    Thanks for your post, Tanya. Your ideas - and those of your colleagues in Russia - are welcome here. Your dreams are very interesting. It's fascinating to see what features of cyberspace become incorporated into the individual's dream consciousness. My guess is that the type of online environment we find most appealing (e-mail, newsgroups, text chat, visual chat, a/v conferencing, as well as other features of the software interface) rings true with some aspect of our thought process - including unconscious thought process. And so our dreams borrow that framework and integrate it into the dream. There may also be symbolic significance to the particular cyberspace elements that surface in dreams.
