Synopsis
This book on CD provides a quick access to dreamwork, a historical context and an abundance of resources and connections to leading edge dream sharing in Cyberspace.

From the Author
I first went online in the early 1990's to research information about dreams, but what I found instead was something far more valuable: dreamers themselves. Many of these folks had never shared dreams before, had never attended a seminar or workshop and never been in any kind of dream oriented therapy. They wanted to talk about their dreams and they wanted to be able to do so on a more profound level than could occur at the office water-cooler. The virtual community Electric Dreams was formed to address this need. A variety of dream sharing techniques and groups were developed. But people wanted more, some kind of historical context and insight into the dreamwork techniques that have been used offline and by other cultures and societies. I began offering a series of courses that were intelligent, but short, easy to understand and immediately useful in working with dreams. This course has evolved over the years and is included in the CD, A Brief History of Dream Sharing. As our networking online expanded, so did the resource base, and I have included a searchable dream bibliography & resource database. To understand the development and possibilities of dream sharing on the Internet, I have also include a series of articles tracing this development and offering valuable connections to the online dream movement.

Reviews:

A reader from Marin County, California , June 13, 1999
Clearly the finest publication of its kind.
Mr. Wilkerson continues to provide exceptional service to the world dreaming community with this hallmark publication. I was particularly impressed with the bibliography of over 5,000 titles on dreams and dreaming. Not only it this CD a valuable source, it has direct links to other sources around the globe.
