Today is the day, Dream Fun Experiment Number 11 Participant!
Remember your dreams and take note of your intuitions during the next 24 hours.
Please click on my icon/photo here to go to my Intention Experiment page to enter your submission as a comment to me. I’ll reveal the key a few days or so after the experiment.
Kathleen (Kate) Helms is the Keyholder. She has in mind the key that she will intend to share with you all. Your job is to intend to have a dream where you are part of a group and notice Kate’s key object!
State your intention as you are drifting off to sleep and trust that your intention will be carried out.
I suggest giving yourself plenty of time for sleeping. That will improve dream recall.
Details can be important. Please include as much detail in your submission as you are comfortable with.
What do we know that we don’t know that we know?
We shall see soon.
What work of Art will be done by the Light of the Silvery Moon?
All right! Off we go in the name of Life and Love!
Here are Kate’s instructions:
Instructions for Number 11:
Because the beach seemed to be a nice meeting place in the last experiment -- and because so many of our dreams over the course of the experiments have taken us in part or whole to beaches and watersides, I'd like us to "meet" at the BEACH once more. My own intention will be to "meet" you each at the beach, and I will be sitting near the water's edge, just out of reach of the lapping waves. I will have the key on my person. It will be visible to you and not hidden away. The item will appeal to more than just your visual sense, so try to remember any feelings or impressions you have, beyond just "seeing" the object.
We each seem to have our own personal ways of sending ourselves into dreamland, what works for me may not work for you, but what I do is first spend a few minutes telling myself what I want to do in my dreams that night. I then write it down. The reason for writing it out is because it seems to lock it into my mind better. I then turn on the mp3 player at my bedside and fall asleep listening to a variety of meditation and affirmation tracks. (For this experiment, I intend to play ocean sounds and waterfalls all night to try to enhance the beach experience in my own mind!)
I have three dream journals. I keep one at my bedside, one in my bathroom and one under the pillow, each with a pen attached. When I awaken in the middle of the night and reach for something to write with, I never know how much I'll really wake up, so I try to have something handy no matter where I may go (or not go!) -- this has helped me to be able to write things down that I sometimes don't even remember having written the next morning when I see them! When I first awaken in the morning, I immediately reach for a journal to make notes on things that are still in my mind. A dear friend of mine swears by a microcassette recorder with which he records his recollections. Whatever works. ;)
I have physically had the key with me every day this month and also will have it tomorrow, so you may have discerned things before the night of the experiment. Don't dismiss these feelings and intuitions -- they may be more pertinent than you think!
Please look for a comment from me on your Intention Experiment page March 11, 2009. That’s the day of the experiment. (11 on 11! Aren’t we clever!)
I will post the comment with instructions sometime between 8 AM and 8 PM Central Daylight Savings Time.
Kathleen Helms is the Keyholder for this round.
It may be helpful 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 “Helms” in the box and click “Search Members”. Find “Kathleen Helms” in the results of your search and click her name or photo to get to her IE page.
Kate (Kathleen) has already selected the key object for this experiment. She will be frequently focusing on it in the run up to experiment day, and especially on experiment day. There is a possibility that you may intuit the key before the experiment next week. Because of this, you may want to keep a record of any intuitions or dreams that you have between now and the time after the experiment when I reveal the key. I’ll accept anything from you between now and then.

Hello Dream Fun Experiment Number Ten Participant,
I have posted my report as a comment on my Intention Experiment page. February 13, 2009. Please click my photo/icon to get to my page. The report may be pushed into my comment history as new comments arrive. Please click “View All Comments” to go into my comment history.
Hi there, Dream Fun Experiment Number Ten Participant!
The key for Number Ten is a Smiley Cup! Remember the Smiley Face fad of the 1970’s? That’s the one!
As you know, the Keyholder for Number Ten was Gina. Please go to her Intention Experiment page to see a photo of the key. If desired, please click the “Members” tab on the Intention Experiment website. When there, enter “Gina Boyles” in the box and click “Search Members”. Find “Gina” in the results of your search and click her name or photo to get to her IE page.
If the key rings a bell with you and you have more to add, please click my icon/photo here to go to my IE page and leave a comment for me. If it is pertinent to the experiment I will include it in the report. We’ll be posting the report in a few days or so.
Also, I’d like to hear if you had any synchronicities happen to you that related to this experiment; did any “coincidences” happen to you when you had your mind on this experiment? I’ll give you an example: last night I was watching the TV show “The Office”. One of the characters, Michael said “A herd of TURTLES”. It “just so happens” that I was thinking about the experiment at just that moment, especially the several incidences of Turtles/Tortoises in the responses! So that’s the kind of stuff I’m very interested in.
Today is the day, Dream Fun Experiment Number Ten Participant!
Please take note of any dreams or intuitions that you have during the next 24 hours. Please click on my icon/photo here to go to my Intention Experiment page to enter your submission as a comment to me. I’ll reveal the key a few days after the experiment.
Gina is the Keyholder. She has in mind the key that she will intend to share with you all. Your job is to intend to have a dream where you are part of a group and notice Gina’s key object! State your intention as you are drifting off to sleep and trust that your intention will be carried out.
When you read Gina’s instructions I would like you to imagine that they hold great weight and value. Pretend that they come from a friend that you gladly listen to. Imagine that it is important to pay attention to the instructions that follow here. I believe the more energetic focus and enthusiasm that you bring to bear; the more likely we are to have successful results.
I would suggest giving yourself plenty of time for sleeping. That will improve dream recall.
Details can be important. Please include as much detail in your submission as you are comfortable with.
What do we know that we don’t know that we know?
We shall see.
What work of Art will we grow on Life’s Tree?
All right! Here we go in the name of Life and Love!
Here are Gina’s instructions:
Greetings fellow dreamers!
As keyholder for this round I’ve selected this day for our group intention to connect through the dreamtime.
As before, the intention is to dream of joining a gathering of dream experiment participants and to become aware of what the key object is. I’d like to add the suggestion of a dream location. The dream location I have in mind is a BEACH.
My visualization prior to, and on the day of the experiment, is being at a beach with this group of dreamers. The “key” will be displayed on a wooden cable spool perched in the sand. The “beach” is located in your dream so no direction on how to get there is necessary.
Your method for focusing your intention should be your own. But as a framework, I’ll offer the following:
Before going to sleep during this experiment period give yourself a few minutes first to quiet your mind, focusing on your breath. Bring the image of being at the beach with fellow dreamers to your mind and feel that it is real. Know that you will see the key on the table. See yourself remembering your dream adventure the next morning. And trust that you will be an active participant in our group dreaming.
Hello Dream Fun Experiment Number Ten Participant!
And Happy New Year! (Chinese and otherwise!)

Hi Vicki,
Thanks for your interest. I’ll include you in the next one. It will be fun!
If you are interested in improving your dream recall, here is a link that one of the participants provided to the group:
http://www.lucidity.com/NL11.DreamRecall.html
The Dream Fun Experiment is based on the premise that the dream state is a shared environment.
Here's the experiment outline:
1. Meet in a dream location with other participants.
2. The key is a dream object decided upon ahead of time by one member.
3. Let's say, for example, the target 24 hour period for the experiment is the upcoming Thursday. I’ll enter a comment on all the participants’ pages on, say, the Sunday before, telling them to look for a comment on their page on Thursday.
4. The Thursday comment will say something like “IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS YOU WILL DREAM OF A GATHERING WHERE YOU BECOME AWARE OF THE KEY.”
5. That key holder member goes to sleep during that period with the intention (!) of meeting the other participants at a common meeting place and conveying to the others what the key is.
6. The participants go to sleep during that period with the intention (!) of having a dream where they are meeting others and become aware of a particular object.
7. The participants write down on the next morning, or whenever, any dreams that stick out.
8. If they think a dream is pertinent to the experiment, they leave a comment for me on my page with the content. If some insights come before or after the experiment period I will take those too.
9. I have a small Access database that I enter the responses.
10. The results are analyzed to see if anyone recognized what the key was. The responses are shared in case someone else wanted to scan them also for "hits".
11. I report back to you all with the results.
12. The key holder role is held by a different participant for each experiment.
I’m offering this in the spirit of fun.
Peace and Love,
Bill
