Hi all! It's me Seth, the lost wanderer. I've been through so much since I was last here. I don't want to tire you with excuses for my absence. I have no excuse, although I do have the same desires to connect with my dream family that waking reality seemed to want to drive away. NO MORE!

If any of you are still interested in our family of dreamers, the time has never been better for us to reconnect. The waking world is in shambles. Our personal endeavors in dreamtime awaken us to what we should do individually. But what can we accomplish as a group?

I'm beginning a link endeavor I'm calling A LINK A DAY. I need seven more individuals who will get on board with me. Of course, I only need one to begin, but am hoping to eventually have the group of eight to embark on this journey. A LINK A DAY isn't etched in stone, and may transform as more dreamers bring their insight into this. If you are interested please leave a message here or at the fishbowl, in the dreamlink forum, mplda thread.

I've missed you all in ways words will never touch!

Cheers! Seth

Well I've been sick for the last few weeks really. Now I need to go in for oral surgery. I can't say its going to be fun, but at least I won't have massive head aches, elevated temperature, and dizziness anymore. Have to get out my wizdom teeth. Its going to be very expensive. And its complicated, because one is infected or something like that. So its not going to be fun. Its going to cost a lot too. Like all the money I've worked for will go to the dentist. I'm going to be very poor. We don't even have money for food this week.

I'm going in on Tuesday. So I'll probably try to sleep all day with pain medication. Sorry the last experiment sucked so much, but on the night of the blue moon is when I really went down hill.

Am I suppose to find our path again this month? Hopefully not this week. LOL

A very sad Dragonfly indeed. I can use pleanty of healing engery from everyone.

Dreama read the original incantation that I had suggested for our current project, and it reminded her of this picture of a "Dream Temple" that she had seen. She was inspired to put the two together with the bindrunes we had created in our 1st project, "Linking With Symbols." The end product is really beautiful. The final version of the incantation we chose is different, but I think Dreama's work still captures the spirit of what we are trying to do.

Although Project #3, which deals with using incantation to establish a group dream-link, does not start for another week, I was inspired to do some art work after our group chat earlier today. The following depicts Lelie, Seth, Dragonfly, and me encircling the "blue" Moon. We decided that we would envision ourselves joining hands with the moon in the center when we recite the incantation in the Dream/etheric state. Dragonfly's Bindrune has the energy of fire because we did a ritual where we lit a blue candle with her symbol carved into it. This ritual was done to illuminate the way and give guidance to the Pathfinder, and to the rest of us.
This art was done in colored pencil with Photoshop effects added.

Hey everyone,

Everything is going well with my job. I'm very happy and I've had a couple of deja vu moments at work. I heard that means you're on the right path. It was nothing spectacular, but it was a pretty good feeling.

On my first week we read a children's story. It was about a crab that molts out of its shell and becomes soft. When it does the other crabs warn it about the dangers of the world above the rocks they live under and the crazy ideas crabs get when they do like going out into the world around it. The other crabs tells it that in order to survive a crab needs a hard shell and a hard heart. Of course the little crab runs out to see the outside world, which no one ever came back from before.

He sees many beautiful things on the rocks above it, a whole world around him filled with vibrant colors, he even finds a large crab. He asks the crab how he got so big and the big crab tells him that in order to become bigger he needs to have a big heart, not a hard heart, and he needs to stop hidding under the rocks, because crabs only grow as big as their homes. He goes back to tell everyone, but everyone thinks he just imagined it. When his shell starts to harden he begins to think it was all just a dream as well, but then time passes and he pops out of his shell again and he goes to see the world above him once more with his crab friends.

Even though this was only a children's story. It reminded me so much about us and our goals at the MPLDA that I thought I'd share it with you all.

Talk to you all later,

Hey all,

Seth made a post at his site about an experience he used to have in his childhood. It reminded me of this picture that I have always liked. It is called, Revenge Of The Goldfish. The artist's name is Sandy Skoglund. The art form is installation/photography.

Obviously Blogdrive has been going through a lot of changes! In a very short amount of time. They must be picking up like ezboard did long ago. I just hope it doesn't become crappy for non-paying members like ezboard did! That would be horrible.

Anyway I gave everyone all the ablities they could possibly have on this site! So everyone should be able to put up pictures, ban people, etc.

Hello my friends! My first entry here at the lounge and I have some very interesting news for you all.

A few weeks back I told a friend/co-worker about our endeavors. Her name is Josie (Jo) and she's been having just a whale of a time reading our dreams and becoming inspired with ideas for what she is going to school for. She has asked me if it's okay to create art based on my dreams and I told her of course she can. Those two at my blog were from that one really wild dream I had.

Anyhow, she wrote me an email today and one a few days back I believe you all need to see. If you all want I can delete the messages once you have all read it and responded.

I hope I am not imposing on you. While studying different games I came across one that I know would really enlighten the dream links, lucidity or any link connected to it. This could just be the beginning of something better than games. The dream aspect of it with real dreams (real stories) only make it more interesting. I keep reading different dreams, which seem to have continued, as well as art. Those players are key elements. For instance please see the attached about the game Never winter Nights. Using todays 3d graphic designer, source code, etc. The only difference would be the stories, journals entered to be created visually, even using the writers art. Also i had come across your Hologram Earth, The Truman show. Maybe some dreams visually explored can be comforting.

6/30

I wanted to get perspective on each member's dream journal. if any of the dreams could of future realities:

The dark storm, evil entieties, and the portal vortex

I decided I wanted to go out of body, but I wondered how to do it. I then think of a dimension of hands, and I called on two helping hands to help me out, but then I got a bad feeling as they started to pull at me and lift me out of bed. I could hear children's laughter, but I did not want to be played with.

Dimensions 3d realtime graphic environments designed according to any dream journal. This would become a room or entrance for any dream that was similiar to the original journal/author site. The data, or keywords, would be portals, either way. Each of you seem to have worlds already built, Sethtopia, Larther's Journey, etc. like different worlds. Yours being transforming, futuristic, space, adventerous, game elements. Always entering new worlds. Dragonfly precieves ahead in some one else's, doesn't like to be intruded upon. I don't even know the genre of Dragonfly. Plus i had only read a couple entries of her journal, and I see that she has seen you and the others. You really saved her or might be saving her again letting her know there is nothing to be afraid of. Dragonfly is quick to strike. Dragonfly's world be the place for every one to meet, her images are strong. I can feel outside energies. HELL IF I SOUND CRAZY PLEASE LET ME KNOW. OR IF I AM OFF KEY LET ME KNOW. Dancingdragon a young spirit, skipping through her gifted (I Believe she meant to cut and paste some more here but missed it)

I then looked at the "helping hands" and did not see something pleasant at all. There were two beings floating in my room. One at the foot of my bed and another over my computer. I walked towards them or floated, but when I tried to look at them I found it a hard time to turn my head.

They talked to me telepathically. I heard them say that I created them (or summoned them) and that they were there to help me, but I had the feeling that they weren’t trying to help me at all. They were in kaki colored hoods, less then two feet long, and trying to cruel (Seth edit: I was going to change cruel into curl but I get the feeling this isn't just a typo) up into a ball, but they looked like claws instead.

I did not like the fact that these beings were taking credit for my abilities. Or that they were in my room and so close to me. I tried to uncover their hoods but they resisted and sent me a lot of negative energy or emotions.

At that point I decided to grab them and take them to the front door. They started to hiss and scream. I opened the door some how and a portal opened up. It was a pinkish-white portal with stairs that lead downwards, which I don’t have in real life."

Then i read this dream "Larther guards the machine and Seth's totem comes to the rescue!"

Larther seems to be all for a more graphical interchangeable and realtime.

A LUCID DREAM
THE BLUE KOMODO DRAGON
KOMODO MAN

That dream was you, half man, half beast or whatever you choose to be. Forever changing in your dreams, compare to the other dreams yours are real-world experience. Just by the way they are written with emotions, and thinking of as out-of-body travel, fly or go through walls. Your dreams i feel would be better in text form. Graphics would be nothing compared to the way they're written. the words are visual... The journals are excellent for game prospects.

You have no idea how much this helps me to get my project out, it think i will copy this. it would be a good introductory in a proposal to the developers.

Again i have to keep you informed, because of the material and those other members will have to know too. But like it said still early in the research phase.

What I've come to realize is that the dream lucidity aspect must be real, after my research and reading just a few of the other's journals, I can not help but noticing some of the familiar images that are shared. I feel like i had even seen my image in one of the dreams, water or something...Any way gotta go

Jo

I thought since Jo is coming up with ideas for her future projects based on our dreams it would be prudent to inform you all of that fact. If you would like to communicate with Jo, let me know and I'll YIM you her email. Here is a pic she sent me that reminds me of a dream journal for some reason. I'm also adding another of her pics to my blog today as well.

I hope everyone noticed its now even easier to upload pictures. You can upload them straight from you computer I believe. Let's see if it works here!

I hope everyone can see seth's totem! ^^ Well they sure have made a lot of changes to the Blog drive since I last posted. Which wasn't too long ago! LOL

This is the end result of my experience with the first link project "Symbols"
