 Because IASD is a 501 (c) 3 US nonprofit organization, and we understand that many members prefer to wait until receiving year-end financial reports before deciding on tax-deductible charitable donations, we run IASD's annual fund-raising campaign on a November through January basis.
That, having been said, we hope that you will select IASD as a worthy charity, and take this opportunity to give generously by the end of January, when we will close out the campaign with many thank yous. To date, donations of $7,818.00 have been made to the Pledge Campaign in five different categories: Conference Scholarships $763 (or approximately four scholarships); Low Income Memberships $275 (or approximately four low income memberships); Publications $550; Research Grant Awards $3,225 and General Funds, including special, restricted, funds $2,875 Thanks to all of you who have contributed so far toward this year's campaign goals.

 MEMBERSHIP NEWS January 2009SPOTLIGHT on Northern Virginia, USA By Jean Campbell IASD Members Join With Tidewater Peace Alliance for Peace Festival Every year when IASD members in the area of Norfolk, Virginia get together in December, they join with two other members of the Tidewater Peace Alliance for a month-long Festival for Peace, started four years ago by the owner of a local movie theater, Tench Phillips. The Peace Festival presents a variety of films, speakers, discussions and performances around the subject of world peace, starting with a Fair Trade Festival the first weekend of the month and winding down with a Solstice Celebration the weekend of the winter Solstice. Several Peace Festival events each year are held at The Studio for the Healing Arts, owned by IASD members, David Gordon, PhD and Dani Vedros, LCSW.
At the close of the Peace Festival, local members of The World Dreams Peace Bridge, many of which whom are also members of IASD, provided a "Drum Dance and Dream for Peace Solstice Celebration." Proceeds from this annual event, which includes drumming, dancing, and a candlelight ceremony of dreams and prayers for peace, are used to further the work of the Peace Bridge with the children of Iraq. This year, the Peace Bridge has "adopted" a family that has fled from Iraq to Turkey. A poem to Zeyneb, the family's ten-year-old daughter, was written by Ilkin Sungu of Istanbul and read at the Solstice ceremony. People attending the event donated nearly $800 for the children. IASD member Marilyn Brown led the closing ceremony for the Peace Festival, reminding everyone present of the importance of future dreaming that intends to dream a peaceful world together.

 Stanley Krippner just completed leading a three-day workshop at Rowe Camp and Conference Center in Massachusetts. Titled, "Awakening to the Dawn of a New Myth," it utilized dreams as a vehicle to identify and evaluate participants' personal myths, both functional and dysfunctional, both constructive and destructive. Most of the participants recalled dreams every morning, after going through the dream incubation exercise he led every evening.

Hello to all of IASD's Dream-News subscribers from the moderators of IASD's discussion boards. If you are not aware of this, IASD has a dream discussion forum with many different categories to engage in the discussion of dreams and the act of dreaming. This board is used by a lot of dream hobbyists and those intrigued with the study of dreams, yet is lacking any real dream authority. Because of this, we ask that those of you who are professionals the field of dreaming to stop by the forum and help us with the never ending tide of new visitors with technical questions regarding their dreams. Most of us that are moderating the board are just volunteer dream enthusiasts and on many occasions are asked questions that we don't necessarily have the skills to answer. Also, we have discussed it and feel that professionals using the board will give the board a better chance of delivering a skilled answer to a new poster as well as add needed energy to the boarding community. If this is something that interests you, please visit our discussion board at the following address: http://dreamtalk.hypermart.net/bb2005/index.php

The International Association for the Study of Dreams is a non-profit, international, multidisciplinary organization dedicated to the pure and applied investigation of dreams and dreaming. Our purposes are to promote an awareness and appreciation of dreams in both professional and public arenas; to encourage research into the nature, function, and significance of dreaming; to advance the application of the study of dreams; and to provide a forum for the eclectic and interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and information. | |
Vernon Neppe (Seattle), Chris Moulin (Leeds University), Prof. Tonegawa (Harvard University) and Art Funkhouser, (Bern, Switzerland) were interviewed for a half hour program devoted to déjà vu that was shown Dec. 3rd on the second Italian TV channel (RAI 2). Dreams were also discussed in relation to the topic. 
Craig Webb was interviewed about dreams, IASD, and the Chicago regional and the IASD annual international conference for Chicago radio WHFH 88.5 FM. The program will be aired sometime in the Spring. 
He is using it for "first publication" of all sorts of essays, stories and fresh research, ranging from the real history of Lincoln's assassination dream, to dream-inspired poetry. 
This year, the Festival was opened by IASD member Lana Nasser who performed her one-woman show "Arab Woman Talking." Lana, who traveled to Tidewater from California to attend a Dream Scouts workshop held over Thanksgiving weekend by IASD Board Chair, Jean Campbell, stayed on in the area to perform at the Peace Festival and conduct a workshop entitled “Discovering the Sacred Feminine.” Lana will be returning to her native Jordan this spring, where she will provide "Journeys to Jordan." 
Happy New Year everyone! May we all realize our best dreams for ourselves, our families and the whole world in 2009.
