Online PsiberDreaming Conferences: 2002-2019
How the PDC Began
The PsiberDreaming Conference was not only the first online conference which explored psi or paranormal or extraordinary dream experiences; but was, in fact, the first online conference of any kind, running two weeks each year on a round-the-clock basis and starting in the days before social media, when the most exciting thing online was “dream circles” held by the Rev. Jeremy Taylor and his friend John Herbert in the “rooms” on (“You’ve Got Mail”) AOL.
In 2001, a group of IASD members, including the first PsiberDreaming Host Ed Kellogg, Rita Dwyer and me, noticed that there was very little talk in IASD about a subject which fascinated most of the people who came to the then-active IASD discussion forum: paranormal dreams. We decided to address that problem by creating a conference which would attract new members and be accessible to the organization’s international membership by making it a two-week, online conference. With the assistance of IASD’s Administrative Officer, Richard Wilkerson, we selected a then-new technology, a php discussion forum, and designed a place where a conference could be held online.
During the first few years, we experimented with the forum. There was a concern that if we had over seventy-five people using the forum we risked breakdowns. And in fact that was true. During those early years, there were times when the board could not handle the traffic. Posts would begin to multiply or disappear. Graphics would suddenly vanish, or other strange things would happen. Ultimately though, with perseverance and practice… not to mention improved technology… we were able to easily host the nearly 300 people who regularly attended the annual conference. READ MORE
