Become A Cyberdreamworker
All you need to become a Cyberdreamworker
is an interest in working on dreams.
Cyberdreamwork groups consist of five to six
Cyberdreamworkers who gather in real-time, on
Paltalk, a FREE internet communication system that
is analogous to telephones in our everyday world.
Here, in a virtual, private conference room, dreams
become the focus of an in-depth exploration into the
creative imagination.
In just a few steps, as a Cyberdreamworker, you will
be able to partcipate in the first of many
Cyberdreamwork experiences.
STEP I - Technical Requirements
To actively participate in a Cyberdeamwork group,
you will need to install Paltalk. This software program
specifically allows you to set up and enter
a private group conference room.
You will also need a microphone and speakers
(preferably a head set) which can be plugged into the
back of your computer (into your sound card). With
Paltalk you will be able to call and simultaneously
communicate with several Cyberdreamworkers,
friends and even relatives living in other parts of the
country or world.
STEP II - Join A Cyberdreamwork Group
The easiest way to get started with Cyberdreamwork
is to sample a session with an existing group. All you
have to do is enter your request on our registration
board, JOIN A GROUP. In addition
cyberdreamwork.com provides
Cyberdreamcoaches (individuals trained and
familiar with cyberdreamwork) to help you get
started. E-mail requests are also accepted. Contact us
at: webmaster@cyberdreamwork.com
STEP III - Preparing For A Cyberdreamwork Session
To prepare for a cyberdreamwork session, the
dreamers along with their designated group
coordinator (for e.g. the person who presents the
dream or the cyberdreamcoach) exchange e-mail in
order to agree on a time for the group to meet. Your
coach or coordinator finalizes the time and date of
your group and one member ( the designated
dreamer ) sends his or her dream as an e-mail
message to all members of the group. For greater
anonimity, the coach can e-mail the dream to others.
At the designated time you (the dreamworker) turn on
your computer, connect to your Internet Service
Provider (ISP- ex.; aol.com ) and start Paltalk.
Following the instructions sent to you by your
cyberdreamcoach or designated coordinator, you will
enter a virtual dreamwork group.
At that time all equipment will be checked and
technical problems addressed. Problems in locating
members can be resolved through regular telephone
calls, instant messages or e-mail.
Be prepared to spend approximately two hours
working in a dreamgroup. The first 30 minutes will be
spent checking equipment and getting acquainted. The
next hour will be spent working on a selected dream
and the last 30 minutes will be spent processing
the dreamwork.
THE GROUP BEGINS
1) After initial greetings and technical adjustments,
the work begins. The dreamer closes his or her eyes
and concentrates on the memory of the dream. With
focused attention, and using the present tense, the
dreamer carefully recreates the dream as an imagined
reality.
2) Dreamworkers listen with equal attention as the
dream world comes into being.
[In the near future, and under development at this
moment, members will be able to observe through an
electronic signal ( a biomonitoring device), the
emotional responses of a dreamer to the material he
or she presents.]
3) After the dream is presented, dreamworkers share
their physical and emotional responses to the dream.
4) At this point it is often helpful to hear the
dream a second time.
5) Then the dreamer is asked to share any
associations and/or identifying information
related to the dream. The dreamer is free to
respond in whatever way he or she feels comfortable.
This places the dream into the personal context
of the dreamer.
6) With the help of the coach who paces the session
and the dreamer, the group decides on how to work
on the dream. In most cases the work follows the
dream narrative. The guiding principle is to enter the
dream where there is least resistance, where the
dreamer seems most comfortable.
Now, the questions begin..... The object is to help
the dreamer make the dream world as vivid and
"real" as possible.
Questions help the dreamer embody and recreate the
dream as an imagined reality. This kind of dreamwork
allows for a strong emotional, body centered
experience that can be quite transformative.
The object of the work is to return to and explore the
reality of the dream world. This is not therapy. It is a
careful exploration of the creative imagination.
