Stanley Krippner conducted dream workshops in Wuhan and
Guangzhou, China, in November. He drew upon dreamworking techniques pioneered by
Ullman, Delaney, Garfield, Perls, and Jeremy Taylor (among others). He also gave
a public lecture on dreams in the government library in Guangzhou, the first
foreign visitor who had been invited to speak at that venue. As a result of his
visit, there are now Chinese dream groups that meet weekly. His co-authored
book, Extraordinary Dreams, has been published in China. His visit was sponsored
by the Chinese Institute for Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology. HARTMANN DOUBLE-HEADER Ernest Hartmann has two books on the store shelves in December:
The Nature and Functions of Dreaming, a free e-book available on several Internet sites explores how trauma can manifest in dreams.  Boundaries: a New Way to Look at the World, to be released later this month, is available at Amazon.com VAN DE CASTLE AND PIMM APPOINTED TO ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY
Bob Van de Castle and Bobbie Ann Pimm have
been appointed to the faculty of Atlantic University ("AU") in Virginia Beach,

GIVE THE GIFT OF DREAMS
Shortly after IASD's annual Pledge Drive was conceived, an anonymous donor
stepped forward. This person wanted to donate $1,000, specifically for the
purpose of encouraging students around the world to submit their work on dreams
(either research work or creative work) to be judged for annual prizes. This was
the beginning of the IASD Student Awards, and the beginning of a program which
by now has offered five annual student competitions, bringing to life the dreams
of several people along the way. Other IASD programs supported by the annual Pledge Drive include Dream Research Awards, conference scholarships, publications and a general fund which can be drawn on for innovative programs. To donate TODAY online or by mail: http://tinyurl.com/25qwdfm

TRA I SOGNI: Dialogo sul sogno e la sua funzione attraverso l’inconscio di
personaggi celebri” presents state of the art knowledge on dreams that

Art Funkhouser, Jungian therapist and long-time member of the IASD, was recently interviewed by Anthony Peake (also an IASD member) about the phenomenon commonly known as "déjà vu". Of special interest here were his remarks about the connection between some forms of what is called "déjà experience" and precognitive dreams. The interviews can be seen on-line by clicking here and scrolling to the bottom of the webpage. DUESBURY PUBLISHES BOOK
The Counselor's Guide for Facilitating the Interpretation of Dreams by
Evelyn M. Duesbury is for both students and practicing
counselors. This book fills the gaps that exist between many current academic
programs and practitioners’ needs for focused training on how to better assist
clients with dream interpretations. Its main focus is on dreams concerning
family members and other major figures in the dreamer's life with whom he or she
interacts. Readers will first learn how to understand and use their own dreams,
and then how to apply this in order to facilitate their clients’ interpretations
of dreams. They will be amazed and fascinated by the issues, emotions, and
problem-solving suggestions that are often revealed as they guide their clients'
use of a personalized dream interpretation method developed by the author.
Through the use of a detailed case example of a client and her dreams, the
author shows how each step of this method can be applied and carried out in
practice and is easily integrated with contemporary psychotherapies, especially
cognitive behavior therapies.
Anthony Head’s LUCID is an intimate and unsettling
portrait of a college senior who turns to lucid dreaming to cope with chronic
nightmares. Set in the middle of this decade, in the middle of the country, this
psychological thriller follows one man’s immersion into a universe of
possibility that only exists while he remains asleep.
Dreamer Roger Cunningham, facilitated an Ullman method dream group at Integrity House, a drug rehabilitation center in Newark, NJ and Secaucus, NJ. He led “Dream Table” with 85 Dreamers in three groups. Through self-report, observations of clinical staff and by the director, Dr. Coleman, it was observed that Dream Table participants were able to contact and release vestiges of their past traumas by gaining insight in to their dreams. Proof, once again, that dreamwork can be very powerful! Send Dream News information about your website, blog, You Tube video, or any other web presence you have that helps promote IASD!

SPOTLIGHT After 1500 years of hiatus we are trying
to bring back to life the healing sanctuaries of old that were based on the
powers of dreaming: Next summer we intend to open the Santa Barbara Healing
Sanctuary. The Sanctuary, which is to be a proof-of-concept, will be subjected
to rigorous scientific investigation. We envision that it could be the first of
many such centers of healing, and could help to change the way healthcare is
currently being provided. As you know, we spend 50% of all health care costs on
technology. If this trend continues, by the end of the century our descendants
will be treated by machines serviced by human acolytes. The Sanctuary movement
is a promising dream that could supplant this dismal scenario. Membership Inquiries Scott Sparrow, Membership Chair:

Dream
News, I have raised the question, What means the most to you about your IASD
membership? Do the conferences, publications, or Member Pages prompt you to join
or renew, or does something less tangible––such as a sense of belonging to a
group of like-minded and like-hearted people––figure into your “core motive” for
belonging to IASD? If so, can you describe it? Hearing your answer to this
question could make a difference in the lives of other members, and in our
efforts to serve the membership in the future.
