Dreamwork Links
One of the great things about dreamwork is the fantastic people you meet. Here are links to wonderful dreamers and dreamworkers whose work I admire and rely on in my own explorations.

The Lucid Dream Exchange offers articles, interviews, and exercises for learning about and practicing lucid dreaming.
Dream Tree is a compendium of online resources related to dreaming. The site is beautifully designed but not always up to date; the many resources make it well worth a visit.
Steve Aizenstat is a therapist, dreamworker, and founder of the Pacifica Institute, which (among other things) houses the Joseph Campbell archives. His website lists upcoming workshops and lectures, and provides a series of wonderful articles (available as PDF files). I heard Steve's presentation at the 2006 Mythic Journeys conference and would love to take one of his workshops some day.
