Interactive Drea
ming
is a new and unique multimedia software program, combining a dream journal
and database with user tutorials and interactive exercises, all aimed at integrating
personal dreamwork with individual creativity, spontaneous learning and intuition.
Extremely easy to navigate and use, Interactive Dreaming is the first dream
software program to take full advantage of computer multimedia capabilities,
incorporating sound, moving images and dreamer participation with a wide range
of practical and informative materials, including a bibliography and references
to dream-related web sites. The main menu is divided into fourteen modules
representing different aspects of dream theory or dreamworking, visually arranged
around an image symbolizing the human mind. Subject areas include an introduction
to dreams, the language of dreams, journalling, intentionality, building skills,
creativity, personal change, improving recall, nightmares or frightening dreams,
solving problems, pleasurable or helpful dreams, dreamwork, pre-lucid dreaming,
and lucid dreaming & beyond. Dreamers can follow the path of the modules in
a linear fashion for a proessive instruction in dreamworking techniques, or
can select a module at random based on the demands of the dream itself. Each
module includes text, audio, interactive activities, tools and concepts. Of
special interest are several guided visualizations and a sound recorder which
enables the dreamer to enter voice notes about their dreams. Interactive Dreaming
was created by Ann Klein, a licensed marriage and family therapist, who received
the idea through a dream incubation, and who was guided by her dreams throughout
the entire development and production process. Whether you're a therapist,
an experienced dreamer or a novice dreamworker, Interactive Dreaming offers
a highly synthetic approach to understanding and working with dreams in a
holistic manner. For more information, contact Interactive Dreaming, P.O.
