involve   more  people   than  just  the  dreamer  with  the
dream?"  At  one level  or another, each  article seems to
bear on these questions.
    The article, "Sharing and Working on Dreams," should
be helpful  to those  of  you in a dream group. "Art in the
Dream Group"  provides  some specific  group  methods
for dream sharing using art.
     For the individual working alone, doing creative work
based  on  dreams  is  a  way  that  the power,   beauty  or
insight  of  the  dream  may  be  shared  with  others. The
section   of   material,   "Dreams  and  Creative  Writing,"
gives  some  examples.   So  does   the   article,  "Dream-
Shields"   Another   do—it—yourself"   article,   "Dream-
language," provides  a method  for doing dreamwork in a
personal journal.  It also touches on the question of how
to interpret the meaning  of "other persons" encountered
in dreams.
     Dreams  are  shared  in  the  "Spinning Dream Wheel"
and, of course, in Subscribers' Dreams. The significance
of sharing dreams is discussed in the review  of Howard
Schwartz's  Dream  Journal.  This  essay  also  suggests
how  the creativity inherent  in dreaming  may provide  a
basis for sharing.  This theme is also present  in "The Art
of Remembering Dreams" and in "The Dream Poet."
     Be   sure   to   take   note   of   the   "Announcements."

     The  aspect   of   the  Journal  that   is  the  "Sundance
Experiment"  seems  off   to   a  good  start.  Subscribers'
dreams reflecting the nature of the Sundance Community
Dream Journal
are proving to be important. Our editors
are counting   on you  to study these dreams and  send in
your comments for publication.
     We hope  you  enjoy reading the Journal. Even more,
we hope you find some of it applicable in your life.
