*** *** *** ATTENTION [Experiment DREAM'92] PARTICIPANTS!!! *** *** ***

NOTICE:
-------
To anyone interested or involved with the Dream'92 SS Dreamers experiment,
please note that the experiment is being EXTENDED until January 20, 1993.
                                                        ******* *** ****
This will give all participants more time and also (hopefully) more data to

since the experiment will run through winter vacation -- after final exams.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
-----------------
As you report your dreams to me, please be sure to be as concise as possible
in your descriptions.  State events leading up to lucidity.  Be as
descriptive as you can in your descriptions.  Pay particular attention to
objects that are left by the pool.  Try to describe the ship itself (size,
construction, color) as well as its passengers and surroundings (an ocean, 
river, etc...).  As always, do NOT discuss any dream details with other 
participants.  The validity of this experiment is based heavily on the
honesty of its participants!

Thanks to everyone who is participating!  I'm looking forward to reading
more dream reports!

I was just wondering if anyone has ever played Tetris or any other video game
and dreamed about it sometime later.  I recall playing Tetris a few times for
an hour or so and lateer that day I put my head down and saw the pieces 
falling and coudln't relax cause the pieces kept coming down. But for some
reason all the pieces always seemed to fit! Any else experience anythin
similar and, if so, is there a name for this occurrence??? Thanx.

a small child when you were walking with one of these adults- i.e. them
holding your hand to cross the street?

I was once involved in a Psychology experiment about Image Streaming. This
involved giving oneself or someone else a verbal cue/question. We would
then verbalize/write down in real time what image stream came forth. The
transcription would then be analyzed for relevant content. Lot's of useful
material came out of these sessions. Now what my question is, is this a 
form of dreaming?

Particularly annoying after a long march that really exhausted you...
you always feel like marching on... I think this is caused simply by
the fact that your mind takes the same imagery into sleep that it had
experienced for hours.

I had a disturbing dream about a month ago.  I dreamed that I switched 
bodies with my fiance but we still had our own minds.  So now, basically I 
had a penis and he had a vagina and we had sex.  Lately, I have had some 
mental blocks and haven't been able to come as often as I would like to but 
it in this dream I had an orgasm, and I swear I could feel it while dreaming.

I mentioned the part about switching bodies to a friend (I didn't mention 
the sex part) and he said that maybe this meant that I wanted my fiance to 
treat me the way that I treat him.  Interesting interpretation, I thought.

Any more thoughts?

I don't know if there's a technical name for it, but a bunch of us
here at Md used to call it "Tetris-itis" or something like that...
It kinda works for any repetitive (addictive) video game...  If you
play it alot, especially letting yourself "tune out" while you play,
you'll start seeing it whenever you close your eyes...  Apparently,
my friends say that the effect is heightened (read, worse) when you're
drunk.  :)   It usually works whether you're awake or asleep (maybe
it wouldn't if you slept with your eyes open??) :)  If you play an
"interactive" video game for long enough, alot of people find the
game plots (or really similar ones) in their dreams...

The cure?  Don't play it so much.  :)  Actually, I suspect that a
few minutes of rigorous exercise might clear your brain of the effect...

Anyway, you're not alone; alot of us get it.  For some people, it takes
more hours of playing before it sets in, and I suspect it takes
more or less effort for it to stop for each person...

i myself had never had a tetris dream even though i was hooked :) but i did
know a couple of people in my hall who did have tetris dreams, the funniest
being the one in which the dreamer himself became a tetris block, spinning
and falling...

however, i did have a dream which resulted in doing too much of a certain
thing (actually, i have lots of dreams but i'm pretty much just zeroing in
on this one for this post...). one day, i was working on a project for
hours on end, sitting in front of a SUN running X. well, that night, i dreamt
in windows with my "main dream" going on in one window while other things
were going on in other windows. it was pretty funny but i couldn't really
concentrate on my dream because of the other things that were happening in
the other windows... (the dream in the window was in color in case anybody
cares)

since i'm on the topic of computer related dreams 8'), let me tell y'all about
another amusing one i had. in the dream, i was lying on my back, looking at
some stars. a "dream girl" shows up and then lays (is lay the right word to use?
i never seem to get that right...) down next to me. "what beautiful stars!" she
says to me to which i reply "nah, it's only a screen blanker" and then i reach
out and push the space bar and the stars disappeared. :)

sheesh. i should get out more often.

I had a dream the other nite and I really would like to know what you
think.  Here goes:

My grandmother died last year and my grandfather is in a nursing home.
Uncle Fred takes care of their house and some guy is living there and
kinda keeping the place up for the family.  Nice guy.  It's an old farm
house that needs new paint.  Anyway for the dream.  I went down to
granny's house to see what the guy had done to the inside.  There was a
picture of me as a little girl standing in granny's flower bed in front
of the house hanging on the living room wall.  (I have had the picture
for two years now hanging in my house).  Any way I looked at the picture
and couldn't figure out how it got there (knowing it was at my house)
and my eyes in the picture turned a bluish white kinda like in a ghost
movie or something and looked upward.  It frightened me but it was as
though I was suppose to follow the eyes.  I looked up in the sky out the
window and the clouds had made a picture.  It was God holding granny and
granddaddy in his arms like a newborn baby.  I cried for a while and
then went home to tell my husband and parents.  They didn't believe me
and I told them to come watch the picture and they did.  Nothing
happened.  But even now 2 days after the dream I can see in my mind God
holding them and it is and was as plain as the nose on my face.  What
does this mean?  Help!!  I really would like to know.

Ever since I was about 5 I can remember having dreams in which I was with
an adult from my family such as my mother father or grandfather although
usually my grandfather.  There would always be a hand that would come
out of the sky and clamp on to my wrist.  The hand had no body just about
2 inches of wrist.  Whenever this would happen I would feel warm and a
tingling sensation.  I always knew that if someone would touch me that the
hand would fall off and I would be alright.  However, I also knew that
If I would make the first move and touch someone (like my grandfather) then
I would die.  In every dream for some reason I would always touch someone
else wether or not I really wanted to (it wasn't that I couldn't control
myself I just did it).  Then the warm feeling would increase greatly and
my vision would turn to yellow and orange then I would wake up.
	This same dream occured over several years.

Yep.  Although in my case it was a bit different.  In high school, I
stumbled across a book on Lucid Dreams that made my head spin.  I
started a dream journal and had dreams every night, more or less.
Then, when university came along, I got distracted, and stopped.
(Maybe bored would be a better word...)  
 
Then, when i started reading alt.dreams, I started up my journal
again, started reading psychology articles on dreams, etc, and now I'm
back to the old routine: a dream almost every night.
  
When I don't dream, it's usually because I got 7 or less hours sleep.
Or I had too much to drink the night before.  All you have to do to
dream, more or less, is have the desire to dream.  Do you have the
desire?  If you do and you're not dreaming, perhaps try the reality
testing trick all day ("Is this a dream?" check, maybe 5 times a day
WHILE AWAKE) and constantly remind yourself: ("Oh yeah, I wanted to
dream!").
 
Then again, you might be a completely stable, happy person and have no
REASON to dream.  Go find some psychological conflict in yourself, and
it'll give your sleeping mind something to chew on.  (GRIN)

Yeh I've heard this as well (the explanation not the voice :).  The brain
will usually make up actions for things as well if the outside stimulus is
physical, not just auditory.

I had a dream a few months ago where, near the end of the dream (it was
fairly long so I'll skip to the good bit), I ended up playing with my
sisters dog who is usually very sedate.  I was running around the side of
my house when suddenly "Bear" clamped her mouth over my face and began to
shake my head from side to side.  I woke up shaking my head and my nose
bleeding quite profusely.  I was shaking and cold and there was blood on my
sheet and pillow case.  I redognized that I was probably suffering a very
mild case of shock.

My brain was trying to find a way of waking me up to make sure that I could
do something about the nose bleed.  "Bear" presented that avenue out.  At
least that's what I think.

But perhaps (well, very likely) you have seen the movie or read the
book which provided the plot for this? I think there must be several
works of cinema or literature going just like this...

Perhaps you even forgot that you read or watched the story long ago.
