I had waited till my senior year of college to finish one of my general education courses. Since I did not want to stick around to finish the course, I decided to take the class online. I bought on of the hughesnet packages and I took Intro to Philosophy online over the summer. I was somewhat apprehensive about taking an online course, especially over the summer. I used my satellite internet to get acquainted with the basics of the course, which made me feel a lot better about the course. I specifically liked the fact that the instructor was very good at keeping the lines of communication open. He easily answered every question I had about the course and the requirements.

I was initially worried about the fact that there were no specific deadlines with this class. Instead, there were two major requirements that had to be turned in over the course of the summer. I was worried about waiting till the last minute to get everything turned in, because that is usually how I work. Instead, I gave myself a specific date to have the first assignment completed. Having hughesnet made the entire experience much easier since I was able to ask questions and get quick answers from my professor. I was also able to keep all of the documents I had submitted through the course website.

Robert Moss, the dream researcher, teacher and author that I keep talking about, has a radio show on dreams! You can listen over the Internet on the second Tuesday of each month, from 11 am to noon Central Time.

Here is the link: http://www.healthylife.net/RadioShow/archiveWD.htm

There is even an 800 number so that you can call in with questions during the show as he interviews other dreamworkers and dream researchers. 

What a blessing for all of us!

Recently I got an email message about a special “Dreaming” issue of a wonderful art zine called Astarte’s Mega-Zine. You may not have heard of it. It’s fairly new and probably not on the newsstands. But the writers include well-known artists and authors such as Lucia Cappaccione.

In looking at past issues I have recognized most of them from their bylines in national magazines. I’ve even taken workshops from some of them.

I’m very excited that this innovative visual and written arts publication is devoting a whole issue to dreaming. If you go to the website and see what the issue includes, I think you will be, too.

Just as studying symbol systems helps your subconscious mind communicate with you, viewing and reading vivid imagery—visual and written—can also enrich your dreams.

Following is the entire message, links and all. I didn’t want to wait till I got my copy of the magazine to tell you about it.

We all need dreaming in our lives.

When I set the theme for issue 5 of Astarte’s Mega-Zine as
“Dreaming“, I never expected the enthusiastic response I got
from the Go-Make-Art Panel of Experts and other contributors.
Wow. Have we ever got some inspiring reading and projects
for you!

I hope you will take a look at the Astarte’s Mega-Zine website, order the “Dreaming” issue (or subscribe), and share your experiences after reading it and absorbing the imagery.

When the email arrived, announcing this “Dreaming” ezine, I considered it a blessing. I hope you do, too.

Let us know how (or if) it affects your dreams.
