You may have thought from the title that this was going to be a
long article, but in fact its a link portal to the different
venues and resources for dreaming online.
History of the Dream Movement Online
If you are new to online dreaming and would like to read about
the history and emergence of the dream movement online, please see
The History of Dream Sharing in Cyberspace.
I also recommend a few other sources for the history of
dreaming online. The first is the ASD Cybersphile,
a collection of essays published quarterly in the Dream Time
magazine since 1995 tracking the development of the online dream
movement. The second main resource are back-issues of Electric
Dreams. Since 1994, this online dream sharing community has
put out a monthly ezine tracking all the latest developments in
the Internet related to dreamwork and dream sharing.
Finally, be sure to read the research by John
Herbert, Ph.D. comparing offline and online dreamwork.
ASD Articles Online
ASD has two publications that often release article online, the
peer reviewed Dreaming
Journal of the Association for the Study of Dreams, and Dream
Time, a magazine of ASD.
Topics in Dreaming
There are several ways to find articles, groups, organizations
and information about dreaming online.
1. Using Search Engines to find information on Dreams and
Dreaming.
There are two types of search portals, keyword searches and
hierarchical searches. Some websites have search engines that
search for keywords just on a particular site rather than the
whole Internet. See for example the ASD
Search Engine. There a thousands of search engines
online. Here is a guide to the Major
Search Engines.
In general, use keywords that describe the area you are interested
in. For example, if you are looking for information about research
in lucid dreaming in Norway you can type into the search
form: lucid dreaming norway
Hint: Type all search entries in lower case so the engine will
find all cases. Upper case forces the engine to just look for
upper case.
2. Contact people who know. E-mail experts and stop by
the ASD
Bulletin Board. Join the Electric Dreams community and
send in questions to the monthly e-zine. Also, many sites have
active bulletin boards for topic discussion. See for example the Lucidity
Institute's Bulletin Board System.
3. Use the ASD
Links and Electric
Dreams Links for specific topic links and resources.
4. Join Newgroups and Discussion Lists on dreams and dreaming.
There are now dozens of groups, many can be found by searching at www.egroups.com.
The Electric Dreams backissues also track new groups. See
especially the following issues:
Electric
Dreams March 1999, volume #6 issue #3
Electric Dreams April 2000, volume #7 issue #4
