most recent of which, The Garden of Daisies and Foxglove, will be
available at the conference.

Dream Travel – Music for
Consciousness-Traveling
Explore the use of music in deepening
our dream explorations. Together, let us discover how music can be
used for "wakeful dreaming" and how it can also be used to optimize
dreams during sleep. Come join us for an experiential journey as we
undertake some vivid "wakeful dreaming" to music!
Iasos began working with
higher-dimensional music in 1967, which he then referred to as
"paradise music" because he felt it would have an uplifting,
spiritually invigorating, healing and harmonizing effect on listeners.
Iasos is one of the original founders of "New Age" music and
specializes in celestial and healing music.
Energizing Your Dreams With
Tai Chi
Monday afternoon, June 30
Come explore Tai Chi and how its
practice can lead to understanding and actualizing our dreams. We will
practice a simple yet powerful method for clearing the mind in
preparation of dreaming. Learn how to reduce stress and increase the
body's sensitivity to subtle energies so that we can interpret our
dream messages. Discover how to maximize your vitality so you can
manifest your dream.
Starfire, Ph.D. has been teaching Tai
Chi at the University of California at Berkeley since 1996. In
addition to martial arts, he also teaches a scientific system of
healing that balances the body's energy field. He has taught doctors,
dentists, psychotherapists, chiropractors, and body workers at
colleges, community centers, and schools in Hawaii and California.
20th Anniversary Auction
Monday evening, June 30
To celebrate 20 years of dreaming, the
Association is once-again staging our ever-popular auction. Look to

cause and Association dear to us all. Come prepared to bid on never
before dreamt of items in both the silent and live auction.
Dream Ball

The conference concludes with the ever
popular, and now traditional, Dream Ball. Come dressed as your
favorite dream character and prepare to share an evening filled with
the unexpected. Who knows – perhaps you will be the best Freudian
dream character?
