DREAMS AND DREAMWORK

Association for the Study of Dreams: www.asdreams.org. Huge! ASD's the best node I've found for dreamworkers. Relatively weak on dream art, though.

Electric Dreams, at dreamgate.com/dream/electric-dreams/, is a large online magazine about all aspects of dreamwork.

Linda Magallon's Flying Dreams (at http://members.aol.com/caseyflyer/flying/dreams.html ) is a good-sized site. Besides flying, it's strong on puns, lucidity, ESP and nightmares. Clear and well-written.

dmoz.org/Science/Social_Sciences/Psychology/Dreams/ is a good directory page listing smaller dreamsites.

The Lucidity Institute at Stanford is Stephen La Berge's project promoting lucid dreams. Narrowly focused.

Twisk is a dream-sharing site with good chat/feedback. Dream texts aren't edited, and often badly need it--but that's true of most sites with submitted dreams.

www.analysedreams.co.uk is a nonprofit site focused on dream interpretation. It's a simple, well-organized set of short articles--nothing profound, but a good basic reference.

http://idreamofhillary.blogspot.com/ has dreams on the main presidential candidates in 2008: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain. Funny.

ART--DREAM ART AND WRITING
Good sites are rare. Buggy code, awkward navigation, murky images, incoherent text. God, what if the cliche is true--dreamers really CAN'T handle technology? The shame, the shame...

www.slowwave.com is Jesse Reklaw's site showing his ongoing online cartoons, illustrating his fans' dreams. He's published several collections. I'm ambivalent about his style (see Bibliography), but admire the project.

Dreams: Artwork of the Collective Unconscious shows contributed dreams and art. Small, but it welcomes additions, and it works, unlike most others I found!

ASD (see DREAMS, above) has archived its annual dream-art shows from 1996 onward. Only samples, not full shows, but it's something.

Mark Ryden does dream-based paintings a bit like Junko Mizuno, full of cute kids and toys all gone a little greenish and moldy...

Franz Miklis does science fiction art he says is based on dreams. Not my thing, but quite skillful.

S. Toth has a large site with photocollages and rambly but oddly compelling dream narratives. You'll either love or hate it.

Visionary cartoonist Al Davison's site (see bibliography).

Rabbett Strickland, an Ojibway artist living in San Francisco, paints vivid mythological dreams in a Renaissance style. A small site, but beautiful.

C'mon, people! Find me more dream artists! You have to be out there!

ART--FURRY/ANTHROPOMORPHIC/CREATURES

VCL gallery: 4000 furry artists, 300,000 furry pictures. Uncensored, frequently crude, mostly junk of course, but full of weird and fascinating stuff. Try Chris Goodwin, Ursula Vernon, Corene Werhane, Melissa Loh, Vision, Sabrina O'Neal...

ART--WEB COMICS (send me suggestions!)

www.slowwave.com is Jesse Reklaw's site showing his ongoing online cartoons, illustrating his fans' dreams. He's published two collections. I'm ambivalent about his style (see Bibliography), but admire the project.

Faith is the tale of Raven, an orphaned demon girl raised as human. Shaky theology--if devils are real, howzabout angels? Like "Buffy", letting evil have all the strong cards makes for gloomy soap opera. But it's gripping and sharply written.

Sabrina Online, Eric Schwartz's ongoing furry webcomic. Not dream-oriented, just likable.

OTHER ART

City Art Cooperative Gallery: my gallery in San Francisco.

GLASER, Nina: Butoh-influenced, dreamlike staged photos that influenced several of my dreams. See Bibliography.

O'NEILL, Dan: pioneering underground cartoonist (see bibliography). His strip "Odd Bodkins" warped my worldview for life.

Kristen SARD: sexy dreamlike staged photos, distorted nondigitally. You won't believe me when you see them, but it's true. No computer.

TERAOKA, Masami: paintings in old Japanese style on modern issues like AIDS and culture clash.

ESP AND PARAPSYCHOLOGY

The Parapsychological Association: the organization founded by J.B.Rhine (Rhine cards, etc.) Try their Resource page or the journal abstracts in Archives. The site rather courteously lists an article with links to the largest skeptics organization:

CSICOP, the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. Given their habit of dismissing any amateur experimentation as "anecdotal", I have mixed feelings about them, but do they point out pitfalls and sharpen your experimental perspective.

Psychic Reader: site with 6 years of articles from the Reader, published by the Berkeley Psychic Institute. A sample New Age site, with some decent articles on psychic dreams. Few links. I really listed it because I once wrote for advice on my love life and their resident psychic published a VERY perceptive answer--except she got my gender wrong! Details, details...

SEX

Society for Human Sexuality, part of the Sex Education Web Circle, is a serious sort of place but has a lot of pretty reliable links.

Good Vibrations--San Francisco's alternative smut store. A small online catalog. They publish several good paper guides to erotica and sex subjects--unfortunately, the guide's not online. Grr.

Nancy FRIDAY. A lot of my sexier dreams were inspired by reading her famous books on sexual fantasies. The site is small, though.

FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION--see also WRITERS

Elfwood. A gigantic, well-done gallery--thousands of amateur fantasy and sf artists and writers, with bios and commentary.

Uplift Institute: doesn't exist yet. Let's start one! (David Brin began the whole idea in his sf novels, but no one's trying to realize his vision.) The basic idea: we're morally obliged to help other species develop sentience, if only to compensate them for killing, robbing, and enslaving them. We owe them big brains, health care, language, opposable thumbs, electric light! An Uplift Institute will collect data and start planning how to create a multispecies world. Uplifting fairly intelligent species may be simpler than we think. Big-brained species aren't rare because brains are hard to build--they're just costly. Brains are gas hogs--they burn 10-12 times as much energy as the average organ. Most wild species can't afford that. It's a poverty issue!

SCIENCE, especially planetology and climatology

http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/ is the best atlas of the solar system I've found. When constructing alternate worlds, I used it shamelessly.

Terraforming. This page of Astrobiology.com is the best I could find, in a splintered but fascinating field. It's a growth industry, kids! Get in on the ground floor! And for an (alarming) historical perspective on climate change, check out the Ice Age maps of Jonathan Adams, at http://members.cox.net/quaternary/

PAGANISM (including shamanism, witchcraft, Goddess worship)

Witches' Voice is a huge node.

Starhawk is probably the best-known American witch. I recommend her books, particularly her nonfiction, which provoked a vivid political dream: Starhawk the Witch.

Sacharuna is a fair-sized shamanic site. It's too drug-oriented for me; I get the same effects (with less risk) from drumming, visualization, and especially dreamwork. But their links page is good.

Burning Man. Not pagan? Burning Man's not pagan? What the hell else can you call naked artists building a mad ephemeral city in a desert?

www.spiritweb.org really isn't pagan, it's New Age, and too gooey for me. But what the hell, its networks page is big and diverse.

SHAMAN'S DRUM is a good paper zine, but I can't find a website yet.

AUTISM

www.autism.org, has many links plus an extensive and excellent section of essays and advice by autistic author Temple Grandin.

ANOREXIA

I recommend joining a group, if you can. Physically meeting others like yourself has a strange power that web-talk lacks--you may recognize our body type, mannerisms, pheromones... auras? Still, here are a few sites.

somethingfishy.org is the biggest and best online nexus.

The National Eating Disorders Association. Biggest organization around.

Overeaters Anonymous--despite the name, they also have groups for anorexics and bulemics at least here in San Francisco. Very good, and you can't beat the price.

HEALING FROM ABUSE
Send me URLs of personal sites wrestling with how to heal, and other noncommercial sites you like. I don't want to list ads from therapists.

www.ascasupport.org: I went to the original San Francisco group that began their program, and liked it. It's grown in the course of becoming a national program, but it's still peer support, not therapy, like its 12-step roots.

A good resource on addiction (and health issues in general) is the Health Vertical Portal, at Keoz3.com

WRITERS

Peter S. BEAGLE has no site of his own, but this is a good fan site with booklist.

Ray BRADBURY's site has excerpts from each of his books.

Ann FARADAY has scattered articles but no central site. Read her classic books, DREAM POWER and THE DREAM GAME.

James HILLMAN's own site seems to be down a lot, but a solid fan site is mythsandlogos.com/Hillman.html.

Stephen LA BERGE can be reached via his Lucidity Institute

Patricia MCKILLIP has no site of her own, but www.evan.org/McKillip.html is a good fan site, with a list of other writers McKillip fans might like--I did.

Ursula LE GUIN: the world's foremost living Taoist science fiction writer (well, maybe the only one). Ooh! Can I be the second?

Philip PULLMAN: two good sites! www.robotwisdom.com/jorn/pullman.html is thorough, if choppy. www.darkmaterials.com is smaller, but with a good bibliography, including even his disowned first novel.

JRR TOLKIEN: Start with The Tolkien Society and The Mythopoeic Society.

James TREFIL is on a panel discussing ESP research at www.closertotruth.com/topics/mindbrain/109/109transcript.html. Intriguing, but mostly not Trefil. Read his books.

Robert VAN DE CASTLE has a small site with an ad for his classic OUR DREAMING MIND, and an email link. Better: asdreams.org has some of his essays (he's an ASD member). But start with the book.
