can explore from there.

anonymously or not , as you wish. Many use pen names.

DREAMGATE DREAM CLASSES ONLINE - These are fee ($10.00) classes and really great!

You get not only knowledge of dreaming on the net, but offline also. We practice a variety of

know techniques and explore the history of dreams, as well as the science and anthropology of

dreams. Best of all, you can use your own dreams to explore the varieties of dreamland all via

email. Classes usually run $100.00 and run about 3 months, but since I'm still working on the web site, the cost is only 10 bucks.!
