Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dream?
A dream is the experience of a live environment inside of
which we find ourselves. It is an experience so vivid and
real, that we are convinced we are awake. This vivid
environment we call upon waking "dream." A dream is a
live ambiance.
What is dreamwork?
Dreamwork enables the dreamer, through careful
concentration, to return to a state as close as possible to
the actual dreamstate itself. The dreamer "re-enters" the
dream ambiance.
How does a dreamer do cyberdreamwork?
You hang out with a small group in a voice program in
cyberspace. You tell a dream in as evocative a language
as possible, so the cyberdreamworkers can enter into your
dream environment. You describe your dream as a place
where you have been, and where (usually) some kind of
event took place. You try to convey the experience of that
event and the environment where it took place.
What does a cyberdreamworker do?
As a cyberdreamworker you help the dreamer explore the
dreaming environment through careful non-suggestive
questioning. It helps the dreamer to stay focused.
What is a cyberdreamcoach?
A cyberdreamcoach is someone who has received
training in guiding voice-dreamgroups in cyberspace.
The training consists of non-therapeutic dreamwork,
with a focus on cyberdreamwork and a training in
the technical aspects of cyberdreamwork: voice
programs, bio-monitoring, devices and any other
equipment the future will bring.
Why dreamwork with others, why not alone?
Dreamwork is collaborative. You get far deeper if someone
helps to keep you focused on your dream. The "I" in our
lives has the tendency not to want to stay with dreams
because dreams tend to reveal unkown aspects of
existence that might frighten "I". Even if you tell
yourself you really want to work on dreams, unconsciously
"I" will sabotage. "I" does not want to become a
supporting actor. "I" wants to be in the lead. To speak
in dramatic metaphor, dreamwork shifts the attention away
from "I" the protagonist to the theater piece as a whole.
Why cyberdreamwork?
Over the last century, since the invention of the telephone,
we have been getting increasingly apt at being
electronically present with others. Cyberspace as a new
medium increases even further our ability to be emotionally
present while being physically absent. Our test phase has
demonstrated that voices in cyberspace, virtually present,
keep the dreamer focused equally well as actually present
people. At this point cyberdreamwork is different from
telephone dreamwork because the voice connection is free
wherever you are in the world. This makes inter-cultural
dreamwork possible.
How does the process unfold?
The longer the dreamer focuses on the events in the dream
environment, the more emotions will surface as well as
sensations in the dreamer's body. Weaving back and forth
between the sensations/emotions on the one hand, and the
dream events in their environment on the other will elicit a
host of insights.
Why only first names?
If so desired, cyberdreamwork can provide a certain
anonymity. You can frequently tell a stranger more than an
intimate. Having disembodied voices without particular
location ask you about your dream can often relax
resistances. Others like to do cyberdreamwork with friends.
What is cyberdreamwork.com's vision of the future?
At cyberdreamwork.com we believe dreams are the
universal language of the soul. They are an ideal means of
deepening communication between people from varying
cultures. We see a cyberdreamwork future where people
from different cultures and from all corners of the globe will
work and help one another with their dreams. We see a
time when translation programs will make intercultural
dreamwork more accessible, when direct psychophysical
monitoring will bring us more in synch with a culturally
foreign dreamer and when our dreams will be reflected in a
vast array of mirrors. Dreams are the ultimate prism.

is no real solution. We have tried to increase the size
of our type to adjust the problem. The difficulty might
also be the text size you have programmed into your
computer. Go to the menu at the top of your
computer, click open View. Look at the Text

for your whole computer.
