MEMBERS IN THE MEDIA AND AROUND TOWN  Patricia Garfield’s first novel: Delfine The Dream Girl is now available in Dutch. Dutch dreamers are invited to read or download for free the first chapter. Other IASD members may enjoy reading the English version of the first chapter online: http://creativedreaming.org/ Follow the adventures of Delfine, a super-heroine coming into her power and learning to harness it. As she falls asleep, Delfine experiences a change that sends her flying through her open bedroom window to land in the midst of some child’s nightmare. There, Delfine helps dreamers solve their terrifying nightmares. Her adventures teach young readers useful methods for coping with their own dark dreams. She visits dreams of sleepers in different countries, cultures, and times. Readers not only absorb effective means to banish nightmares, they also are exposed to creative ways (poetry, song, art) of using their fascinating dream imagery. A new issue of Ioan Dirina’s book, I have proof of a Higher Power, relates prophetic dreams and offers proof of a higher power. You can read free excerpts at www.thelibertytrust.com.  Wat Heb Jij Gedroomd Vannacht? (literally, What did you dream last night?) is a new book from Dutch dream coach, Nicoline Douwes Isema and journalist,, Cathelijne Esser. Designed to bring readers on an easy and fun, yet scientific, journey through the world of dreams Wat Heb Jij Gedroomd Vannacht? helps skeptics and believers get to the bottom of their dreams through process, not definition. Communicated in a magazine format, with stunning illustrations from over 30 young Dutch artists, the magazine contains articles as varied as: the neurology of dreams; the latest research on nightmares; dream sharing; business dreaming; and precognitive dreams. The book introduces the Dutch public to luminaries in the dream research field, with contributions by Jean Campbell, Jayne Gackenbach, Marja Moors, and others. It points readers to the ground breaking research of Deirde Barrett, Clara E. Hill, and Robert Van de Castle, to name a few. Wat Heb Jij Gedroomd Vannacht? seeks to upgrade the image of dreams. It introduces decades of research to the Dutch public, replacing the age old question: “What does it mean when you dream of a...” with a modern view on dream research. The goal is to make the question 'what did you dream last night' a conversation starter at the water cooler, the kitchen table, or over drinks. Available May 16th, 2011 throughout the Netherlands. www.wathebjijgedroomdvannacht.nl  The authors, Nicoline Douwes Isema and Cathelijne Esser  IASD board member Jacquie Lewis presented “Bringing Dreams Out of the Bedroom and Onto The Couch” at the American Psychological Association Division 32: Society for Humanistic Psychology, “In the World…On the Edge 2011” conference, April 15-17, hosted by The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Participants experienced the Ullman method of dreamwork and, of course, were encouraged to visit the IASD website for further information on dreams, dreaming, and dreamwork. |

Representative Today, more than two years since we began, and as part of the Canadian Transpersonal Community, we are meeting twice monthly to continue the dreaming, and to collaborate on a book and film. These endeavors will explore the power of shared dreaming, collective mythos, personal transformations via dreaming, and the call to action, that is, bringing the knowledge, wisdom, and synergy of collective dreaming into the greater community.

By Laurette Dupuis
April 2, Montreal, Quebec, Auberge Hotel Universel, 7:30 AM: ACTION!
Registration tables are set up on the mezzanine.
Volunteers are busy.
Kim Vergil is carrying in her paintings which she sets up at the back
of the main hall. Coffee is
brewing and the excitement and expectation of a great day ahead is high.
Another IASD regional conference - the second for Montreal!
Already the organizing committee and the volunteers know that there
are 256 registrations, as many as last year.
While in the main hall 45-minute presentations were scheduled throughout the
day, the program also offered attendees two other options:
in a second hall, pre-registered participants attended either the
morning or the afternoon two-hour training sessions for professionals and in
a third hall four workshops were scheduled throughout the day:
lucid dreaming, dream journaling, working with end of life dreams,
problem solving dreams. These
workshops and the training sessions were very well attended.
The two halls were full throughout the day and many people had to
reluctantly be turned away.
This format is therefore likely to influence the structure of the program
for the 2012 Montreal IASD Regional Conference.
Yes! This team is ready
for another IASD Regional Conference!
By the end of the day 129 evaluation sheets had been turned in.
The consensus confirmed that the workshops and professional training
sessions are of great interest to the Montreal dreamers. So perhaps that is
something the organizing committee will want to consider for the next
Montreal IASD Regional Conference.
