Collaborative Projects:
The Collective
House of the Dreaming in conjunction with Vampyre Lounge and with the participation of the Vampyre Society at-large is hosting an exciting video program called the Collective. It features a series of interviews with various Modern Day Vampires, Community Leaders, and other individuals. Each interview will be designed to independently focus on specific topics of community interest. House of the Dreaming and Vampyre Lounge are non-partisan in our approach and hope to provide as many perspectives as possible from all angles of community interest. If you or someone you know is interested in being featured on The Collective, contact Herr Wulfsunus at Wufsunnus@yahoo.com The Collective Videos can be found at:
The Dark Nations
Dark Nations co-founded by Khan and Madame X is an exclusive collective of embassies and ambassadors gathered for the purpose of truthful information exchange, and project collaboration, intent on raising the bar on communication and conduct across the community at large. If you are part of a closed membership group that has an active core membership of three or more which has been active for over a year, and have a vested interest on improved communication and diplomatic community relations, you are welcome to join and establish an embassy at Dark Nations.

Of Goals and Milestones
Many Hearts, One Dream By Madame X
Abridged Revision ©2010 Original text ©2002
We of the Dreaming choose to live in harmonious co-existence among seekers of different spiritual paths, yet we are far from being utopian in the way that we do expect, nor strive, for the unity of truths under any one spiritual belief. Although noble in intent, we of The Dreaming have no interest in pluralism, universalism, inclusivism, we do not set out to proselytize any form of particularism, nor do we seek to declare any ultimate exclusive spiritual truth. We know there is at least one truth for each of us. These truths are gems we seek to discover in the wilderness and hope to apply them in our journeys so that we may further our understanding of our true nature and the beating of our own heart.
Our Family recognizes, respects and values the spiritual diversity of our membership to be a source of strength as we collectively, yet independently, reach out toward enlightened individuality.
We recognize, respect and value unique individuals and their rare gifts and talents; therefore our members are encouraged, distinguished and recognized for their uniqueness, service and study.
We recognize, respect and value the individual’s desire to explore past-life regression and, or the prevention of the ultimate death, yet neither study is required of our membership; our collective focus is placed on the experiences of this lifetime.
House of the Dreaming is a Family of Ronin, as such we believe in self-actualization, personal empowerment and the precious value of the Solitaire. Similarly, we believe in the enhanced power of group energy, the nurturing vitality of Family and the dynamic strength of sharing in the Dream. We have chosen to come together here as Family – one Family, one Honor, one Dream; yet we understand each of our hearts has its own special rhythm, each of us has a very specific energy signature, demeanor and drive. To deepen our understandings we choose to channel our innate talents as a vehicle toward in our journey. These are three roads: Kitra, Mradu and Ramkht. Often these roads overlap, juxtapose and parallel; where none outweigh or out-value the other. These can be perceived as each individual sees fit, either as permanent casts, service choices to the Family, or focused study paths.
Our Family encourages both the Nightside and Dayside development and blossoming of each of its members thru the nurturing of personal and interpersonal wisdom, self-reliance, mentorship, secrecy, dialogue, self-control and self-expression. Our way is one that honors and abides by the ethical principles outlined in our Veil of the Waking Dream. We feel that these bastions are essential toward personal fulfillment, meaning and awareness. Our Veil encourages us to become ascended individuals, to offer support to others and to strive toward the greater good.
The Dreaming recognize achievement and family bonds with celebration and solemn moments of focused group meditation. Our House Ceremonies are specifically crafted to appeal to the devout, the spiritual, the agnostic, as well as the non-religious. These are celebrations of our Family bonds, the individual, and of mutual respect. Should the celebrant choose to include visualizations of their particular spiritual path they are most welcome to, but such are not necessary requirements.
We are not for everyone, nor do we have an open door, in fact we are very selective and are proud of our exclusive tight-knit membership and low turn-around. Family is forever. Our formula is simple: “Come to us not to find yourself, but to better understand yourself.” Know thyself and the beating of your heart then, come to us to share in our dream.
