MEMBER EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD Contact: 209.724.0889 Jacquie Lewis AROUND THE WORLD ![]() IASD MEMBER EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD - Click here WHOOPS! WE GOOFED ![]() In the March Dream News we included a photo of Laurette Dupuis. Problem was, it was the wrong Laurette Dupuis. Above is the “real” Laurette Dupuis. Our apologies to both Laurette Dupuis’, especially to our very own IASD one! WEB NEWS PLACE Mary Ziemer has developed a lucid dream alchemy website www.LucidDreamAlchemy.com ![]() Craig Webb sent the following link for Dream News readers because “it links to important issues that seem to affect us all”: www.dreams.ca/wheat ![]() Layne Dalfen introduces to IASD members a new social networking site called http://www.dreamcatcher.net ![]() Fully integrated with leading social network infrastructures such as Facebook and Twitter, dreamcatcher.net is a global social network of dreamers creating a community of sharing dreams and stories of synchronicity. An on-line journal, where you can also post stories of synchronicity in your life, will encourage real sharing amongst friends. Similar to Facebook, each journal post allows the dreamcatcher.net member to opt for complete privacy, "friends only" sharing, or complete public sharing. When you join you’ll see an option to enter a “seedcode,” which is IASD. MEMBERS IN THE MEDIA AND AROUND TOWN ![]() IASD luminary, Jayne Gackenbach will be hosting a weekly radio show titled “Video Games: Brain Gain or Drain? You can hear the show at http://tinyurl.com/4xbo94e and it’s available 24/7. If there are any topics, issues or events that you’d like her to cover on the show drop her a line at gackenbachj@macewan.ca If you have a guest that you’d like to recommend who can address the topic of “technology and consciousness” please let Jayne know. If you have a business, a book or a service that could benefit from aligning with the radio show content, contact Mary Lou Davidson from Matrix Media at MaryLou@matrixmediainc.com – 941-379-1440. ![]() The book teaches that there are several things about dreams that can turn lives around. It is based on his five years of facilitating dream seminars around the USA and his 30 years of a private psychotherapy practice. It is the first book to show clearly and concisely how dreams can define God in a practical, nonsectarian and universal way. C.G. Jung, the great Swiss Psychiatrist, came to Arthur in a dream and told him who God was! Jung showed him, in the dream, how to take the concept of God and make it accessible and appealing without losing its complexity. This coming closer to a "Higher Power" will help individuals experience the presence of the divine in everyday existence and help actively shape lives in a deep spiritual way. The book can be purchased at www.amazon.com or at his website, www.dreamtechniques.com ![]() Curt Hoffman gave a talk at the Northeastern Anthropological Association conference at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire on March 26th, titled "Cross-Cultural Imagery in C.G. Jung's Red Book.” The talk was attended by about 30 participants and was well received, with many questions afterwards. ![]() Dear IASD Friends, In Japan, there are very few mental health resources available for the long-term resident foreign community. For years, I have been active in the Association of Foreign Wives of Japanese (AFWJ). So in May, I will go to Japan to offer a workshop on coping with nightmares after a crisis at the annual AFWJ convention www.afwj.org I will also do several other dream related workshops while I am there, for people in my former hometown of Uaryasu City, which was badly damaged by the earthquake. I will be following in the footsteps of my son Hiroshi, who volunteered within hours of the earthquake to go help Japan with the US Navy. He is currently in Yokosuka, alternating his time between the US Navy and Japanese Self Defense Forces. Apparently, he is one of very few people in the US Navy who is bilingual and bicultural in Japanese and English. I am so pleased that he is able to give something back to Japan, which has always treated my family and me so well. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers while we are in Japan that we may be of service.

In the past few months the world has been shaken by wave after wave of disasters, attacks and upheavals caused by both natural and manmade forces. Not surprisingly many ![]() During the monthly IASD Executive Committee and the spring board meetings held soon after the Japan tragedy, we shared powerful dreams and actions of IASD members and others regarding the disasters in Japan. Messages from our members and their families in Japan were posted on the IASD Facebook pages (there are two), the World Dreams Peace Bridge, the IASD Bulletin Board and other nets through which we interconnect. The relevance of dreaming in the context of an intense collective catastrophe and need is well known. Recently, the enhanced capacity of the IASD community to respond immediately via social media outlets both within and beyond our own members and families was powerfully demonstrated. Some will remember how Robbie Bosnak, Jill Fischer and others established a Nightmare Hotline after 911; now there are multiple places where dreaming and emergency needs in a time of tragedy can be accessed. This is a real and palpable instance of the relevance of IASD’s work in community; in our dreams and in our friendships with one another we quite literally provide a refuge space for the terrifying, the saving, and transcending dreams experienced in this current nightmare crisis in Japan. IASD was also approached by many media sources and individuals for comments and information about dreaming, in particular lucid dreaming, in light of the Tucson shootings regarding dream journals kept by the alleged gunman. Brief statements were posted on the website and on the list serve, which led to much discussion but was not intended as a policy or definitive statement on lucid dreaming. Rather, it was a way for us to “step up” and respond to a public need in the moment, as did many IASD experts who were also approached. The point of these examples is that we have increased opportunities and requests to share our knowledge and practices about dreams with a wider public, especially in time of crisis or social need, and we are rising to these occasions from the unique capacity of our organization. IASD regional development has grown significantly in the past few years, and while in some cases the number of members may be small, the solidarity and impact of a regional group may be great indeed. We see this demonstrated in a very moving way with our regional membership group in Tokyo, Japan following the disasters. Additionally, the Japanese IASD regional group was greatly helped by the larger IASD world community through Internet access to those outside Japan even when local access to friends and loved ones in their own country was severed. There are numerous stories to tell about the dreams and the activities undertaken within Japan and worldwide as our IASD community activated dream and practical linkages. I hope all these stories will be told, including the awe producing dream of Jennie Parker who gave Jean Campbell permission to share it with the broader community. To see her dream and others, or to share your own, please go to IASD’s Facebook page - now linked to our Bulletin Board - or go to the BB directly. In this one-year anniversary photo of the Japanese Regional IASD group you see Takanari Takjiri, Misa Tsuruta, and Shuhei Enomoto. In the following two letters Shuhei eloquently expresses their devastation and recovery and one of the ways they have decided to help: by translating the nightmare response pages on the IASD website into Japanese and posting them to our Japanese language gateway. Misa Tsuruta plans to do workshops with children experiencing post-traumatic stress. Watch our IASD communication networks for other avenues of assistance within Japan and in our world IASD community. Saturday, March 26, 2011 Dear Jody, Richard, and Scott, Thank you so much for considering us. All three Japanese members of IASD are safe with their family, relatives and friends. We all live in Tokyo or nearby Tokyo. There are no days we can't hear people talk about the earthquake and nuclear plant. Two weeks has passed, my energy is beginning to bounce back slowly from the earthquake. I have had several dreams. I am moved deeply that dreaming imagination doesn't stop, even though the outer, real world is in catastrophic. I wonder what I can do for this situation as a member of IASD. So Takanari, Misa and I would like to translate the IASD nightmare information page for Japanese people who have had traumatic nightmares caused by suffering this triple event: earthquake, tsunami, and radioactive meltdown. I would like to know if I may have permission to do so. Actually on the day of 11 March, our cell phones didn't work, but we were able to use the Internet. This time, I feel the internet is one of the best resources. The nightmare pages are so neutral and offer comprehensive information, in brief, that Japanese people who fear their ![]() Regards, Shuhei Enomoto April 2, 2011 Hi Jody, Thanks for thinking of us. The earth and our hearts were shaken. Things around us are gradually better than two weeks ago. We are adapting ourselves to the new situation, scheduled blackouts, less frequent trains. So I feel tired, I need more time to rest and recharge this weekend. I guess this is a natural physical response to the earthquake. Feeling the being of dream images I will rest more relaxed. You can use the picture of us at our one year anniversary meeting. And here is good news! I almost forgot to mention it because the earthquake has strong impact! My colleagues of the Japanese Society for Embodied Dream Work and I have translated Robbie Bosnak’s book, Embodiment. Then the Japanese edition of Embodiment will be released April 6 from Sogensha, the publisher that published Jung’s Red Book in Japanese. Thank you for supporting strongly. Regards, ![]() Shuhei It seems very fitting that IASD’s work on nightmare help following disaster, begun in the US after 911 disaster, is now carried forward as an aid to the people of Japan at the very time that the Japanese Society for Embodied Dream Work releases a Japanese edition of Robbie Bosnak’s book, Embodiment. Even as we mourn the terrible losses in Japan we celebrate the amazing spirit of the Japanese people and of our own IASD Regional groups who so embody the spirit of hope. Jodine Grundy, IASD President
