The News of the Dreamworld [NEWSPAPER]

**Loaf** · 12-18-2011 06:07 AM

We deny we have ever phone hacked your dream mobiles using telekinesis.

So what is it?

The News of the Dreamworld is a pseudo newspaper with fictional stories entirely based on the real dreams of everyday people just like you!

Inspired by logs from online dream journals, this novelty e-paper depicts the dreamworld as a physical place that everyone shares. Currently it is exclusively based upon Dreamviews dream journals.

How it works!

First we check all the new dream journal updates of the day. Then we take dreams we like and write journalistic reports on them, using the details you write about. We then add an extra layer of fictional information to bulk out the content and present it as a real event that occurred in the 'dreamworld' which is written about like a real place which we all co-exist in.

The benefits of reading...

We Promote your Dream Journal
Your dreams are amazing. And we want to salute you for spending each day painstakingly writing them down. So each time we turn your dreams into fictional news stories, we post a link to your dream journal and the entry we were inspired by at the very bottom of the page. If readers like what they see, they can subscribe to your daily logs. Whats more, we even highlight two great dream journals each issue!

Its Surreal
We aren't just reading your dreams. We are making you feel like we were in them.
Open up our newspaper and read about the events you just saw in your dreams. Hear the accounts of "people" that witnessed it alongside you. Read about what happened after you woke up.
We make dream events feel like real events. The world you witnessed was not just in your head. Its as if you just saw real history take place.

We Motivate You
Dream journals get less attention then they deserve. We honor your work. And we hope that our paper will motivate you to keep posting, because chances are, we will find one of your dreams and turn it into a story that will not only entertain you, but will entertain many future readers.

Its Just Fun
Its a fun, novelty piece of material to keep you entertained. Try the word search at the back if you are bored. And marvel at some of the strange and scary things people dream up!

This is amazing, Loaf. Lol. I absolutely love this idea. Not sure how much I would be able to put into it, but I'd like to help the project along in the future, if possible.

Creative thinking, as usual, man. Kuddos.

I do love how reading these stories actually makes me want to read the dream entries for context.

**Naiya** · 12-18-2011 06:49 AM

This sounds really fun.

I'll have to look through my DJ and see if I can find anything that might be newsworthy.

**Kitties** · 12-18-2011 07:26 AM

Hahaha omg my trains! This is such a cool idea and the articles are great, I'd love to see more.

**Emiko** · 12-18-2011 07:36 AM

This is SO COOL!! It makes me want to write more journal entries! I'll be sending you a PM if I find something 'newsworthy' in my existing entries.

**dreamerJon23** · 12-18-2011 08:18 AM

Really wonderful idea Loaf, this looks fun to read!

**Mzzkc** · 12-18-2011 09:07 AM

You always produce the coolest things.

The 'flying help' ad + testimonial was hilarious, btw.

This definitely makes me want to start taking better care of my DJ, as I've been neglecting it pretty hard lately. =P

Could have fooled me.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Just to add, this will probably be bi-weekly (no more than two issues a month).

**Dark_Merlin** · 12-18-2011 01:01 PM

Absolutely brilliant! I had a good laugh reading this - I look forward to more

**ShadowOfSelf** · 12-18-2011 02:05 PM

Lol! Amazing idea! Makes me want to post old entries just to get featured! Keep it up!

**superchaz** · 12-19-2011 02:44 AM

Absolutely brilliant/ I loved the section on my drema about the humanoids.

Keep it up Loaf!

**Anukramet** · 12-19-2011 03:21 AM

this is awesome! keep up the good work

**MissLucy** · 12-19-2011 11:21 AM

Awesome! I'll be reading future issues too!

**TheForgotten** · 12-19-2011 12:38 PM

Hahahahaha, I love the paper! Hilarious summary of all the great stuff that goes on. I laughed when I saw the 'Lady Gaga spotted on a beach' bit. Very nice.

**JesterKK** · 12-19-2011 12:59 PM

great idea

**DAD** · 12-19-2011 08:15 PM

Kewl!

**Oreo** · 12-19-2011 09:16 PM

This is going to be some fun reading.

**DAD** · 12-20-2011 11:41 PM

I'm gonna try that train game in a lucid if I ever happen to be near one during a lucid or can summon one and some tracks.

**Loaf** · 12-21-2011 08:14 AM

Just an update: the web address was a little broken, if you typed the address without the "www." prefix it would take you to a domain parking page. It should automatically fix itself within the hour now I've made some settings changes.

Apologies.

**MatrixMaster92** · 12-21-2011 05:54 PM

Haha I got some good laughs out of that, great idea Loaf!

**JessieTea** · 12-23-2011 05:31 AM

I love this idea! I have found, Loaf, that we have very similar ideas when it comes to what to do with our dreams during our waking life. I loved your "dreamworld scientist" idea from a while back... I don't know, I guess we think similarly.

Anyways, this is inspiration for me to post my dreams! I keep track of them, but lately I haven't been doing it electronically. Now I want to show them off.

**Din** · 12-23-2011 06:15 AM

This is too great. Makes me want somebody to have a bizarre dream just to see what the article will say.
