      Sourcing Dream Views

      Ok so I'm working on a paper for college and it's about lucid dreaming, and I wanna cite some information from dreamviews.com in MLA format, but I'm having a hard time finding the author of the site and stuff... can anyone help me out? My paper is due in the next couple of days and if I do not cite correctly I could suffer many graded points.

      first post by the way

      Well, I know originally the website was launched by IceDawg but I am not so sure how much of the content has been changed.
      I'm sure it would be fine to just take information and credit the website, or if you are using information from forum topics credit the author of the topic or their source.

      IceDawg built and wrote everything originally.

      You should be able to cite Dreamviews, but while IceDawg wrote everything it is now owned and run by Alex. So you'd need to consult with him.

      The only other problem is Dreamviews is not a recognized institution. It is, in the very, very, loosest definition of the term, a 'fan site.'

      Seriously? I never remember having to contact a site owner just to use their information.

      I only say that because, to be honest, I'm unsure what kind of commercial position Dreamviews is in right now and what rights Alex claims to this site. Also it may be under different restrictions as it is not an officially recognized institution.

      That's the only reason I say contact Alex first in this case.

      I didn't mean it that way.

      Although interesting point. However, if you take information than rewrite it or reuse it to make it your own, surely it wouldn't matter?
