First of all, this blog is not dead!
I know it is bad taste writing blog posts excusing oneself for not blogging, but I guess it’s ok to do it once in a while. Moving to another country (US) can be seen as a great excuse, right?
I blogged before about Kira, a virtual institute in Second Life, that hosts a number of fascinating workshops. This year I was invited to co-host the Dream Workshop with Maxine Walden (thank you, Maxine!) which takes place every Tuesday at 1 pm SLT (second life time, equivalent to Pacific Time, if not sure, check this website for time zones).
We will be talking about a number of dream and sleep related phenomena, the participants expressed great enthusiasm and interest in talking about sleep paralysis, hypnagogic hallucinations, lucid dreaming, nightmares and other stuff. More topics are likely to arise as the seminar progresses and takes more shape. Anyone can attend, it is free, one only has to create an avatar in Second Life (which is quite easy) and acquaint himself with the basics of Second Life (which is also fairly uncomplicated). Personally I am very excited about this opportunity and I’m sure that the workshop will become a stimulating forum for exchanging ideas and views.
Here’s the info about how to get there. For those who already are familiar with Second Life, here’s the slurl (SL location-based URL) of the Kira Cafe where the seminar will take place: http://slurl.com/secondlife/BaikUn/226/96/251
For more info please visit the wiki for the Workshop. I have just set it up a couple of days ago, so there is not much material there yet, but as the workshop progresses more and more stuff will be added, including upcoming topics and perhaps some transcripts and other useful links. http://dreamworkshop.wikispaces.com/.
Hope to see you there!
