If you have had such a dream please contact Eric at olsenedits@comcast.net, or 510.527.6384. DREAM STUDIES CERTIFICATE PROGRAM AT SAYBROOK GRADUATE SCHOOL Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center offers a Dream Studies Certificate giving students an understanding of dream research, practice, and personal meaning. The Certificate is designed to help students gain an understanding of important research about dreams and to implement that knowledge in order to accomplish personal and professional goals. Saybrook’s teaching approach encourages the student to explore personal interests and learn through experience as well as to come to an appreciation of research in the field. Each student will complete 16 units consisting of four three unit courses and a one unit Integrative Paper. The four courses, practicum, and final paper requirement for this certificate are designed to give students a theoretical, experiential, cross cultural, and research foundation in dream studies. DREAMING 2.0: HOW BLOGGING CAN LEVERAGE YOUR DREAM BUSINESS Maybe you are a dream researcher, author, or professional dream worker who is frustrated about how difficult it is to make money in the field of dream studies. Especially now that the economy is weak, there may be a voice in your head that says, “I can’t afford to invest in my dream business right now. And nobody has the extra income for my services anyway.” Ignore it! That voice is a hangover from the 20th century. 2. Blogging attracts media sources that can link to your site and even provide interview and freelance writing opportunities. 3. Blogging allows you to stay close to the pulse of public opinion. Through dialogue, you can even find new ways to attract clients as your readers share their fears, experiences, and aspirations. 4. Blogging clarifies your own thoughts and ideas — it is a great way for writers to stay limber between books. Also a great way to test out all those unpublished pieces that have never seen the light of day. 5. Blogging builds trust by providing useful and free information about your topic. If you are a consultant, blogging can lead the way to new clients. If you are an author, blogging can increase your book sales. If you are a dream researcher, blogging can be another way to collect dream reports and demographic information. My Two Favorite Blogging Services It is easier than ever to get started blogging. There are dozens of services, but here are my top two software choices for beginners. Ryan Hurd is an Internet consultant and freelance writer. He maintains the dream research blog: http://dreamstudies.org |

SPOTLIGHT on Michigan, USA By Jeff Vovillia Since the Montreal conference I’ve been motivated to start a dream group here in mid-Michigan. I’ve been able to recruit interested friends and have even gained some interested community members through flyers. We are currently meeting twice a month and the group seems to be getting quite good at the process. I am very excited to see their growth and am glad to inspire non-dreamers to be avid dreamers.

Dear IASD members, IASD's Nominating Committee has asked me to write and solicit input from IASD members regarding possible nominations for the IASD Board. If you would like to propose someone to the Nominating Committee, please send his or her name in a private email to Robert Waggoner at robwaggoner@aol.com Each year IASD creates a slate of Board candidates to be voted upon by the members for a three year term.
