I usually go to at least 1 convention or festival per month. Places like: Comic Con, Siggraph, Telemagica, The ASD International Dream Conference, World Festival, Adams Avenue Street Fair, Summer Solstice Celebration, Lightning in a bottle. My favorite weekend event is Barcamp! I enjoy going to Barcamps, because it is a place for creative people to express there talents and learn from each other in an open source way. Anyone can show up and schedule to do a presentation on anything high tech or interesting.

Barcamp LA 6 was great! Props to the hosts for making the un-convention happen. There was a crowd of highly skilled developers using cutting edge technology. A lot of the presentations were very interesting.

There are Un-Conferences happening all over the world, at different times. and they are full of creative, self motivated, highly skilled people.

Barcamp San Diego 4 will be taking place November 15th & 16th 2008. I plan to do a presentation on Oneironauts or Explorers of the Dream World.

I highly recommend Barcamp to people like you, who read my blog. Visit BarCamp.org to see upcoming events around the world.

On the first weekend of February 2007, ABC broadcasted a short segment about Lucid Dreaming which highlighted the fact that anyone can learn how to control their dreams. This short segment barely scratched surface of the tip of the ice burg on what lucid dreaming is about, but it is great to see the subject covered on a nation wide news channel. Hopefully this segment will inspire more people to learn about their dreams, and explore this increasable state of consciousness.

ABC Good Morning America Article:
“Control Your Dreams with Lucid Dreaming”

About 1 week before that segment aired on ABC, I was contacted by the producer of Good Morning America Weekend. She requested to use footage from a documentary I directed called “Explorers of the Lucid Dream World”. Of course I agreed, and some of the footage from the documentary was used during the segment.

Explorers of the Lucid Dream World” DVD is an excellent resource for learning more about how to have a lucid dream. It includes interviews from world renowned dream researchers, such as Dr. Stephen LaBerge, who was also interviewed on the ABC Good Morning America Special mentioned above. You can obtain a copy of this DVD by visiting the official website:
