INTRODUCTION TO DREAM WORK
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANY REASONABLY INTELLIGENT PERSON CAN LEARN TO REMEMBER, UNDERSTAND AND USE
THEIR DREAMS FOR FUN AND/OR FOR PERSONAL GROWTH.

SOME OF THE MORE DRAMATIC DREAM POSSIBILITIES AND USES REQUIRE A FAIR AMOUNT OF
TIME AND EFFORT. 

FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS DREAMS HAVE PLAYED AN IMPORTANT PART IN MOST CULTURES IN
THE WORLD. MANY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD BELIEVE THAT DREAMS ARE THE MAJOR WAY GOD
COMMUNICATES WITH HUMAN BEINGS.

SOMEWHERE IN THE PAST, IN THE WESTERN CULTURES, DREAMS WERE COMPLETELY
"DEVALUED", SO MOST PEOPLE IN THESE CULTURES SELDOM REMEMBER THEIR DREAMS.
THEY BELIEVE DREAMS TO BE UNIMPORTANT.

IT THE I950'S TWO THINGS HAPPENED WHICH CAUSED THE "PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITIES"
TO START RE-ACCESSING THE VALUE OF DREAMS.

1. A MAN NAMED CALVIN HALL COLLECTED AND STUDIED CLOSE TO TEN THOUSAND DREAMS
OF "NORMAL PEOPLE" (PREVIOUS TO THIS, ONLY THE DREAMS OF "SICK PEOPLE" HAD BEEN
EXAMINED).

2. SCIENTISTS INVENTED AND CREATED ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT THAT COULD MONITOR,
RECORD, DISPLAY AND ANALYSE MANY BIOLOGICAL AND ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS IN HUMAN
BEINGS, INCLUDING BRAIN WAVES.
THESE DISCOVERIES MADE MODERN DREAM RESEARCH AND DREAM WORK POSSIBLE.

IN THE PAST THIRTY YEARS MAN HAS RESEARCHED DREAMS AND DREAMING IN DEPTH,
UNFORTUNATELY LITTLE OF THIS KNOWLEDGE IS KNOWN OR USED BY THE PUBLIC.

I ASK THOSE OF YOU WHO BECOME "INVOLVED" IN THE "DREAM OPERATIONS" ON THIS BBS
TO TRY TO ACCEPT THE PRINCIPLES, KNOWLEDGE AND METHODS SHARED HER AS
"ESTABLISHED FACTS. (ALL OF IT IS BACKED BY EXCELLENT RESEARCH AND STUDIES
PERFORMED BY PROFESSIONALS HIGHLY RESPECTED IN THEIR FIELDS)

I ASK YOU TO DO THIS WITHOUT A LARGE VOLUME OF QUESTIONS, FOR TO DO THIS
SHARING WELL, WILL REQUIRE A LARGE AMOUNT OF BOTH MY TIME AND MY ENERGY.
I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME NOR AM I INCLINED TO "DEFEND" THIS MATERIAL.
I AM OPEN TO REASONABLE QUESTIONS AND WILL TRY TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS BRIEFLY.
IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO "VALIDATE" THE MATERIAL OR TO "DIG DEEP" INTO IT,
I REFER YOU TO DREAM BOOK LIST FILE.

I WAS A DEDICATED DREAM RESEARCHER FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS. DURING THAT TIME I
CONSUMED OVER 400 BOOKS AND RESEARCH PAPERS ON DREAMS. I TAUGHT DREAM WORK IN
CALIFORNIA, WORKED WITH MY OWN DREAMS AND WITH THOSE OF MY STUDENTS.
WE, TOGETHER, EXPLORED AND EXPERIMENTED WITH THE INFORMATION, THEORIES, AND 
METHODS AVAILABLE TO US. WE DISCARDED THE GARBAGE (THINGS WHICH DID NOT WORK,
OR DID NOT FIT THE CONSISTENT PATTERNS THAT EVOLVED FROM OUR WORK).
WHAT WILL BE SHARED HERE IS THE "CREAM OF THE CROP". IT HAS VERIFIED BY OUR OWN
RESEARCH AND EXPERIENCES.
I ALSO SPENT TWO YEARS WORKING WITH A VERY BRILLIANT PHD PSYCHIATRIST AT A
RESEARCH INSTITUTE IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA. WE, TOGETHER, DEVELOPED SOME
EXCELLENT METHODS OF RE-PROGRAMING BELIEFS AND MATERIAL WHICH IS STORED BELOW
MOST PEOPLES CONSCIOUS AWARENESS, WHICH HEAVILY INFLUENCES OUR "GROWTH" AS WELL
AS OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS. WE ALSO DEVELOPED A METHOD TO TEACH "DREAM
SKILLS" USING CASSETTE TAPES.

SO, I FEEL MYSELF VERY WELL QUALIFIED TO SHARE THIS KNOWLEDGE.


PEOPLE DECIDE TO EXPLORE AND WORK WITH THEIR DREAMS FOR MANY REASONS.

1. SHEER CURIOSITY.
2. WANTING PERSONAL GROWTH AND CHANGE.
3. WANTING TO TAP THEIR FULL CREATIVE POTENTIAL.
4. WANTING TO HAVE FUN.
5. WANTING TO FULFILL DESIRES AND NEEDS NOT BEING
   MET IN THEIR EVERY DAY, "AWAKE" LIFE.
6. WANTING TO FIND THE "TRUTHS OF THE UNIVERSE".
7. WISHING TO BE ABLE TO TRAVEL IN TIME AND SPACE,
   UNFETTERED BY THEIR PHYSICAL BODIES.


WHAT EVER YOUR MOTIVES, WORKING WITH DREAMS WILL REWARD YOU IN MANY WAYS.


              GOOD    LUCK    ON    YOUR    ADVENTURE !
