tense and worried. I want very
much to make contact with him. I
feel sorry for him. I work my way
toward him despite the crowds
and begin speaking comforting
words to him. He does not seem to
hear me and remains withdrawn.
His face is badly scarred. My
attempts fail and I go away.
If you have had a dream involving
Richard Nixon, please describe it in a
letter to me, which I will answer.

Women's Periodic Dreams
I am a student researcher with the
Sleep Clinic and Research Center at
Stanford University. I am studying
women's dreams to see if different
archetypes appear at different stages
of the menstrual cycle. I hope that this
research will lead to something that
will help the individual woman
dreamer develop an understanding of
the meaning that menstruation has
for her. If you are interested in
participating in this dream research,
please contact me: Ms. Grace Szabo,
450 Melville Avenue, Palo Alto, CA
94301.
Dream Exchange
Would you like to exchange dream
interpretations with other dreamers?
If you do not have other people with
whom to tell dreams and exchange
interpretations, perhaps you would
like to join our experimental dream
exchange. Your dream will be copied
and sent to several other people who
will send you their insights. In
exchange, you will be sent a few
dreams and asked to send the
dreamers your interpretations.
If you would like to participate, and
are willing to help others as well as
receive help yourself, send a dream, a
self-addressed, stamped envelope and
one dollar (to cover duplicating costs)
to: Frank Stephano, 39 Remsen
Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201.
Berkeley Dream Festival
A group of people, who each worked
with dream groups, met to share their
own dreams, their different
dreamwork approaches and their
problems and desires. There arose the
|

idea of a public program to bring
dream consciousness to the
community. The theme chosen for the
first Berkeley Dream Festival was
''Dreams and the Journey to
Wholeness." The event was
inaugurated with a gratifyingly
enthusiastic audience, small but
hungry. Subsequent themes have
been "Dreams of Pregnancy and
Birth," "Harnessing the Energy of
Dreams," and "Art and Archetypes."
We have had speakers, a convention-
like, all-day program, workshops
offering different approaches to
dreams, a dance troupe who
choreograph their dreams, a dream
lab demonstration, and panel
discussions. The public seems
grateful for the opportunity to share
their own experiences and learn more
about dreams. For further
information concerning the
Festivals, contact Betty Davis, 2911

Sausalito Community Dream
Journal
A waterfront houseboat community
has developed its own dream journal,
each issue full of dreams submitted by
the neighbors from their dream boats.
Although many of the dreams make
interesting reading in themselves, the
journal also provides outsiders with
an interesting case study of how
circulating dreams can serve to bring
to the surface the underwater currents
in a community. One neighbor
became upset and moved out of the
community upon reading the kinds of
dreams the children were sending in.
The frank and forthright entries will
be appealing to students of
unabashed human nature and to
social psychologists of dream
sharing. A dollar should get you a
sample peep or two. Contact John
Van Daam, P.O. Box 1123, Sausalito,
CA 94965.
The Center for Dream Drama
The Eqidaurus Circle in the Center
for Dream Drama has been holding
ongoing dream groups and open
evening activities for the past five
years under the direction of Harold
Ellis. Dream Drama has a double
result: through sharing our dreams
we better understand and trust each
other socially; and in understanding
