Hello Dream Fun Experiment Number Three Participant,
Thanks again for participating.
The key for the experiment was a Treble Clef!
Instead of giving you the definition of a treble clef here, I’m including a couple of links for you to see a picture of it and read a definition on the internet.
The first URL is the image that Marilyn used. You will notice the turquoise background. That may be significant.

The second URL is just another page for a definition of the treble clef:

Instructions for Experiment Number Three follow. Please go to my Intention Experiment page to submit your impressions as a comment to me. I will leave a comment on your IE page to reveal the key several days after the experiment. After the key is revealed, if desired, please feel free to comment on my page about any “hits” that you find when reviewing all the submissions. I will include your analysis in the report for Dream Fun Experiment Number Three. Please use the “View All Comments” link to go back in my comment history to view all the submissions.
Away we go! Here are the instructions:
Instructions for Dream Experiment Number Three
Marilyn Nelson is the keyholder. These are her instructions:
Fellow dreamers -- once again it is time to play!
You may wish to set the stage for Experiment Number Three by meditating for a short while, playing soft music, lighting candles, anything that helps you relax and deepen into a place of receptivity before reviewing these instructions. It might also be helpful to put them into the first person and repeat them as an affirmation. I am including this format in parentheses after each step, but do this in any way that feels comfortable to you.
I am the key holder (Marilyn is the key holder)
I see before me the object that you will recognize. (I will recognize the object that she is holding)
During the next 24 hours, you will have a dream that you will remember. (During the next 24 hours, I will have a dream that I will remember)
You will dream of a gathering and become aware of the object. (I will dream of a gathering and become aware of the object)
When you awake, you will immediately write down your dream(s), including every detail no matter how insignificant or unimportant they might seem. If you have a precognition, an intuition, a daydream, or if you simply see or hear something that feels related to the key, include these impressions. (When I awake, I will immediately write down my dream(s) in every detail, no matter how insignificant they might seem. If I have a precognition, an intuition, a daydream, or if I simply see or hear something that feels related to the key, I will include these impressions.)
Play with these instructions to make them your own. Just keep in mind the main points: gathering with others, seeing the object, remembering the dream, recording it and your other intuitions/impressions. Now get ready for another adventure!
Hello Dream Fun Experiment Number Three Participant,
Just a short note to let you know to look for an instruction comment from me on your Intention Experiment page this coming Tuesday, November 6, 2007. I’ll send it between 8 AM and 8 PM Central Daylight Savings Time.
Marilyn Nelson is the keyholder for this round. You may want to visit her Intention Experiment page and leave a comment to say hi! If desired, please click the “Members” tab on the Intention Experiment website. When there, enter “Marilyn Nelson” in the box and click “Search Members”. Find “Marilyn Nelson” in the results of your search and click her name or photo to get to her page.

Thanks very much for participating. A little bird just told me that this is gonna be a good one!
Hello Dream Fun Experiment Number Two Participant.
I posted the report for Experiment Two on October 14, 2007, as a comment on my page. It is posted as three separate comments. My photo/icon will be next to the report. Please use the “View All Comments” link to go back in my comment history if you don’t see it.

Hello Dream Fun Participant,
The key for Experiment Number Two was…
A fern leaf!
If desired, please go to my page and leave any insights you may have about the whole thing. I’ll take notes and in a week or so issue a report with your condensed comments.
Peace and LOVE,
Bill
Today is the day, Dream Experiment Number TWO Participant!
Thank you all again for participating.
We are 113 strong for Dream Fun Experiment Number Two.
As far as dream recall goes, I am going to accept any responses that you may have, regardless if you remember a dream or not. We’ll hit this with every gun in our arsenal.
I am keeping open the possibility of the participants perceiving the key before the experiment time frame, whether it’s during a dream or having an intuition as to what the key is before the experiment begins.
Also, I believe it is possible to “do the work” in the dream state, not remember any dream, and then later have an intuition as to what the key is.
Or you may remember your dream from the experiment later.
There may also be a possibility that you dream of the key on a night after the experiment night, but before the results are released to you all.
The comments on my page can be viewed by anyone. If a participant would prefer that not to be the case for them, they may email to my personal email address: bschuh@localnet.com
The public aspect of the responses means that you may know what the results of the experiment are more or less at the same time I do. This would not take into account those who sent their responses to me in private. I don’t see this as a problem, particularly. It may benefit the goal of the experiment to have more eyes looking for “hits”. For this experiment, you can either post a response as a comment on my page, or send me a private email. You will be able to view other comment responses on my page if you like. Please use the “View All Comments” link to view the comment history.
I would like to talk a little bit about what constitutes a “hit”. Dreamers dream in symbols. In your dream you may dream explicitly of the object or dream of a symbol for the object. Those who scan for “hits” will therefore have a lot of leeway in their interpretation. If you have an intuition that your dream somehow has to do with this experiment, send it to me.
The phrasing of the instructions is deliberately affirmative and concise. There is no equivocation. Please don’t be put off if they appear blunt. I’m doing this on purpose because I believe doing so will help in achieving our aims.
I would like to bring up the aspect of play here. Remember when you were 5 years old and you pretended? When you read the instructions I would like you to pretend that they hold great weight and value. Pretend that they come from an authority that you gladly listen to. Pretend that it’s important to pay attention to the instructions that follow here in capital letters. I know this sounds funny, but I believe the more energetic focus and enthusiasm that you bring to bear the more likely we are to have successful results.
This goes for reading the instructions and for the suggestion that you give yourself as you are falling asleep for the experiment. Bring up emotion for yourself and use your imagination in an excited way.
Of course you are free to use your own techniques, but I would like you to include this intention:
I WANT TO DREAM ABOUT A GATHERING WHERE I BECOME AWARE OF THE OBJECT.
Expect to have this dream. Imagine what it will be like when you awake and remember a dream about a gathering!
It may help to specifically think of Carole, the key holder for this round.
The role of key holder is Carole’s this round, but will rotate among those participants who choose to accept it. For the time being I would like the key holder to be able to construct their instructions any way they like. Carole is not using a specific dream location in her instructions. Future key holders are welcome to if they think it will be effective.
Away we go! Here are the instructions:
Time of the Dream Experiment: Full Moon – Evening of September 26, 2007 – Your time zone may vary…
BEFORE YOU FALL ASLEEP, SAY THIS TO YOURSELF:
“I WANT TO DREAM ABOUT A GATHERING WHERE I BECOME AWARE OF THE OBJECT.
CAROLE IS THE KEY HOLDER.
CAROLE HAS THE OBJECT THAT I WILL RECOGNIZE.”
SHE INVITES YOU TO SHARE IN THE DREAM EXPERIMENT AND BECOME PART OF THE DREAM.
DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS YOU WILL HAVE A DREAM THAT YOU WILL REMEMBER.
YOU WILL DREAM OF A GATHERING.
YOU WILL BECOME AWARE OF THE OBJECT.
WHEN YOU AWAKE YOU WILL WRITE DOWN THE DREAM IN ALL ITS DETAIL.
Hello Dream Experiment Number Two Participant,
Just a short note to let you know to look for an instruction email/comment from me this coming Wednesday, September 26, 2007. I’ll send it between 8 AM and 8 PM Central Daylight Savings Time.
In Experiment Number One there were just two snags that I could identify. They both involved navigation on the website:
1. This is something I have done myself: Some participants meant to leave a comment for me but inadvertently entered their comment on their own page. To leave a comment for me, please click my photo/icon; that will take you to my page. Please enter your comment/dream for me there.
2. When I told you all to view the report that I posted I goofed by not telling you to click the “View All Comments” link at the bottom of the comments on my page if you don’t see what you are looking for. After you click “View All Comments” you may have to go back in history until you come across my photo/icon where I have left a comment on my own page. That is the report.
There is a new keyholder for this experiment. We had four candidates who indicated an interest in being the keyholder. This is how I decided on the new keyholder:
I told them I was thinking of a number between 1 and 100. The candidate who submitted a number closest to the number I was thinking would be the next keyholder. The funny thing was, two of the candidates submitted a number that did not match my number but MATCHED EACH OTHER! I’ll tell you another funny thing: one of the candidates submitted a number that was the number I was thinking RIGHT ON THE NOSE! How do you like that?! Her name is Carole Cross. It may help to familiarize yourself with her. If you like, on the Intention Experiment website, click the “Members” tab; and then enter “Cross” in the box next to the “Search Members” button; and then click the “Search Members” button. You will see “Carole” in the search results. If desired, click on her photo and say hi!
Here is the link that Heather C is offering for help to those who might want to learn how to better remember their dreams. It has some great tips:
http://www.lucidity.com/NL11.DreamRecall.html
I have compiled a list of participant observations that were submitted after the key for Dream Fun Experiment Number One was revealed. If you are interested, please go to my page. I posted it as a comment to me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Margriet for her gracious help in compiling your expressions that came in after the key was revealed. (Thanks Margriet!)
To answer your post from Sept. 10th regarding choices and actions: I'd have to say that as uncomfortable with the idea of "faith" as I sometimes may be, I'd have to agree that doing something is typically better than nothing. Even if another's suffering may serve them in some positive way, there are always enough of such hard lessons in this life. I think that, perhaps, answering the call to alleviate the suffering of others provides the highest good because it directs all of those involved toward the recognition of our interdependence and our unity with all-that-is.
