Until the 1960’s evidence for psi-dreaming (including precognitive dreams, telepathic
dreams, remote viewing dreams, and mutual dreams) consisted mostly of anecdotal
reports. At that point researchers at Maimonides Dream Laboratory took the next step, and

in a series of controlled scientific studies demonstrated that subjects could repeatedly tune

into randomly selected external targets in their dreams. A meta-analysis of post-

Maimonides studies of psi-dreaming by other researchers confirmed this effect .

Research since the 1970’s in remote viewing has demonstrated that human beings in

general have the ability to tune into designated targets outside of the range of their physical

senses. In 1995 the CIA hired Dr. Jessica Utts, a professor of statistics at the University of

California, Davis, to evaluate a series of remote viewing experiments done at the Stanford

Research Institute. She concluded: "Using the standards applied to any other area of

science, it is concluded that psychic functioning has been well established. The statistical

results of the studies examined are far beyond what is expected by chance. Arguments that

these results could be due to methodological flaws in the experiments are soundly refuted."

And it seems generally agreed that spontaneous dream-state psi occurs much more easily

and often than waking-state psi.

In this contest you will have the opportunity to tune into a target image in using

dream remote viewing.

How will this Dream Remote Viewing Contest Work?

The Dream Remote Viewing event will take place from 12 noon EDT / 9 a.m. PDT

Thursday October 8 through 12 noon EDT / 9 a.m PDT Friday October 9 2009.

Participants must submit their dreams by 6 p.m. EDT / 3 p.m. PDT Friday Afternoon,

October 9, 2009.

Participants will attempt to use their dreams to tune into the Target Image, sealed inside a
large 9 X 12" manila envelope placed on the desk in the guest bedroom at Ed Kellogg's

house in Talent, Oregon, U.S.A.

Latitude = QMMAA Longitude = SMMJJ

Ed will place this envelope on the desk near his lab computer at 12 noon EDT / 9 a.m.

PDT Thursday October 8 and will leave it there until 12 noon EDT / 9 a.m PDT Friday

October 9 2009. Ed will not know what the contest Target Image looks like until he opens

it later on Friday, after the submission deadline. A designate of his, not associated with

IASD or the PDC will select the Target Image independently. The designate will also fill out

this form with information about the target image, which will also go into the target

envelope:

Quote:

Title: (A short title that describes the essence of the image.)

Themes: (Major thematic elements that show up in the image. For example, drama,

situation comedy, exploration, murder mystery, etc.)

Emotions: (Emotional content of the image if any, love, hate, excitement, anger, joy,

depression, bewilderment, etc.)

Major structural elements: (Shapes, colors, textures, movements, inside/outside,

lighting.

Unexpected elements: (Unique or unusual elements that stand out - that don't quite "fit"

or belong in the image scene.)

Ed will post a .jpg. of the graphic image online, sometime after the submission deadline

for participants dreams (6 p.m. EDT / 3 p.m. PDT Friday Afternoon October 9

2009.)

After opening up the envelope, for judging purposes Ed will fill out a Psi Dream Key
Questionnaire(short form) , treating the target image as if it represented a dream

image.

The REG (Random Event Generator)

To add an extra element to this year's contest, Ed will place an REG unit on top of the

manila envelope with the Target Image inside during the viewing period and record its

output.

Research at Princeton and elsewhere has repeatedly demonstrated that people can

significantly change the output of REG units through focused intent. As people tune into the

target image during that night, this may affect the output of the REG sitting on top of it as

well. If you wish to participate in this experimental aspect of the contest, please include the

exact, or at least the approximate, time that you awakened from each dream. The

experimental hypothesis: When a dreamer successfully tunes into the target image, they

may have an effect on the REG unit, through something like "nano-PK". I would expect that

this effect, if it exists, would seem particularly strong for lucid dreamers who succeed at

focusing their intent to tune into the target image while dreaming. After the submission
deadline if all goes according to plan <g>) I'll put up a chart of the REG output for the 24

hour Target Image viewing period. Participants who have noted the time of their dreams

can look for matches between successful DRV psi dreams, and unusual REG activities.

How to ‘Tune In’: While lying in bed and before going to sleep, focus your intent
by repeating an affirmation to that tonight you will have a clear dream of the Target

Image. (You also might want to use imagery, to reinforce your affirmation, by imagining

yourself opening the manila envelope in a dream and pulling out the target image, and

seeing yourself happily writing down what you saw in your dream in detail in the morning.)

Feel free to personalize your affirmation by using your own words, rather than using one of

the versions given below as examples:

Quote:

a. "Tonight I will have a clear dream of the 2009 DRV Contest Target Image. I will

remember the dream imagery of the Target Image clearly and easily when I wake up in

the morning." I want to see the target image clearly, and to understand it in the same way

as when I see it online on later on Friday.

b. "Tonight I will tune into 2009 DRV Contest Target Image at Ed Kellogg's house. When

I awaken in the morning I will remember my dreams clearly and in detail.

 c. "Tonight I will see the 2009 DRV Contest Target Image in my dreams. I will see the

image clearly in a dream, and will identify it as the Target Image while dreaming. When I

awaken in the morning I will remember my dreams in detail, clearly and accurately and will

know which dream image corresponds to the Target Image.

Writing Down Your Dreams: When you wake up in the morning, write your
dreams down in detail, including pictures and diagrams if you like. If you have time, we also

suggest that you fill out, or at least look over, the Psi Dream Key Questionnaire (short

form). If you would like a copy of the long form of the PDKQ send a request to

alef1@msn.com and I'll email you one. I highly recommend that you fill out the long form at

least once to get an idea of what details to look for and include in a psi-dream report.

In order to make important elements of each dream easily available for the

judges, we suggest that you begin each dream report as follows:

Quote:

Title: Come up with a short title that describes the essence of your dream.

Themes: List the major thematic elements that showed up in the dream. For example,

drama, situation comedy, exploration, murder mystery, etc.

Emotions: Emotional content of the dream if any, love, hate, excitement, anger, joy,

depression, bewilderment, etc.

Major structural elements: shapes, colors, textures, movements, inside/outside,

lighting.

And last but not least,

Unexpected elements: elements that stand out - that don't quite "fit" or belong in the

dream scene.

Follow this with the detailed text of dream report. Try to include essential details and
highlight elements that many dream reports leave out. In writing your dream reports,
please give priority to describing the often overlooked structural level of your
dreamscapes. For example, reports should mention whether the dream occurred ‘inside’ or
‘outside’, during the daytime or nighttime (or in a brightly lit environment or a dark one),
shapes, colors, etc.

For example, instead of writing:

“I see Margaret in Israel,”

which may mean something to you, but not for the judges as it leaves out potentially
important details, you might instead report:

“In a sunlit, barren desert with wasteland of brown rock and scrub in Israel I see Margaret,
a tall, thin woman with graying hair worn in a braid and a large hooked nose. She looks
about 50 and has on a blue dress.”

Detailed descriptions also help the judges to fairly and efficiently find matches in the many
contest entries that come their way.

To further develop your psi-dreaming skills, if you submit multiple dreams, indicate which
dream(s) you feel best matches the psi target. Even better, boldface those sections of
your dreams that you feel best tune into the psi target.

The judges will award extra points for those who do this and succeed -- no points taken off
for those who try this and do not!

We also encourage you to self-analyze any hits that you believe that you made in your
dreams once you know the contest's psi target, but before the judges have made their final
decisions. Please feel free to "blow your own horn". <lol> Don't wait for the judges to
decide on your hits for you - after all - you had the dreams, they can only read your dream
report text, and may not see hits that seem clear to you.

Submitting your Entry: In order to qualify for a prize, you must submit your
entry by 6 p.m. EDT / 3 p.m. PDT Friday Afternoon October 9 2009. . Aside from the
dream report, entries may also include graphic files as attachments, that either diagram
the dreamscape and/or depict the dreamscape itself. Preferred file formats for such
attachments would include small(< 50kb) JPEG, or GIF files. If you have filled out a Psi
Dream Key Questionnaire(short form) please append it to your emailed dream report
(Please do not post graphics or PDKQs on the discussion board thread) Send attachments
to alef1@msn.com, but please post the text of your dream reports on the Dream Remote
Viewing Contest Thread on the 2009 PsiberDreaming Conference Discussion Board
if you want other participants to see them.

Judging: The judge will rate the similarity of dreams from participants with details and
aspects of the Target Image, and will also use the optional short form PDKQ if supplied as
a supplementary source of information. First, the judge will look for similarities on the
structural level, that consists of the stage settings and props, the raw dreamscape before
we project meaning onto it, the highest priority (light or dark, inside or outside, shapes,
colors, etc.) Second, the judge will look for similarities on the meaning level, in which
symbols, feelings, and the relationships of the dream characters and objects predominate.
And Third, the judge will look for similarities on the labeling level, where we verbally
interpret and identify what happens during a dream.
(Note: although we encourage everyone - including our expert presenters! - to enter all
of the PsiberDreaming Contests, only participants and volunteers can win prizes.)

Prizes: This year’s prizes include books (many autographed by their authors), tapes, and
other items generously donated by the 2009 PsiberDreaming Conference Presenters and by

choice, and the Third Prize winner third choice. And every category has great prizes!

First Prize: One item from any Category.

Second Prize: One item from Category 2 or 3.
Third Prize: One item from Category 3.
The PsiberDreaming Triathlon (back again this year!) - to anyone who wins a prize (1st,
2nd, or 3rd) in all three contests: One additional item from any Category!

Some Books of Interest:

Dream Telepathy by Montague Ullman M.D., Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., and Alan Vaughn,
Penguin Books, 1973. A report on the Maimonides Medical Center Dream Laboratories study
on telepathy and ESP in dreams.

Through the Curtain by Viola Petitt Neal, Ph.D., and Shafica Karagulla, M.D. DeVorss and
Company, 1983. The amazing account of an extraordinarily proficient lucid dreamer, who
could not only could recall her experiences in extraordinary detail, but who could also
dictate events out loud (to a tape recorder or monitor) while sleeping. She attended many
"night classes" on different subjects in her dreams. This book consists in large part of a
recounting of what she learned ,and the information she tuned into.

Everybody’s Guide to Natural ESP: Unlocking the Extrasensory Power of Your Mind,
by Ingo Swann, Jeremy P. Tarcher, Inc., 1991. Out of print and hard to find, but well worth
reading if you can find a copy.

The Stargate Chronicles by Joseph McMoneagle, Hampton Roads Publishing, 2002. A

fascinating "psi- biography" of one of the most talented and successful remote viewers out
there, This book also includes an account of one of the most spectacularly successful DRV's
I've ever see reported.

Tracks in the Psychic Wilderness, and River Dreams by Dale Graff, Element Books,
1998 and 2000. Two books written by another very talented remote viewer, unique in that
the author has focused a great deal of his attention and intention in exploring and
experimenting with Dream Remote Viewing (DRV), a subject rarely touched upon in
other RV books.

Dream Detective by Chris Robinson with Andy Boot, Little, Brown and Company, 1996. I
find Chris Robinson's psi dreamwork very impressive, as recounted in this book (also
available on Chris' website at: http://dream-detective.com/_wsn/page8.html) but even
more impressively documented in the series of experiments he did with Gary Schwartz in
Arizona in 2001. (http://dream-detective.com/_wsn/page7.html, http://dream-
detective.com/_wsn/page11.html ) I've seen DVDs of the video recording of the
experiments the DRV hits he made seem amazing - and I found Dr. Gary Schwartz reactions
as the experiments continue - with success after success - amazingly entertaining. Schwartz
did an excellent job both in the designing a tight protocol and in carrying it out.
Unfortunately, Chris' personality and "political incorrect" views have apparently prevented
this work from gaining the recognition that I believe it richly deserves.

Miracles of Mind: Exploring Nonlocal Consciousness and Spiritual Healing, by

Russell Targ, R, and Jane Katra, New World Library, 1998. The first half presents Targ's
conclusions after 20 years of remote viewing experiments at SRI, while the second half
describes how we can use our psi abilities for health and healing.

Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self by Robert Waggoner, Moment Point Press,
2009. This book includes a number of chapters on different aspects of dream psi. He
presents a great deal of fascinating and inspirational material gathered from a wide variety
of experienced lucid dreamers (including the author) not easily available elsewhere.
