Dreams
(Continued)
Jean Campbell
On the night of November 16, I had an IASD dream. However, it was
a precognitive dream, and because the future hadn't happened yet, I
didn't feel comfortable sending in the dream.
Putting Up the Silent Auction/International Bazaar
In the dream, May Tung, Liz Diaz and I are putting out items on tables
at the upcoming Berkeley conference for a silent auction. I lift
something soft, like a table cloth, out of a box and smile up at Liz and
May, who are doing the same thing. EOD
Now, that's all of the dream, but the story behind it is that just the
day before I had asked Bob Hoss and Marcia Emery, this year's conference
host and program chair, if it might be possible for The World Dreams
Peace Bridge to sponsor a silent auction at the conference. I knew
that nobody else was planning an auction, and members of the Peace
Bridge had talked about finding a way to subsidize expenses for some of
its members who live at a distance from Berkeley to come to the
conference.
Bob and Marcia had not yet made their decision on the Dream In day.
Now, however, they have agreed to the International Bazaar and silent
auction, so this dream of mine is coming true. The World Dreams
Peace Bridge would like to invite all members of IASD to support this
auction, which will provide a way for members, who otherwise might not
be able to come, to travel to the conference.

On the night for incubating a
dream I had a short one that may give some advice to me and IASD.
I am riding uphill on a snowy road with my mother driving the car. She
stays to the right in snow that is deeper and more difficult to plough
through and I suggest that she move more to the center where there are
tracks that make passage easier.
The meaning I drew from this is that old-fashioned ways of doing things
work, but more slowly and with more effort. Staying too far to the right
on one's own is not as favorable as joining the path of others who are
going in the same direction, (towards the same goals?)sooner.
That's what this Pledge Drive is like, moving along more smoothly and
easily with the help of those who have gone before leaving a good trail
to follow. Going alone we can still get there, but joined together we
become a force!
Jean's dreamtime school

Harry Bosma
In a large classroom, without much
furniture. We're standing in half circle looking towards the front of
the room. The other half of the circle has less people standing in it,
just enough to suggest that this is not an ordinary teaching situation.
Left in the front is Jean. She has the results of the dreaming test. Oh
my God, has she been dreaming with all of us from start to finish?
Amazing! And probably most of us have been dreaming together in various
long dreams. This certainly is not a group for beginners.
Jean says that as could be expected with her, the ratings are not with
numbers, but with letters. I look at a board that lists participants and
short comments (not just letters) on their results, while Jean keeps
talking. There's an Ilpin, hey who is that, and another name (Rosa?) I
don't know either. The two did quite well. There are more unknown names.
Ilkin is on the list, she is praised for being able to have very long
dreams. I quickly scan for my name. There is an Alchera at the bottom of
the list. Perhaps this is used as my alias, but I don't understand why.
The comment says that Alchera is a strong dreamer (short but powerful),
and mentions the ability to connect to previous dreams. That last thing
is a typical software feature, I don't see what it has to do with me.
Notes: A dollar a dream, huh?
I'm not sure whether this was a lucid dream, but during the dream I
assumed that this has to do with a dream class that is being taught in
the dream state, including the scene in this dream.
I didn't see anybody else I knew, not even Ilkin. Oh, and Alchera is of
course my dream software that aims at helping people with dreaming. The
word Alchera means the Dreamtime.
The future of the IASD: courses given while in the dream state. :-)
People abandoning train
16-nov-2004, 06.30 am.
Harry Bosma
On the balcony of a long and full train. Even here most of the seats are
taken. B. is here. People are moving out into the wagon. I ask why. They
are going to leave. B. is one of the first. I wonder why they won't
simply go out here, but first move towards the head of the train. I
notice that some of the chairs are a yard under the floor of the wagon,
which is odd (not sure about the level of lucidity here). I also notice
that the chairs are filthy, mostly with crumps of dry mud. I find that a
bit rude.
Meanwhile, the outside doors on my left have pivoted open, like the
doors of older Ferrari's dialed open. I wonder what the meaning of this
is. I look at it for a while. I find it stressful.
I've moved to the head of the train, meet my mother. I'm even outside of
the train. Back in the train, I show mam that I the nail of my thumb is
broken right through the middle vertically. I'd better take some rest.
I'm looking for a place to lie down. One of the few remaining people, a
young man, looks somewhat suspicious and angry at me, probably for also
stepping out.

"IASD People"

Ralf Penderak
In the first part, some man from IASD is there. I don't recall details,
but I don't feel comfortable, he demands lot of work.
Later on I dream again on this part and see him filling empty spaces in
my aura/ positions on a circle and think half awake, that I simply
attract this man by what I am, by what I need.
Then I dream of a woman of IASD close to me (somewhere in Germany, so it
seems), who is in need of help. And think, this could be a good task for
me.

"City of Water"
November,

Ralf
I'm outside on a street with someone. It is raining hard and the ditches
on the side are streaming with wild water. I point to my companion, that
the new trenches are working on their limits, but they do it. On one
central point on the bottom of this slope water is vanishing in a large
hole with a wild vortex.
Next thing I remember is diving under a city build on stakes. I'm seeing
the floor of house from below. It is a game of swim and hide. My
contestant can't dive that long, and I'm wondering, why I can hold
breath that long under water. I find a small reservoir of air below one
floor and take a breath.
Then I'm diving to the other side, finding myself in a pond with
children laughing and playing.
Later on, in one of those houses, there is a party going on. But a
moderator tries to do a short meditation, asks me for some fitting
music. At first I can't think of any CD, but then I remember one. Put it
in. It is rather hard music, reminding of Pink Floyd. Moderator gives me
another CD to put in. We meditate, but only a short time. I want to go
in deeper, but for him it seems to be enough. I guess he isn't satisfied
with the outcome.
I remember me singing at some point of time.
Comment: I guess this one relates more to my personal life, the emotions
I'm currently living.
But then there is an element of being together, of meeting with people,
having a party, also meditating. I just think, this could be a hint for
us:
To find the right music and get in a meditative mood sometimes, besides
all the activities in which we engage.
I also like the children's energy in the end of the water - part. Takes
me back to the vivid emotions, to the curiosity and joy of being a
child.
Gosh had water in her dream, too. I guess my dream water could easily
fill that dry river bed.
E-motion, yeah!

Crystal Cave
Liz Diaz
I am in what seems to be Monterey
California... looking for a new home maybe. I am walking along a
'boardwalk' that is made of rounded rock walls and pathways that one
would find in a cave. They were sandstone in color.
There are many people there, dining, shopping and just hanging
out. I come to a place of business. It is owned by an
African man. He sells crystals and other minerals and invites me
in. He shows me this opening into a huge cave that contains
crystals and minerals and rocks from all around the world into the bed
and walls of the cave. Any crystal or rock can be found
here. It was a very special place. He walks over and
starts pointing at different sections telling me which each thing is.
I move on in my journey at this
location in Monterey. I believe am trying to see if this would be
my home. I come to an open water area where people are
playing. Seems to be combination lake and ocean. I see above
me a huge wave forming and is going to quickly descend upon everyone
including myself. I was afraid.
Though this was happening, people were
fishing along the edge -- meat, pigs, cattle and other things that were
bobbing in the water. A hook got caught on my son and I was trying
to get him free. EOD

November 16 2004
Goshengolly
Last
night (11/16-17)I dreamed of being displaced from my home, and set up to
sit by the side of a river bed with many others. The river bed was dry,
and gravel filled, but was a safe place to rest, and wait to return
home.
Then I saw water bubbling up in the dry river bed, like a fresh brook,
and it slowly began to create a new river. (hello DG, I hope it is
related to you!). Then two young men entered the newly evolving River
and created small lockes in the river.
Then I was given a glass of water but it was green in color and not safe
to drink. A young man appeared who had saved water from several weeks
ago, and his water was fresher and safe to drink.
My dream may be about IASD, but it also was precognitive for my day
today, and so I feel it is extra special. I interviewed for a job today,
and passed by a small stream with a waterfall that had "lockes"
or steps created for the water to flow over in a beautiful, natural
fountain. I suspected that I might "land" the job, due to the
direct dream reference, because I have discovered that if I dream of a
job and accurate representations of it, prior to interviewing, I
"land" the job. And the reverse theory holds true. If I dream
of losing a job, I know to prepare for this "soon to be"
eventuality.
Somehow, I believe that this dream came to serve two purposes: first a
precognitive dream for me today, and secondly, perhaps an important
message for IASD. For both messages, I am thankful to my "dreambody,"
for making a powerful appearance, once again.
Yours Sincerely,
Goshengolly
