Thanks to everyone who applied. For those of you who didn't make the staff, that doesn't mean we can't use you down the line. With that being said, welcome to the team, Bako, Shades and DDK!!!

1. Are you interested in working full time or part time on this project? (Full time would be like 1 hr. a day, part time would be anything less than that)

Part time.

2. Are you a good editor? (Please link some of your work if possible)

I believe I am a good editor - I have edited others on numerous occasions, and I normally self-edit (effectiveness of this could be debatable). My example will be dual-purpose.

3. Are you a good writer? (Please link some of your work if possible)

First person short-story, focused on a psychopath: 'The Records of Brian Waite'

"Now, I've got to figure a way to break from these chains. Can't you hear them rattle with every step I take? Every word I speak? They tremble with envy, they want to be free… individuals. Isn't that what society is? Everyone's chained together to keep humanity in order, but we long to be individuals… individuals. We carry the lead ball, which is really composed of the 'important' people. The people with authority. We, the chain, carry the lead ball—we carry the only true 'individuals'. Has a ring to it, doesn't it? Well, what if we all broke off and did our own thing! What would happen to society? This realization has given me a very bitter, bitter insight. You better fucking believe I ate the forbidden fruit. Knowledge. Lunacy-driven knowledge.

We get tricked into making something of ourselves, we try and become successes out of own personal dreams and ideas, but as we get older our selection becomes more and more limited, and eventually it winds down to something we never wanted to be. Some people end up within sight of their goal, their lifelong objective, and as they get closer and closer, it gets farther and farther. Eventually, it disappears, leaving them behind in the darkness as others swarm and envelop them, also trying to chase their hopeless dreams.

Notice the daunting similarities, in case you missed them."

4. Is organization one of your strong suits? (In terms of content, chapters etc.)

I can be very organized if need be.

5. List any prior experience you may have had regarding working on a book

Short stories and fan fiction series (...lol)

6. Is lucid dreaming a strong suit of yours?

It used to be! I'm working at it again, though.

7. Are you good at brainstorming? Or do you tend to set off fire alarms...

I can definitely brainstorm.

8. Do you remain current on lucid dreaming studies and new information regarding the subject in general? (If so, please give a brief explanation)

I know the basics and the advanced, but not necessarily the current (whatever the current is).

9. Is graphic designing a strong suit of yours? (please list examples if applicable)

I have the ideas, but not the talent! Haha.

10. What do you feel you could bring to the table on this project? How do you feel you'll be of most help?

I can offer my proficiency as a writer/editor as well as help pitch new ideas for wherever new ideas are in need of being pitched (for example, adding original information to unfinished chapters). I'm also really good looking.

11. Additional comments you'd like to add

Did I mention I'm really good looking?

Welcome to the staff CB! I wasn't sure if we should hire you but you sold me with this...

Did I mention I'm really good looking?

1. Are you interested in working full time or part time on this project?
Either way, I'll have articles and writings to submit


2. Are you a good editor?
I wouldn't say I have a great amount of work to show for it but I produce a lot of journalistic photography for my photography course and next year I'll be taking an English A-Level and after that, a course documentory journalism.


3. Are you a good writer?
A similar answer for the first would go here


4. Is organization one of your strong suits?
Once I have it all brainstormed, I'm an ace.


5. List any prior experience you may have had regarding working on a book.
Writing stories and documentations on my photojournalism work.


6. Is lucid dreaming a strong suit of yours?
A Royal Flush, especially in terms of my interest in it.


7. Are you good at brainstorming? Or do you tend to set off fire alarms...
I'm very good at brainstorming, I can slip into highly refined detail upon many topics.


8. Do you remain current on lucid dreaming studies and new information regarding the subject in general?
Probably my biggest forté, I base my opinions, beliefs and sometimes choices on a visionary level.
My friend Daniel and I have visionary-discussion nights (sometimes the whole night through) bantering ideas and theories, from visions upon topics such as art, community and government, lucid dreaming and astral projection, the mind and drugs, existence and the universe. I have many indevidual surreal ideas which are understandable, believable and yet realistic.

9. Is graphic designing a strong suit of yours? I wouldn't say I'm strong at graphic design, but I'm not too bad, I'm very good at photoediting.

10. What do you feel you could bring to the table on this project? How do you feel you'll be of most help?
Brainstorming and organization- I believe I can bring to light many fabulous subjects to write about, I know "where to put the grease" to make things work perfectly.

Writing theoretical components to sections- what you would call the "Beyond Dreaming" forum, here.
I am brilliant at understanding the effects of concepts, I know just how well something will work.

Other: I could throw in a few off-topic sections, such as various different adaptations of lucid dreaming and displaying how it can be used in dealing with unrelated topics such as underground-movements and revolution.


11. Additional comments you'd like to add
There would be no loss at all in taking on a visionary who could work wonders upon a project.

1. Are you interested in working full time or part time on this project? (Full time would be like 1 hr. a day, part time would be anything less than that)
I can work full time most days.

2. Are you a good editor? (Please link some of your work if possible)
I've never done professional editing but i'm the person everyone goes to to check their spelling and grammar.

3. Are you a good writer? (Please link some of your work if possible)
Just like editing i've never gotten my writing published but i do write short stories and novels in my free time.

4. Is organization one of your strong suits? (In terms of content, chapters etc.)
I don't organize well.

5. List any prior experience you may have had regarding working on a book
I've written two fantasy novels.

6. Is lucid dreaming a strong suit of yours?
Yup! i'm a natural.

7. Are you good at brainstorming? Or do you tend to set off fire alarms...
I brainstorm best in a group.

8. Do you remain current on lucid dreaming studies and new information regarding the subject in general? (If so, please give a brief explanation)
No, i don't keep up with the news.

9. Is graphic designing a strong suit of yours? (please list examples if applicable)
No, but i have taken a computer graphics class so i can do simple things on photoshop and illustrator.

10. What do you feel you could bring to the table on this project? How do you feel you'll be of most help?
I can edit and i can give information on lucid and non-lucid dreaming.

11. Additional comments you'd like to add
I like working on books? lol

1. Are you interested in working full time or part time on this project? (Full time would be like 1 hr. a day, part time would be anything less than that)

I am willing to lend my efforts when needed.

2. Are you a good editor? (Please link some of your work if possible)

I am indeed.

3. Are you a good writer? (Please link some of your work if possible)

This is the only online sample that I can provide. I usually tend to receive positive feedback from people regarding my writing.

4. Is organization one of your strong suits? (In terms of content, chapters etc.)

Not a strong suit, but not a weak one either. My organizational skills are moderate.

5. List any prior experience you may have had regarding working on a book

Unless you count the poetry book I was required to write in fourth grade, I've got zip.

6. Is lucid dreaming a strong suit of yours?

Not as much as I'd like it to be. I have knowledge of quite a few of the lucid dreaming techniques, but not the experience or calibration to do it well or offer advice.

7. Are you good at brainstorming? Or do you tend to set off fire alarms...

I am good at brainstorming when brainstorming is the goal. If anything, I have problems with people telling me how impossible my ideas are (which violates the goal of brainstorming).

8. Do you remain current on lucid dreaming studies and new information regarding the subject in general? (If so, please give a brief explanation)

Not so much.

9. Is graphic designing a strong suit of yours? (please list examples if applicable)

Nope, not one bit.

10. What do you feel you could bring to the table on this project? How do you feel you'll be of most help?

Revising and editing is primarily how I'd like to contribute. I'm really good at catching mistakes and thinking of ways I can best improve sentence structure/paragraph organization. Though I do regard myself as a proficient writer for my age, I do not believe I am right for writing of more advanced Lucid Dreaming subjects based solely on my standing knowledge. However, I do believe I can lend my writing hand if a proficient lucid dreamer who lacks writing skills gives me the information to turn into a piece of literature.

Welcome to the staff ray and Black_Eagle!! You've been assigned to departments and may view which ones HERE.

None.

6. Is lucid dreaming a strong suit of yours?

I'm not usually the one with the sudden brilliant idea, but ideas form from the ground up.

Not really. I pick up something here and there, but that's it.

Yes.

lol

1.Are you interested in working full time or part time on this project?

~Full Time

2. Are you a good editor?

~Yes

3. Are you a good writer?

~Yes

4. Is organization one of your strong suits?

~Meh, I could help with the little things but not the big things.

5. List any prior experience you may have had regarding working on a book.

~Not really a book but I have experience at writing stories for school for over 5 years. Also write a few times outside of school.

6. Is lucid dreaming a strong suit of yours?

~Not lately as I have been slacking but I’m getting back into the groove of things . Usually I’m ok but there are a lot of people on this site better than me.

7. Are you good at brainstorming? Or do you tend to set off fire alarms...

~Depends on the subject.

8. Do you remain current on lucid dreaming studies and new information regarding the subject in general?

~Not lately but getting back to it.

9. Is graphic designing a strong suit of yours?

~Nope

10. What do you feel you could bring to the table on this project? How do you feel you'll be of most help?

~I have good writing experience with stories and as such. I’m very interested in lucid dreaming so I would be quite active on this book.

11. Additional comments you'd like to add

~I’ve been on this site for awhile but not done much team wise; I’d like to change that. I’m on summer holidays for the next 6 weeks so I’ll have a lot of time on my hands.

i posted this in the other thread, so just to be sure it gets seen, i'm posting it here, also.

full time in the summer, part time when i am at school in the fall and spring

2. beyond reading over things to check for errors, no. i do have experience working as an editor for a high school publication (that was a while ago)

3. i don't consider myself a writer, but i do write often. I think of myself as articulate enough to get my idea down in words.

4. YES

5. i am working on my own picture book for my illustration major as we speak. so that covers organization (layout/graphic design), illustration (artwork), writing, and binding the book itself. among other things. the book is solely my own project.

6.no, i am working on that.

7. Or do you tend to just set off fire alarms...
both. when i am thinking about projects i tend to have too many ideas at once. when working in groups it is a little overwhelming for teammates sometimes.

8. i can't say i keep current on scientific developments of dreaming. but i keep current with theories and ideas about dreaming, what dreaming means to people, culturally and individually

9. i guess it comes with the business. i am not a graphic design major, but i will be able to help design a solid layout that is both informative and able to keep the reader interested. working on picture books has helped with this. while i would leave most of the design to graphic designers, i can provide GOOD supplementary illustrations. (and hey, everyone loves illustrations, right?) I am really good at critiquing, i know how to make already good designs even better. i have some work here, its not my best.. but you can see it: http://soulsadriftx.carbonmade.com/

10. artwork (design and illustration), writing and specific topics, and book construction/design.

11.
you can be sure that this would be a passionate undertaking for me. i love art, i love dreaming, and i love dreamviews for what it has provided to the dreaming community. i want to give something back to this place.

1. Are you interested in working full time or part time on this project? (Full time would be like 1 hr. a day, part time would be anything less than that)
Part time.

2. Are you a good editor? (Please link some of your work if possible)
Good, just average I'd say.

3. Are you a good writer? (Please link some of your work if possible)
Don't think so.

4. Is organization one of your strong suits? (In terms of content, chapters etc.)
Definitely.

5. List any prior experience you may have had regarding working on a book
Worked on a newsletter, write stories sometimes.

6. Is lucid dreaming a strong suit of yours?
Yes.

7. Are you good at brainstorming? Or do you tend to set off fire alarms...
Average.

8. Do you remain current on lucid dreaming studies and new information regarding the subject in general? (If so, please give a brief explanation)
No.

9. Is graphic designing a strong suit of yours? (please list examples if applicable)
I use photoshop for photography and digital art here and there. But that's it, I don't do anything from scratch. Retouching and general editing I can do.

10. What do you feel you could bring to the table on this project? How do you feel you'll be of most help?
I'd love to work on organization and such.

11. Additional comments you'd like to add
If you guys need any kind of editing done to images, I'm up for the job. It seems like we have far better-experienced graphic artists, however.

As said before, I would like to help with organization.

Bump. Still Hiring.

Hello.

I would like to offer some of my time possibly writing a chatper/section on consciously lucidly controlling visions using advanced lucid techniques including programatic lucidity (actual logical programs) applied to invoked objects.

Also I have alot of surreal digital art that could also possibly be used...see this post: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...46#post1133346

Let me know if there's any interest.
