I have been going through my _Dream Guide to the Internet_ this month in an attempt to update the links for the upcoming ASD vote on what links will and will not be on the ASD Web. It is my position that the Net is made up of individual and group efforts that are interwoven together in a complex new gestalt of interconnectivity and open communication. There may be some reasons to censor in cyberspace, but there are more compelling reason *not* to. The dynamic social revolutions that are arising from open global communication and experimentation are still quite fragile. There is a cost in this freedom, and my experience has shown that the cost is defrayed by caring attention, where as it becomes too high a price where there is neglect. We apply this caring in many ways, each with his and her own talents and skills.

What I would like to do here is list the dreaming resources so we can link to them where appropriate, and add to them where we missed or lost links. This month's focus is on Lucid Dreaming Resources. If your web site offers a unique lucid dream resource, tell us about me about it and I'll include it in the growing body of LD sites.
