Welcome to The GrOOvy Dream-rater Web Page!!



This site was created to guide the puzzled dreamer through
a few of the many dream related websites availiable.
As you scroll down you will see a link for the site, then a brief description.

The listed sites are a product of selecting random sites that came up as a result of an
Alta-Vista search with the query being on "Dreams" & "Dream Interpretations"

www.lucidity.com

Upon entering the homepage of The Lucidity Institute, a web surfer would glimpse into the wonderful commercialism of the Internet. The Lucidity Foundation is an institute that wants to 'help' people realize the power of lucid dreaming for a price. There was limited information about what a lucid dream really is. Most of the site focused on tools that will help someone dream lucidly. If someone wanted to know what a lucid dream is or how to dream one, a purchase would have to be made from the online catalog that is disguised as "excerpts from books about lucid dreaming". There was also a link to a page about a man named Mulla Nusradin. There seemed to be some kind of inside joke going, because it would just describe a dream that this man had, but didn't explain the dream or tell why this link was important to lucid dreaming. If you really want to know what a lucid dream is and what the significance of one is, don't go to this site.

The music accompanies the visitor and adds to his or her mood while searching for dream web sites.

Right away you can tell this sight is not a commercial venture, but one that is actually concerned with helping one interpret dreams. The creator of the sight first proclaims his mission, a long journey of finding the meaning of dreams. The simple nature of it shows that it was made by someone who is less computer savvy, and more concerned with information, therefore sincere. The site contains links to direct the puzzled dreamer in the direction best suited to help them. There are also links to books dealing in dreams. These links have a dollar sign next to them to indicate payment must incur. This proves that in no way is Dr. Dream trying to get your money, but instead is offering a variety of options for the concerned and unfulfilled dream weaver.

www.dreamweavers.org

Dreamweavers is a site that at first glance looks very helpful, and very time honored in its sense for helping you with your dreams. Because it has the suffix ".org" you would assume that this would have nothing that would have to be purchased. In the beginning, the site tells its credentials, what kind of dream language and philosiphy it uses. Then how it plans to help you the dreamer. As you scroll down, you realize this information is obtained at a cost, through a multi-volume video collection. Although the video set(shown in pictures) looks informative the prices range from near $100 to over $370. This makes the ultimate decision in the quest for dream interpretation one of who wishes to spend a lot of money. However, in terms of free dream information, purely on the web, this is not the site to go to.

This dream site allows for in depth insight into your own dreams aswell as others. It gives anyone and everyone an opportunity to contribute new dreams and submit interpretations. When first entering this site there is a brief welcoming describing how the site works, then there is a menu list of dreams that people have submitted. You can read the various dreams people have entered, others interpretations, or you can analyze someone else's dream if you have any ideas or suggestions to go about interpreting it. I was under the impression that since the site is open to anyone to make interpretations that people would not take critiquing the dreams seriously. My assumption was wrong though because all of the analyzes were very insightful and whoever submitted their insights seemed very educated on the topic of dream analysis. They were even aware of the symbolism in dreams. This site would be useful for someone questioning the meaning of a dream or for someone who has researched dream analysis and is able to make sense of and translate the symbolism in dreams.

This site was created by CK, DR, KS and GT. A project for EN100 with Dr. Shokoff at SUNY Fredonia
