2002 PsiberDreaming Conference

Please send your dream art to:

E-mail:
SaoSD@aol.com

FAX: 918-272-5070

Regular mail:

Of course, if at all possible please send in your dream art via e-mail, attached as a graphics file (.jpeg or .gif formats work best). However, we understand that not everyone has the software or skills to create these, so if you can Fax or snail mail your submissions to Richard in the next week or so, he will scan them in and convert them into a usable graphic file format and send them on to Dr. Reed.

If you wish to send dream text as well (like the text description of the dream that the art illustrates) please do so by e-mail only. You'll also have an opportunity to post text material on the PsiberDreaming Discussion Board, under the "Henry Reed/DreamDrawing Story Game" thread during the conference.

However, when you submit art for the "Henry Reed Workshop" please indicate this in some way - otherwise it might simply go up in the PsiberDreaming Art Gallery.

The first drawing portrays a dream where I enter a restaurant and see a man seated alone at a table. Our eyes make contact and a woman's voice whispers in my ear that I should sit down at the table with the man. I refuse. The story that was told about this drawing concerned an artist at work in his studio. I forget the rest of the story, actually, because even at the time, it was the mention of "artist" that hit me strongly. Like most people, no doubt, I would like to develop the "artist" within me, so I was startled to suppose that the person in my dream whom I had rejected might have something to do with the artist. The story teller explained that it was the "unkempt appearance" of the person in the drawing that had suggested the role of artist. That remark made me aware that in the dream it was the man's appearance that I had used as my excuse for not sitting with him. That moment of honesty led to further discoveries about how I cut off the flow of creativity by imposing arbitrary standards of social acceptability.
