2. World Dreams Peace Bridge Week-o-Dreamin : December 21 & 28, 2003



Dear Dreamers,

This is an invitation to join members of The World Dreams Peace Bridge in a
week of dreaming between December 21 and December 28, 2003. There are many
reasons for our desire to do this DaFuMu, and if you'd like to read farther,
you can see some of the discussion we've had about the subject on the Peace
Bridge.

Like Kathy says, the name for this season could be
"Christmas/Hanukkah/Beginning of the Forbidden (Sacred) Months/Winter
Solstice." She adds:Of course we could write these festivals in ANY ORDER!

Several members of the Peace Bridge, from around the world, gave reasons why
they feel that this time is particularly important to humanity. Here are a
few of them:

After hearing that Bhuddist monks had been working to keep the war and
conflict at an energetic level rather than a physical one, Ralf replied: I
feel too, this is an important time to dream for peace. I feel it is a kind
of turning point, as if international system is a little bit more unstable
now that Saddam seems to be caught. A good time for playing with chance, a
good time to dream the system into more peaceful directions, me thinks.

Anna added: yes- and not only 'even though' we are tired -sometimes I feel
as though the weariness is in response to that background 'screaming', of
which we are all aware but cannot always grapple with...to bring it into the
light of our awareness is actually Less stressful, to deal with it
directly -sometime s I wonder if the tiredness isn't at least in part from
the effort to maintain 'regular' life, while it goes on...

The spirit of the Solstice twines in so well with this, doesn't it? -of the
darkest day turning to the birth of the light...I have always appreciated
the sense that we each have to , and get to, partake in that- by each facing
up to our own inner shadows, we can work with them , move through them to
the dawn...we can turn our shoulder to the great turning of the wheel, and
right now it turns towards Light..

So we folks of the Bridge decided to dream world peace for a week, and to
join with other groups doing some similar things. You will find a list of
specific dates and events at the end of this post, but before you look, you
will probably want to see some of the suggestions that members of the Peace
Bridge have made.

Victoria asks: What is one peaceful image you like to include? For me it is
blue generally, and the idea of candles being alight around the world -
particularly during the times that seem darkest.

Nick wonders whether we can include general projects, that don't have a
specific date for dreaming, like, " Can I make a special request for a
dafumu for Chayim's Hands Across the Jordan project on a particular day of
that week. I think our help could make a big difference :) My answer to
this is that I would like to see a focus on the Hands Across the Jordan
project, the Aid for Children project, and the Peace Train on Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday of the week respectively. More about all of these
projects can be found at the World Dreams web site
www.worlddreamspeacebridge.org

And finally, Ilkin, who lives in Instanbul, which has recently been the
target of terrorists, sends this powerful poem:

It is sad at this part of the world my friend
rain is sad, wind is sad, snow is sad
air smells sad, birds sing sad
and the worse is; eyes are looking sad.
I walked the street of my young years today;
the street I first kissed a boy,
I lived the excitement of love,
hurt of heart breaks, joys of friendship.
I walked on the grass of the little park,
rocks of the street witnessed my life.
The street where my children took first steps,
run to the bakery, walked school, cried and laugh.
There was no colors around today.
I asked Ibrahim where did they go,
he said they lost in the red of blood.
There was no laugher, no sound
I asked the lottery man what happened,
he said they died in the thunder of a bomb.

It is sad at this part of the world my friend
my beautiful people who loves to sing,
to joke loudly, hug with their hearts ,
like had a dream they can't share,
had a dream they can't believe,
they can't wake up.
The wind was blowing with a heavy smell,
a smell I couldn't define
the rain was carrying a strange mud,
a greyish mud I couldn't define.
I asked the smell to gipsy girl,
she said it is not from her flowers
I asked the mud to to the bakery boy
he said it is not from their coals.
a little hand pulled my arm,
said, "buy me a bread and I will tell"
my hand stopped in the air,
it was all in the little, huge, hungry eyes
"it is the smell, the dust of the burning flesh",
"nobody wants to speak"
"but I see them all!..."

It is sad at this part of the world my friend,
it is sad!...

Now here is a list of peaceful activities scheduled during the week of
December 21-28. You are welcome to join any or all of them, and most
particularly you are invited to join in dreaming the world toward Peace.

This is a particularly important season for us all to say: "Let there be
Peace on Earth, and let it begin with me."

Blessings to all,

"60 Seconds for Peace"

What is "60 Seconds for Peace"?

The idea is simple: "We the People" of the world are establishing a
60-second pause for peace in as many communities as possible across the
globe... all on the same day, all at the same time.

Sixty seconds of silence to Think, Reflect, Pray or Meditate on Peace.

Our Vision

Our vision is simple: At precisely the same moment on 27/28 December 2003,
at least one billion people will stop to think about peace. Every place of
business or commerce will pause for 60 seconds. Every radio and television
station will pause for 60 seconds. Every person in motion will pause for 60
seconds. And think about peace.

We trust that the simplicity of this event will allow organizations and
communities around the world to create their own way of honoring the idea of
peace for 60 seconds.

For more information, visit:

Register your participation as an individual or on behalf of your
organization.

3. BRING A DREAM FOR THE HOLIDAY TREE
(Reviving a BADG tradition...on the Internet!)

For over a decade, the Bay Area Dreamworker's Group (BADG) had a December
tradition: bring a dream to hang on the Christmas tree at the annual holiday
party. The custom has waned over the past few years, but I'd like to bring
it back. You are invited to join the tradition. But this year the "tree" is
on the Internet.

Christmas tree dreams are special. Unlike dreams we may present to
ourselves, these dreams are gifts to other people and thus they have the
unique attributes of sociability. For instance, because a dream is often
handwritten, I've encouraged folks to remember that somebody else has to
read it! As a result, handwriting vastly improves. We've even had gifts of
calligraphy. Of course, you don't have to worry about penmanship on-line.
But you might want to review your dreams and break them down into easy
pieces to read instead of one large chunk.

A delightful thing happens when we shift focus from ourselves to other folks
in this manner. Our dreaming selves seem to follow our example, in their own
individual ways. The dreams we incubate or expect to appear (like a child
waiting for Santa Claus) tend to become...more. More colorful, coherent,
amazing, intriguing or story-like. Some of my favorite dreams of the year
occur around Christmas time.

Would you like to pin a dream to the holiday string? Simple suggest to your
dreaming self that she put on her holiday best and come to the party. Then,
when she responds, bring your dream gift to the ASD bulletin board to share.

Here's the instructions.


1. Surf to http://www.asdreams.org/UltraBoardzzz/UltraBoard.cgi

2. Click on "Association for the Study of Dreams Discussion Board."

3. Click on "Bring a Story Dream to the Holiday Tree."

4. Read as you please.

5. To add your contribution, scroll down to the last entry. In that box you
will see 4 options, 2 within and 2 below the message. Select the "REPLY"
option below it. (CAUTION: Do not hit the "Post" option...this will start a
whole new string and you don't want to do that!)

6. Enter the all the starred* information. Under "Nickname" you might write
your full name, first name, or your Internet handle. "Symbol" is optional.
Do not change the "Subject" line. (Hint: I compose my memo in Microsoft
Word beforehand, then simply copy it to the "Message" box.)

7. If you want to review your message before you post it (and make sure it's
all right), select "Preview your post and/or attach a file?" under the memo
and the box will become an "X." Then select "Post."

8. Read your message. To CORRECT any errors, return to the previous screen
by using your WWW page return button or arrow. To go ahead and post, select
"Post."

A reminder: ASD doesn't allow dream interpretation on its board, but you
won't have to worry about that for this project. The project will be active
for the entire month of December. I've already put up a sample dream and
there will be more to view shortly. Enjoy!

Happy holiday dreams,
Linda Lane Magallón
