3) Lucid Clairvoyance: The Flying Carpet The Flying Carpet is a decoupage of pieces of cloth material which hangs on a wall in my home. The background is a large, light-blue and white sheet, printed to look like the clouds of a summer sky. Along the bottom edge is a landscape of forest, lakes, animals. A castle-like villa sits atop a grassy hill. The Carpet was originally a 2-part costume that won a prize for "Most Colorful" at the 1988 ASD Conference. Half of the costume was worn by myself; the other half by Jill Gregory. When we stood together and held out our arms to reveal the full picture, we combined forces to form a graphic representation of a "mutual dream." The Flying Carpet staged a comeback at the 1996 ASD conference. Both pieces were pinned to a wall in the Communal Room where it served as the backdrop for dreams posted by conference attendees. Ahead of time, folks at a distance intentionally incubated Flying Carpet dreams, although they did not know what the Carpet looked like. Early that year, Lucky wrote me this e-mail message: On February 12, the following short dream came to me:
I thought this might be a good entry for the Flying Carpet mural. The paintings on the steps, as well as the painting through the doorway (all in the same style and similar colors) gave the scene somewhat of a surreal appearance. I am sending you a quick sketch in the regular mail today. After I received Lucky's colored sketch, I took one look at her picture and thought, "Oh, my gosh, she's dreamt the Flying Carpet!" I told her, "The wall hanging is located directly above the stairs leading to the second floor. The section of the Flying Carpet you drew, I can just see through my bedroom doorway. Congratulations!" I noticed one difference between Lucky's picture and the Flying Carpet: the "road" that she sketched is actually a brown fence next to the meadow on the mural. But the shape is exactly the same.
