Soft playback to each sleeper's ear of own voice.
Intermittent release of smells: incense, cheese, cinnamon.
A fragrant flower at the pillow of each in the morning.
Dawn bird sounds as people arise on their own time.
Breakfast in the kitchen: coffee, tea, juice, fruit, bread,
cheese, pastry with a continuous film of coffee disappearing
from a cup.
Inquiry and discussion of the night's dreams and experiences.
Some dreams reported:
"I was at a party with my friends . . . talking and dancing.
Then I awoke and saw them all sleeping. So I went back to sleep
and to the party where the fun was ..."
"I heard my voice say 'red' and dreamt of meeting with some
Communists who were the back-up band for a video cabaret."
"I was dreaming of a contest where a room of people could do
no talking. I finally spoke and lost the contest."
"I was dreaming something, but when I heard my own voice
say, listen,' the dream stopped."
A dog asleep at the event scratched its neck, loudly rattling
its tags. "I was lying down still. Suddenly appeared an old
Indian shaking his death rattle. He stopped just before I died."
"I dreamt commercials during the silences."
"In the morning I heard the rooster and dreamt it was a dog
crowing."
"I was awake all night and heard nothing at all. But I feel so
well rested ..."
