INSTALLATION HELP
Once you have downloaded the DreamulatorV2.exe to your computer, double click it or run it from your START Menu. It will install itself by default to C:\Dreamulator. If you wish to change this to a different Directory, do so at the time you extract it or copy all the files afterwards to whatever directory you wish.

If installation was done correctly you should have a directory on your C: drive (the default) now called Dreamulator, inside that directory is our Dreamscaping.exe Software, just double click on it to run it. (You should drag it out onto your desktop for more convenient execution of the program next time)

INSTALLING NEW DREAMSCAPES
If you decide to purchase more Dreamscapes at isleofwebs.com/dreamscaping you should download directly to your Dreamulator directory. Once you've got the new one double click on the Dreamscape (ie: Stampazonia.exe) and it will automatically install itself correctly into the Scapes directory where the Series collection is kept.

All Dreamscapes must be extracted (double clicked) from directly within the Dreamulator directory in order for it to install and show up correctly when you run Dreamscaping.exe If you have downloaded it to another directory by mistake simply copy and paste it into the Dreamulator Directory BEFORE extracting. (You can double check by ensuring that your new Dreamscape shows up inside the Dreamulator/Scapes directory.

If you purchased Stampazonia, a typical Installation should look like this:
_________________________________
C:\Dreamulator
      Scapes\
           Papinisland
           Stampazonia

Dreamscaping.exe (The Program to Double Click or Run)

NAVIGATING THE DREAMS
Very easy... Once you have launched the program and have entered the Dreamscape, there is a quick popup menu you can toggle on or off if you hit the SPACEBAR or a complete set of Docs under HELP when you hit F10 at any time.

Basically you generally make your way through the Dreamscapes by process of transformation. If you are flying and dive into a lake, you will transform into a fish, if you swim the fish (Right Arrow Key) towards the shore you will climb out and transform into a humanoid, if you then climb a high hill (Use F5/Return to Transport quickly to a targeted high point on the landscape) you can run off a cliff (Right Arrow Key) and transform back into a bird. Once you are a bird you can hit the F8 key to transform into a Terafractyl and hit F8 again to turn into a balloonist.

The fun and adventure is exploring the various perspectives, if you accelerate the clock forward in time (Hit the HOME key on your keyboard) the daylight ambiance will change dramatically from night to day with some very nice sunrises and sunsets!

By toggling F1 and F2 you will experience a first person perspective which is ideal when you are trying to target the F5 Transporter. F2 is ideal for seeing what form you have taken depending on your environmental conditions. A joystick is optimum for performance so be sure to use the MENU options F10 to set your Joystick option.

You can speed up the Simulation by hitting F4 or slow it down to a pause by hitting F3. We recommend Dreamtime 2,4 or 8 for best performance.

Probably the most enjoyable feature is the REMOTE CONTROL F7 which allows you to control your form like a remote controlled device, getting the form to approach you and fly away from you is really quite a challenge in 3D co-ordination.

Please enjoy these virtual experiences much as you would any journey where arriving somewhere is always preceded by interesting viewpoints and experiences along the way. This is not a game in the classic sense of the word but rather a simulated series of environments where you get a whole new wonderful sense of being in places you can only imagine.
