A central area of this site is a webforum called Earth Dreaming; for a community of dreamers from around the world. There is a focus on small groups of dreamers (about 8), sharing dreams on a regular basis and attempting mutual dreaming experiments.

Along with active dreaming journeys to place such as the Redwood Forests and Antarctica. Since February, one one fun side-project we've been running is the 'Dream Master of the Month' competition. Below is Dream Master 7's stunning time travel dream, from February, in which she ventures 800 years into the possible future on Earth:

TRAVELLING THROUGH TIME (08 Feb 2003)

A non-lucid dream fades. I'm waking up, but I stop myself from waking up any further. As I'm laying in the pitch-blackness, I start to spin with my arms extended out like a top in order to enter a dreamscape again, but for some reasons this spinning technique doesn't work very well. The images are very fuzzy and dull. I suddenly remember Explora's technique of white light coming out of the top charkas. I'm aware that it's actually for the dream recall, but I'm desperate here. I'm struggling on the unstable, wobbly ground. The color of green is intense, but other colors, they look almost like black and white. I have a hard time telling the difference between my sleep body feelings and my dream body feelings. I barely can crawl;

I start imagining the pure white light coming out of my top charkas including third eye charka and crown charka with an intention that my dream will be stabilized. I, then, say, "VIVID now!" It works. The sensations I have been feeling from my sleeping body just disappear magically and my vivid dreamscape stabilizes. I'm outside in the backyard closely reassembles my actual backyard except that the grass is tall and it seems to glow on its own. It is a magical nighttime. I crawl a bit more to make sure that I'm in SP (Sleep Paralysis) state because I have had some dreams where I just run all of a sudden then I wake myself up accidentally because I wasn't deep enough in SP.

When I gain my confidence, I get up and start to walk. I have no idea where to go so I decide to go to my front yard since there wasn't anything for me to do in my backyard. I'm now in middle of the neighbors' street. It is very dark - pitch-black image of houses, mailboxes, etc.-- still nothing. I look up at the swirling blue sky and decide to fly at a rocket speed. I intend to fly out of the sky into the space, but something unexpected happened. As I fly higher and higher, I feel the hidden knowledge being revealed in my head. I continue to look at the sky when everything becomes void. I am in a white space/void. It only lasts for a few seconds, but when I am there in the void, I remember saying, "Oh no! Please, I don't want to die or experience an OBE (Out of Body Experience)!" I just have this knowledge that if the white void lasts long enough, I will either have an OBE or die. I feel that I now have an expanded knowledge.

Immediately, I know what I need to do. I scream at top of my lung, "GO FORWARD TO 800 YEARS LATER - NOW!" Then, I look down while I land. I'm in the same street except that it's brighter because there are bright blue lamps floating in midair, illuminating the street and the neighbors. The atmosphere seems more pure and clean. I, right away, can tell that they have bonded with the nature and have made everything environment-friendly as possible. Even the mountains in the distance are clear and sharp like a razor.

I enter one of houses that I randomly choose. The family sees me and immediately knows that I am one of Lucid Dream Time Travelers as if they already experienced this. I get an impression that by that time, they already know about lucid dreams and that they're using them to promote the peace on the earth, including peace between man-made things and earth-made things. I explain, "I'm from 800 years in the past. I have mastered the skill of Lucid Dreaming. I traveled through my subconscious medium in order to learn what I need to know. I'm a natural Lucid Dreamer." They seem that they already know that I am coming and already know my purpose. I am welcomed with a warm hug.

They escort me up into the top floor (they call it an attic). The first thing I have noticed is that there are many windows on one side and some "sunroofs (windows on the ceiling)" to allow natural sunlight to flow through. The nighttime has changed into bright, sunny daytime. There are no windows on other three walls. I am not even sure if it is actually made of glass, but I do notice that there are a giant "window" in the front of a mini-version of red hovering vehicle; this "window" is upright gradually curves into horizontal level. This vehicle is approx. two feet in length and one-half in height; I am not sure about width. I have a feeling that this vehicle has an ability to "shrink" when not in use to be stored efficiently without taking up the space. When a person approaches to the red vehicle, it resizes itself to its actual size.

As I observe, I notice that the house is entirely controlled by computer. The computer has the ability to read body language/movement to send a series of command needed for this certain body language/movement. It also can be commanded by voice. I have a feeling that this computer is expandable. For example, I can request the computer to start recognize the sign language so I can command by using sign language. I have notice that the house seems to be very environment-friendly and more nature-made rather than man-made. It closely resembles a cabin, making out of woods (I get an impression that the woods are still alive?). Its design is very advanced, but unbelievably simple.

The family decides that it's time to create pizza so they invite me to go with them outside. I have a feeling that I am top of the house, on the grass? They are preparing to bake the pizza by using the sun source. "Mom" looks up at me and says jovially, "Go make your own pizza in RL (Real Life) and come back to us in your next LD (Lucid Dream)." I say, "Butà," I try to stop it, but the dream fades out quickly just like when you're at the point of sneezing where you can't turn back. I am very determined and somehow, I successfully reenter my LD so I decide to attempt and come back to revisit.

I end up going to the future of 1,800 years later. To my shock, the earth atmosphere died. Only few people are still alive. Everything is void-like. I do not want to see any further since it is a very unexpected creepy scene. It actually scares me to death. I try to remember what year I have traveled so I can revisit this same family, but I can't remember. No matter how hard I try to remember, I just can't. I end up going back in my past and then in the future; I never end up in right time and right place. It actually wears me out. I wake up before I forget the entire dream.
