The latest news from Naked Dreams





What a strange and wonderful world Second Life can be! I have been asked to update what's been going on at Naked Dreams and I am only too happy to report a lot is the answer!

Before I go on to let you all know about the improvements, I want to openly invite you to Naked Dreams. This Island is your Island, it's for Naturists who love peace and harmony. It's for Eden residents to enjoy, bring their friends and love all the amenities the island has to offer.

Many an Eden sailor has dropped anchor in the crystal clear lagoon or pulled up along many of its very boating friendly waterways.

 I am so proud of the Eden Estate and its residents. You would find it hard to get a better crew anywhere. Owners Elbag and Brenda, backed by its very capable staff, offer a myriad of Islands to explore all in tropical beauty and lush tranquillity. It was in this light that I was asked to build Naked Dreams. A glimpse back in time to a sim many naturists enjoyed in SL many years ago. An open and free Island offered in good faith to treasure and enjoy.

Now onto the improvements...  I have always tried to use the almost unlimited potential of building in SL and blend that with a reality so that as you walk the leafy palm frond laden pathways of the Island, you really get the feeling you are actually there. 

Around a year ago, I finally achieved what I had strived for over so many years and that was to have every building and structure on the Island actually made by myself. You wont see any purchased buildings on Naked Dreams!

In my past Islands I always loved having some secret spots hidden in the build. Naked Dreams is no different. There are many places you will find very un-expectantly. Try walking behind the altar in the Church. Some careful exploring will lead you to a giant crypt and an even smaller one under there. Trapdoors, built in tp's and secret panels are the order of the day. If you persevere it will lead you to the secret tunnels!

 

Probably still one of the most surprising finds will be the Merfolk friendly Underwater room and looped viewing tube. Simply touch the low wall on the stone wharf on the southside of the island to get in. A simple touch to the glass wall delivers you safely to the wharf again! A little exploring there and you might even find the secret tunnels that join the crypt buildings and Church. Its all up to you! Don't stop looking though, there are some beautiful discrete areas on Naked Dreams to simply hug and kiss your lover!



SL is people. People using their imagination and skills to deliver our 'second' life.  The human mind is very inventive and you must remain open to change knowing its more definite than anything else. Imagine my surprise when I had a beautiful ND resident challenge my way of building. With help from her, I have been able to save so many prims in the new mesh structures and featured builds on the island. What a challenge for me to learn how to use Blender! However, this has meant I can place even more amenities all over the Island.


You can now do all these things in no particular order. Skydive from the ND platform and landing target. Windsurf, Kiteboard, Kayak on a single or double Kayak, Row a boat. Swim. Surf on a surfboard. Fly a free Helicopter. Hang glide. Climb up and down Trees. Walk the Tight Rope. Cliff dive and bridge dive into the Naked Dreams gorge. Have a massage in the Naked Dreams massage hut or a Spa in the ND Skydome. Dance on one of two Intans. Catch a sail boat from Eden Natropolis. Have a shower with your lover under the massive waterfalls that grace the Eastern shoreline or just lay back on the many beach towels and beach furniture items spread all over the Island. You can even rez your own sailing craft or Powerboat on the Island.

The most exciting part is the announcement of two new experiences on Naked Dreams. There is now two new rezzers on the observation jetty near the misty lake Tiki Hut. One produces an almost clear bubble for you and your partner to fly in. It travels slowly so great views of the island can be taken in.


 

The other is a custom made Naked Dreams Parasail rezzer. One touch produces a rideable parasail flyer that is very steady over sim crossings, in fact you can sail right across the entire group of Eden Islands in quiet floating naked bliss! 

 

I am so proud of my involvement with the Eden group. I am thrilled to see the Islands grow and invite you to join with us. Simply visit Natropolis to join the Eden group. 

Please come and visit. The Island was made with love and peace for all to enjoy!

I hope to one day see you join me on Naked Dreams where all your dreams just might come true!

Love and peace   xoxoxoxo

Hello Everyone.




Well... So long between posts!



I saw one I did, sixteen months ago, very pessimistic, saying I might not be here in 2013! Well, not only am I still here but SL has never been better for me...

I guess miracles can happen!



I have been loving the boating in sl. Either Motor boat or crewing on sailing ships. Eden has so many Islands and the fact that its joined to the Fruit Islands makes for some wonderful day trips.. It would be difficult to find a much more beautiful array of Islands flung like jewels across the sea than the Eden and Fruit Islands group..



As for me, I have been busy and a lot has happened at Naked Dreams of late. There's a new Crypt and lower chamber under the Church! it is a little more adult than the surface though and very hard to get into. Ask me if you need a hint to drop in!



There's the new Tiki Hut I made and nearby the trippy tunnel. Just dive off the long bridge to Misty lake.



I also made a new addition to the island last night. It's in the Underwater chamber. It is an observation tube surrounding the reef. Please check it out and tell your friends if you like it! The sea life is abundant and the reef is beautiful.



I am now proud to say that every building on Naked Dreams has been made by myself. No purchased buildings just plonked down here. This is rare in SL and I am very proud of that fact.



I have to say, I giggle when someone tells me how good a sim is only for me to visit and find it little more that a used car lot of used buildings.



The best thing about Naked Dreams these days though is the people. We have so many drop in from all over the r/l world and the visits have grown to surpass many other sims. I have never advertised Naked Dreams in search, so this also makes me very proud that people drop in to visit us and stay with us by word of mouth alone.



Finally, congratulations to all the naturist sim owners who have battled on. A few have gone, maybe never to return. To all those who have dug in and still offer beautiful places for all of us to enjoy, well, heres cheers to you!



I am also proud that we all live and visit here in our 'second' life with such love and happiness.



Thank you to all who live and visit here!

Love and peace to you all!!



Teresa...
