What are our dreams?
Our dreams are bubbling pots of ideas and inspiration. We take our desires, thoughts and will and mix them all up to become the final product. We try hard, or not. We focus on a destination, or not. There is no exact recipe to follow to get to our dreams. But there are some hints, some tidbits of wisdom, that can help us achieve our dreams.

These little gems of knowledge can be hidden in the simplest places. If you look at a flower and watch it grow it will tell you how things unfold perfectly, naturally every time. Perhaps not every petal will be formed as long as the others or a leaf will wither and die. But if you give it water and sun it will grow.

Wow what a ride so far! It’s hard to imagine how far we have come and how many things we have learned along the way. From just a seed of an idea to a social network beckoning it’s first community members, Dream Networks has taught us patience, perseverance and a plethora of other lessons.
We Couldn’t Have Done it Without Your Support
Dream Networks was built by many people working together and sharing their skills. Although this would not be without all of you, it would not even have come close without my business partner and brother, Jim Fenton, for all you are and do-thank you.
Sean Sheperd is the design genius behind our beautiful new internet community. He graciously volunteered much of his time, making it financially possible and leant his awesome creative flair to this project. The backbone and driving force of our site programming was headed up by Ryan Fugger. He also volunteered much time and effort assuring we could reach our goals within a budget. Thank you does not even seem a suitable phrase for the gratitude I feel for their incredible support of Dream ...
