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 Collective on YouTube

The Collective on Break.com
The Vampyre Lounge

 

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. Please contact us for more details at: The Dark Nations Splash Page on MySpace

Spotlight on:

The Rousing Chimera

The Dreaming Festival, celebrated on November 17th, it is a day the House of the Dreaming membership celebrates and honors the Ancients that guided the house together under one Honor, one Family, and one Dream. On this day the Family remembers Sophocles, born November 17th, 495 BC, a master scholar; and August Ferdinand Mobius, born November 17th 1790, whose Mobius Strip the House has adopted into the Household rings that mark Initiation and Ascensions.

 

Of Goals and Milestones

Selfish

by Lady Aislin (c)2002

I pace the night endlessly searching for something
that I can not find
overturning stones
throwing the clouds away
I wander throughout the land
and over the seas
a thin scarlet mist
waiting for the one thing
that will give my heart rest
my mind an over time bloom
budding with things to say
my lips will never speak
through one century
and another I return
flying from one life to another
a soul less journey
under a velvet cloak of night
to retrieve
something stolen away
beneath the roses
black petals glistening
over the cypress
and through the moss
I roam through the marble
cities consecrated to nothing
but emptiness
and alone I search still
for the one thing that
I've lost only to find
it will never return
