What do Dreamers do on the Peace Bridge?
20
We discuss our dreams.
21
We listen to information in our dreams.
22
Sometimes we dream together or share dreams.
23
Always we listen for messages of Peace
24
Or how we can work toward Peace
25
Sometimes we discuss politics
26
Or events making news
27
Or how the news is reported differently in
different parts of the world
28
And we try to honor the dream.
29
We are building a global community.

World Dreams Peace Bridge Projects
31
Because of their willingness to follow their
dreams
32
Members of The World Dreams Peace Bridge have
dreamed projects Into waking reality.
33
The Peace Train Project comes directly from a
dream.
34
Jeremy Seligson lives in South Korea. On July
26, 2002, Jeremy dreamed he was riding on a Peace
Train, traveling across the USA.
35
What would happen, he wondered, if people began
to make trains and send their ideas of Peace
around the world?
36
The Peace Train began to travel.
37
First children in Australia sent a train to Maine

from Australia.  In addition to Peace Train
cars, the package contained a toy Lorikeet, with
a notebook to record his adventures riding the
Peace Train.
