- Hi everyone...
-
- Well, we seem to have enough people to get a good experiment going...
- Time to make some decisions.
- If anyone has any other ideas, please post to alt.dreams, and we will
- revise this proposal. Some indication of approval would also be
- appreciated...
-
- Here is the proposal:
-
- Attempt to have a lucid dream any time (as often as possible)
- between the dates of Friday, Dec. 4 and Sunday, Dec. 20. When
- you find yourself lucid dreaming, use any means possible to find
- the scenario described below. Attempt to interact with others there,
- and look for "personal objects" that others may have left. Try to
- leave a personal object of your own for others to find.
-
- You are free to report to the Net that you made it to the Meeting
- Place in your dreams, but please do not post any details about the
- dream until the experiment is over. Send email to our Third Person
- (who prefers to be called a "judge" -- I don't know why, ask him) :)
- containing all the details you can remember from the dream, especially
- any personal objects you found/left. He will save & post the messages
- after the experiment, and if he sees possible correlations, he may
- write back, asking specific questions about what you saw/left/did...
- (For example, if you left your wallet, he might ask for a description
- of the wallet & it's contents. Another person who said they found
- a wallet would also be asked to give a description of the wallet & its
- contents...)
-
- Our Third Person/Judge/(whatever you want to call him) is
- Allen Chen
- aec1@cornell.edu
-
- The description of the dreamscape is as follows:
- *************************************************************************
-
- vehicle: a broad river passing through all sleeping minds, in some places white
- water flowing past huge slabs of rock and scattered boulders covered
- with green algae and mosses, in other stretches, slow and wide,
- -- even swampy at the edges with the water and land blending
- gradually. Thick wooded landscape.
-
- destination: A large mountain lake. Clean and cold. Pines on the banks reflect
- around the edges and the pale dusky sky across the middle.
- The meeting place is at the far end of the lake, opposite the
- mouth of the river. A campsite is there. Within a ring of
- rocks a crackling fire consumes a pile of thick logs.
- Away from the lake, beyond the campfire is a dead tree trunk,
- weathered to a smooth silver-gray. In the flickering light of
- the fire it is bright against the dark forest behind it.
- One stump of a limb projects out about four feet from the right
- side of the trunk, six feet above the ground. A foot and a half
- up the trunk from the limb, the trunk branches into to two parts
- and then ends abruptly. People can leave items at the foot of
- the dead tree or hang them on the branch.
- *****************************************************************************

- So, what does everyone think???
-
- Pleasant dreams!
