IASD LAUNCHES YOUTUBE
CHANNEL
This month there's something new from IASD online!
Four stunning videos, created by Tamara Gurbis of Phenomenal
Films will open the IASD YouTube
Channel . Click on the link to find YouTube videos of IASD greats
Patricia Garfield, Stephen LaBerge, Robert J. Hoss, and Mark
Blagrove speaking on dreams, consciousness, and IASD itself. Thanks to
Tamara and to IASD webmaster Richard Wilkerson
for bringing us this exciting new IASD feature.
Although there are several videos currently available on the IASD YouTube
Channel, we will be "branding the channel" over the next few months: customizing
the background; adding video content; and possibly adding a Google Moderator,
which solicits ideas and questions on any topic from viewers and the channel's
community.
For the purpose of testing out the popularity of this new channel--which will
offer only top-quality information on video about dreams--we request that when
you visit the IASD YouTube Channel, you take a moment to subscribe to the
channel by clicking on the Subscribe link. And we also request that you SHARE
IASD's YouTube Channel with your friends.
Together we can promote dream education in the true spirit of IASD.

DREAM NEWS CREATIVE CORNER
Some Questions You
Might Ask After Mary Oliver
By Tzivia Gover
What if this is the dream
and real life happens when you’re asleep?
Why do I remember so many dreams each night
but I can’t remember where I left my keys?
Why don’t I have dreams in which I meet Salome
and find ancient skulls in crypt-like depths, as Jung did?
Instead I dream of searching — night after night –
for a bathroom stall with a clean seat.
Why do people always ask if I dream in color?
And what do dolphins dream about?
What if Freud was right?
How many other people’s dreams have I appeared in?
And what was I wearing?
When you reach Nirvana, do you still dream?
And why is it called a nightmare
and not a nightstallion — or steed?
What if the dream needs
the dreamer the way God need our prayers?
And did you have a good night’s sleep?
Tell me, what did you dream?

CALL FOR PAPERS:
EDUCATION TRACK
IASD members, Curt Hoffman and Jacquie Lewis are now accepting chapter proposals
for a book on dreams and education. The working title is Weaving Dreams into the
Classroom: Dreaming in Education. The emphasis of the book will be to encourage
educators, at all levels, to integrate dreams and dreamwork into their
coursework.
They encourage dream educators, from elementary through college, to submit a
chapter abstract on how dreams are integrated into their course(s). Dream
studies chapters from practically any academic field will be considered.
Please submit a chapter abstract and a brief bio by July 15, 2010 to Curt
Hoffman at teximus@comcast.net Please also distribute this call for chapters to
other dream educators who may be interested. Once a book outline is established
a publisher will be pursued. For questions please contact Curt.
ATTENTION: 2010
CONFERENCE RESEARCH TRACK PRESENTERS
This year IASD will try out something that has not been done before, and that is
the publication of Research Track abstracts in the International Journal of
Dream Research, Supplemental Issue. Research Track abstracts include Regular
talks, Symposia talks, Hot-off-the-Press talks, and Poster presentations.
Presenters in other tracks: In the future, we plan to publish all IASD
conference abstracts, but this year due to time constraints we had to settle for
research track abstracts. Thus, the following instructions apply only to
Research Track presenters.
The publication will take place AFTER the North Carolina conference, for the
following reasons: As we were still working with the publication idea and
practical aspects at the time of abstract submission, many of you might want to
revise your abstract before publication, or even decline the opportunity to
publish. Also, the journal would like to see abstracts between 250-500 words, so
if your abstract does not fit into these limits, you have time to modify it. In
addition, we want to remind you to be aware that your abstract should not
contain details that might conflict with your plans to publish an original
article elsewhere as some Journals are restrictive.
What do you need to do now?
1. Check your abstract, and modify it according to the above instructions (word
count max 500 words; and check for details)
2. If your abstract is publishable as such, and needs no modification, inform
Katja Valli: katval@utu.fi
and she will forward your abstract to the editors of IJoDR
3. If your abstract does require modification, make the changes and send the new
abstract to Katja:
katval@utu.fi and she will forward your modified abstract to
the editors of IJoDR
4. If you do not want your abstract to be published, inform Katja:
katval@utu.fi
and she will not forward your abstract to the editors of IJoDR
The absolute DEADLINE for sending in your decision to publish, and/or your
modified abstract is 16th of JULY. After that, the abstract will not get
published!
On behalf of the publication
team,
Katja Valli

The 2010 Board candidates are as follows:
SUSAN BENSON, Ph.D. (AUSTRALIA)
 I have been a member of IASD for over 10 years. I attended my first IASD
conference in 2000 in Washington DC. Since then I have attended conferences in
Berkeley, Montreal and Chicago, and presented at both Montreal and Chicago. I
took up the role of IASD Regional Representative for Australia in 2006.
My association with IASD has been personally and professionally enriching. I
have found the increasing capacity of IASD to function as an international hub
for exchange of information, knowledge, research and education to be exciting.
If chosen to be on the Board, my focus would be on expanding opportunities for
regional contact. I am also interested in training and standards of
certification for dreamwork.
My own background as academic, researcher and counselor is multi-layered, as is
IASD. I have served at senior management level in a national academic research
centre, as well as fulfilled a leadership role for several not-for-profit
community groups. In my current work as educator, researcher, writer, I am
passionate about exploring creative processes through dreams, stories, myths and
imagery.
________________________________________
RYAN HURD (USA)
I am a dream educator living in California, and author of "Sleep Paralysis: A
Dreamer's Guide." I also am the founder and editor of DreamStudies.org, a
consciousness studies portal. My research interests can be found in a heap at
the intersection of anthropology, ecology, and spirituality. I have a MA in
Consciousness Studies from John F. Kennedy University (2008), and a BA in
Anthropology (1998).
I've been a member of the IASD since 2004. Since then, I've attended every
annual conference, and presented at most as well. For the last two years I have
served as the Cultural Track Chair for the Conference Committee. I'm excited for
the chance to serve the IASD.
If elected, I can employ my knowledge of Internet marketing and technology
trends to help with expanding our reach globally. Mostly I intend to listen to
our members, who have a complex array of needs and hopes for the IASD's future.
________________________________________
BARBARA ROUKEMA-KONING, Ph.D. (NETHERLANDS)
I have been working for 21 years as an assistant professor in the field of
Psychology of Religion. In 2008 I quit my job in order to become a student at
the Haden Institute (North Carolina, US) for their course in Jungian Psychology
called Dream Leadership Training. I recently got my certificate there. It is my
next aim to develop programs for dream groups with some target groups, maybe
Spiritual Directors, married (or long term) couples, and/or chronically ill
people.
I became a member of IASD in fall 2006. As an active member of the Dutch
Association for the Study of Dreams (VSD) I can contribute to IASD's worldwide
mission in several ways. At this moment I am the Chair of the Editorial Board of
the Dutch quarterly Dream Journal and also I was elected, in November 2009, as
the President of VSD. In the current Board of the VSD we highly value the
importance of IASD for all our Dream Work in the Netherlands. We strive to make
the relationship between the two organizations as vital and fruitful as
possible. Recently the IASD ethics statement was translated, which we will offer
to our members and after their agreement will be put on our website. Also
members of the Board (myself included), are hosting the 2011 IASD-conference in
our country. I hope to keep on learning more about IASD in order to perform my
duties as a Board member well and to assist IASD's mission.

MOHAMED OMAR SALEM, M.D.
(UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, UAE)
I am an assistant professor in psychiatry, researcher and clinician at the
Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences of the United Arab Emirates University. So
far, I had 4 research projects on dreams and 2 review articles. In teaching, I
was able to introduce topics on dreams in the undergraduate curriculum of
psychiatry in our school of Medicine, and I am trying to promote it in the area.
My other interests include CBT, philosophical and cultural aspects of psychiatry
I joined IASD in 2007 and currently I am the Middle East Regional
Representative. I prepared the Arabic version of the Multilingual International
Gateway of IASD, and I contribute to the Annual Meetings regularly. In 2008 I
had a poster presentation and in 2009 I had an oral presentation for the hot off
the press section. This year I am presenting my 3rd research project. I have
been conducting regular regional workshops on the various aspects of dreams over
the last 3 years, covering Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Dubai, Al Ain, Abu Dhabi
and Bahrain. I was able to recruit some new membership from the area and from
outside. I am looking for extensive collaboration between IASD and across the
main academic Centers of the Middle East.
________________________________________
SCOTT SPARROW, Ed.D. (USA)
When I was 19, I had my first of many lucid "high" dreams. In 1974, I did my
master's thesis on lucid dreaming, and in 1983 I completed a doctoral
dissertation at William and Mary on using dream reliving as a lucid dream
induction strategy. In between, I wrote Lucid Dreaming: Dawning of the Clear
Light (A.R.E., 1976), which explores the spiritual dimensions of lucid dreaming.
After becoming licensed in 1982, I began to develop the Five Star Method. I have
just coauthored a paper on this method (J. of Creativity in Mental Health, in
press). As a professor, I incorporate dream work training into all of my
graduate counseling courses. I have recently founded DreamStar Institute, which
offers certification in dream analysis, and I am currently exploring dream
reliving and middle-of-the-night meditation as a treatment for distressing
nightmares.
I became a member of IASD in 2006 in time to attend my first annual symposium.
Since then, I have presented seven workshops/presentations at IASD annual
conferences, and one paper at the 2009 IASD PsiberDreaming Conference.
I am deeply interested in the mission and continuing work of the IASD. I believe
it is the only organization truly devoted to a multidisciplinary study of
dreams. Consequently, IASD offers its members an array of cross-fertilizing
influences, the sum total of which conveys a sense of true community to those
who are willing to acknowledge that dreams are much bigger than any theory or
method.
________________________________________
MISA TSURUTA (JAPAN)
I joined IASD in 2004 that coincided with the year I entered the doctoral
program in clinical psychology at the New School for Social Research in New
York. My first conference was in Copenhagen where I came to appreciate this
open, warm, and welcoming community.
Since then, I presented at international conferences and regional conferences.
The themes I presented include dreaming in Japan, dance/movement and dreams, and
pregnancy dreams. Currently I work as a counselor and a dance teacher in Tokyo.
At IASD I am involved in Global Advisory Committee, Educational Committee, and
Research Committee and am a reviewer of Cultural/Anthropological Track of the
Asheville 2010 conference. My recent focus is to establish a local dreamers'
community n Japan. I would like to contribute to international promotion of
IASD.
________________________________________
KATJA VALLI, Ph.D. (FINLAND)
 I started to conduct dream research in the late 90's, I'm currently working as a
post-doctoral researcher investigating the neural correlates of dream
consciousness. My main research interests are the biological function of sleep
and dreaming, alterations of dream consciousness in different sleep disorders,
and dream content in general, and have published several internationally
peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on these topics. I also review papers
for for several international journals, such as Dreaming and Consciousness and
Cognition, and I'm a consulting editor for the International Journal of Dream
Research.
I attended my first IASD conference in 2000 as a presenter, and became a member
a few years later. Since then, I have attended almost every annual international
conference, and a couple of regionals. Due to my experience in research, I have
been a member of the Research Grant Committee for the past three years. For the
last three years, I have also served as a Board member.
In developing IASD functions, my largest interests lie in drawing scientists and
researchers to IASD, and in building a bridge between research and other
approaches to dreaming. Thus far, the steps taken towards reaching these goals
include reviving the IASD Research Committee, and serving as a Chair of the
committee. If I am re-elected, I will continue these activities, and learn more
about how things work in IASD in order to perform my duties as a Board member as
well as possible.
