Culture We are a general trade
publisher with a focus in the area of symbolism and popular culture. Currently,
we are working on a major series of books which focus on the synchronicity
between the top products of popular culture (films, TV series, songs, books,
songs, etc.) and collective unconsciousness. We feel products are the key
modern symbols and are asking if there is a connection between them and collective
unconsciousness. We are looking at the products which occur at the same time
and seeing if there are patterns between the products and other cycles in
culture. This goes against traditional methods of investigation which focus
on causal connections. We are looking at simultaneous (synchronistic) events.
We would be very interested to know if anyone tracking dreams has found correlations
between the most popular symbols of dreams and events in popular culture.
We would really appreciate your comments on the above idea. Is the above type
of research being done by anyone today? Do you feel it is a worthwhile area
of reasearch? Is it feasible to do this? Please send your thoughts to: John

Tibetan
Dream Yoga Meets Western Power Napping: Sleep Posture, the Nasal Cycle, and
Naps For over 1,000 years, the Tibetan Buddhists
have been practicing lucid dreaming as a means of approaching enlightenment.
In this pursuit, they have developed elaborate techniques for inducing lucidity.
Some of these are esoteric beyond the capacity of the uninitiated Western
mind to conceive, let alone practice. However, others bear a striking resemblance
to the techniques now employed by Western oneironauts, for example, frequent
reflection throughout the day on the dreamlike nature of reality. The Lucidity
Institute is grateful to the Fetzer Institute, which has provided them with
funding to investigate the value of ancient Tibetan lucid dreaming induction
techniques in the West. One such avenue which has been little explored to
date is that of posture during sleep. They have conducted a few NightLight
experiments over the years in this area. However, the number of articipants
has been too small to allow reliable conclusions. Thus, they are once more
offering an experiment investigating sleep posture and nasal laterality (an
ancient Yogic technique for influencing states of mind), combined this time
with the extraordinarily powerful napping technique of inducing lucid dreams.
Thus, this experiment has two goals. One is to further refine the nap technique,
which we have found to be the most effective of all for inducing lucid dreams.
This study will help establish whether 30 or 60 minutes of wakefulness inserted
in the latter part of a night's sleep is more likely to lead to lucidity.
Second, they wish to clarify the results of a previous night Light experiment
on nasal laterality, gender and lucid dreaming. Some Tibetan lore suggests
that men and women should sleep on opposite sides, because their energy channels
are reversed. They would like to find out if this is fact or superstition.
They have made this experiment as simple as possible so that more of you will
participate. By using naps, they expect to collect a lot more lucid dreams
than in previous attempts, and that's good news for participants as well!
Please join in this endeavor and help bring Tibetan Dream Yoga to life in
the West. If you are interested in participating, please email The Lucidity
Institute with your postal address and we will send you a copy of the NightLight
experiment. We will also make the experiment available online at our website
in Adobe pdf format. Email to: research@lucidity.com
Transformational
Dreams Rosemary Ellen Guiley, author of "Encyclopedia
of Dreams" and "Angels of Mercy" is researching a book on the spiritual dimensions
of dreaming, to be published by Berkeley. She is looking for dreams that bring
life-changing spiritual guidance, healing and creative breakthroughs, plus
dreams involving magical elements, lucidity, past lives, precognition, out-of-body
experiences, communication with the dead, encounters with angels, spirit guides,
audition (disembodied voices) and otherworldly places and beings. Emphasis
will be given to the transformative nature of such dreams. Contact Rosemary

White
Light Dreams For a college research project, I am
collecting descriptions of what I call "White Light" dreams in which a brilliant
sparkling light illuminates an object, the environment, a person, and/or you.
If you think you have had one or more of these such dreams and are willing
to share them with me, please write a description of the dream(s) with specific
attention to anything about the white light plus any emotions you experienced.
If you can remember any relevant life circumstances around the time of the
dream, add those as well. Include your age and gender along with the description.
No names please. Send it to cmlemieu@colby.edu.
I look forward to hearing from you and until then, sweet dreams!
"Winged
Horse" Study Searching for persons interested to
join in the Study of a most fabulous "Mega Dream".... Some 16 years ago, I
was the victim of a puzzling dream in which I mounted and flew on the spiritual
Winged-Horse "Pegasus"... similarly to Mohammed in the year 621 of this era
and the Greek hero Bellerophon in times immemorial... who both also did the
same in time preserved "Most Famous Dreams". If Carl C. Jung was around, he
would be more than delighted to analyze this particular and most revealing
"Historical Dream" which, in late Greek Antiquity was INTERPRETED as... hold
on to your hat...an ALLEGORY of the IMMORTALITY of the SOUL!!! Therefore,
anyone interested in most fundamental existentialist questions wishing to
seriously investigate the rational logic behind this Ancient Greek belief
are more than welcomed to join this "no strings attached" open e-mail group
study. Simply contact Gérald D'Aoust,the group Animator, at
gdaoust@icrdl.net and you will be supplied with the dream and gradually,
on a weekly basis, with the most incredible universal data coming with the
Magical Horse....Finally, from your own individual analysis you will be requested
to draw your final conclusions upon this enigmatic dream subject. Considering
this Wonderful Horse to be a symbol of spiritual freedom..." Feel free to
join the Winged-Horse Dream Study "
