PRESIDENT'S CORNER
![](august-roberto.jpg)
Hello again,
I have a confession to make. I’m a dinosaur when it comes to social
networking. You have to realize, I was born before television. Our telephone
was a shared party line.
I also came from a different era when it
comes to IASD. I was introduced to the association in 1990. At that time we
did not even have an email address.
At that time, we had
international representation but had not yet attached the word
“International” to our name. We hosted some conferences outside the United
States, but most of our members were from within the US.
It used to
be that the only way to really connect with other members was to attend the
annual conference. The concept of organizational chapters didn’t seem to
make sense, since most of our membership was pretty much scattered in
different-sized clusters throughout the US.
But we all know the world
has become smaller and more connected, and IASD is right there in the middle
of it, to the extent that we now need a whole committee devoted to global
networking – it is logically called the Social Networking Committee.
IASD is itself now a global social network. No longer do we rely on
email to stay in touch. Our fans, friends, and followers on Facebook and
Twitter are growing daily.
No longer do we only connect annually at
the annual site-specific conferences. Attendees at the online PsiberDreaming
Conference came from Australia; New Zealand; 14 countries within Europe; the
Near, Middle, and Far East; Canada; South and Central America; as well as
the US. We have over 60 regional representatives in all of those areas, plus
the African continent, Russia, and other countries in Asia, who help us
provide more localized personal interaction. We help organize regional
meetings throughout the world.
The board of directors discussed some
of the high-tech and no-tech aspects of our future in global networking just
last week at their fall meeting. (Side note: the meetings of the board are
not closed – you are always invited to attend.) They discussed possibilities
such as more real-time teleconferences, and the trend toward virtual
reality, to the extent that we could envision real-time exchanges with dream
avatars. They even discussed plans for looking at other ways in which our
members can connect face-to-face on a more personal basis.
It is
really exciting for an old dinosaur like me to live in this new world. What
a privilege for dreamers throughout the planet to have this central site,
IASD, where they can safely connect with others to share, study, and learn
about dreams and dreaming.
Please send me your thoughts and ideas on
our global presence – present and future:
roberto@asdreams.org I will
pass them on to our management team.
Wishing you the best of dreams. Robert P. Gongloff, IASD
President

“Janice Baylis has applied chaos and complexity theory science to
dreaming. This will help her readers to create ‘order out of chaos’ and use
their dreams in practical, life-enhancing ways.” Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Saybrook University.
“The author’s ‘associative thinking tree’
provides a structure for tracing dream events and images to their possible
sources. An intriguing contribution.” Robert Hinshaw, Jungian Analyst,
Zurich, Switzerland.
“The reader is led through a series of examples
and practice exercises. These acquaint the reader with techniques for
mastering elements of associative thinking.” Dr. Robert Van de Castle, past
president, IASD.

IMPORTANT UPDATE ON IASD’S JOURNAL DREAMING
![](Dreaming%20Journal.gif)
DREAMING: The Journal of the Association for the Study of Dreams has been
restored to the Thomson Reuters ISI Social Citation Report, and will receive
a 2011 impact factor for the first time in several years after disappearing
from it in the transfer from publishing with Kluver to our present
publisher, American Psychological Association. DREAMING has been featured on
APA Publications Facebook page twice this fall, and they have been doing a
nice job of publicizing it and getting many subscribers outside IASD.
We hope that you enjoy your subscription to DREAMING. However, we’d like
to remind individuals who don’t make use of it, and that handful of you who
get two copies for various reasons, that your subscriptions can be donated
to libraries to benefit multiple readers--at your alma mater, at a
university in your town, at your local city library, etc. For example, Rev.
Jeremy Taylor receives a second copy because the Marin Institute for
Projective Dream Work, (MIPD) is enrolled with IASD as an ”institutional
member,” so he donates his personal copy to his alma mater the State
University of New York at Buffalo. We encourage other IASD members to do
this! Deirdre Barrett, PhD, Editor in Chief, DREAMING.

Dreams and Healing Study Needs Participants
![](dreams%20for%20healing.jpg)
Bhaskar Banerji would like to extend an invitation to all members of the
IASD community. As part of his doctorate in Mind Body Medicine at Saybrook
University he will be conducting a pilot quantitative study on dreams and
health. The basic requirements include completing a dreamer and health
profile form and then logging your dreams on-line for the next 30 days. Your
participation will help determine new ways to prevent disease or to
implement early intervention for more serious conditions, thus helping to
shift the current system from one that focuses primarily on disease-care to
one that is more pro-active and healthcare oriented.
Click here.
To
start, please complete the consent form. Additional instructions appear
thereafter. All information is strictly confidential. If you wish to
participate anonymously, he recommends creating and registering a fictitious
email account. Please pass this along to anyone you think would be
interested.
Dream Content Measured for First Time in Lucid Dreamers
![](lucid_dreams-.jpg)
Observations of the brain with near-infrared spectroscopy during dreaming
produce provocative results. The dreams of lucid dream research participants
reflect corresponding brain activity.
Michael Czisch, research group leader
at the Max Planck Institute for Psychiatry sums up research results, “Our
dreams are therefore not a ‘sleep cinema’ in which we merely observe an
event passively, but involve activity in the regions of the brain that are
relevant to the dream content.” To read the entire article visit:

PSIBERDREAMING CONFERENCE 2011 MOST SUCCESSFUL EVER Jean
Campbell, Conference Host
Although I have hosted almost a decade of PsiberDreaming
Conferences for IASD, and (with the help of an immensely
talented crowd of volu nteers)
have seen this online conference grow in scope and popularity
even beyond the vision we initially had, the most satisfying
thing for me about this year's conference was to hear
repeatedly: "Thank you for creating a safe space for us to talk
about dreams."
PsiberDreaming 2011, "Perspectives on
Lucidity," was the largest PsiberDreaming conference we have
hosted. By the close of the conference there were 205 attendees,
generating a conference income of $4,055.
Conference
income does not correctly reflect attendance though, because we
offer the PsiberDreaming Conference as a free benefit to those
who join IASD in the month and a half prior to the conference.
This year's activity around promoting the PsiberDreaming
Conference online, particularly on Facebook – where for the
first time presenters were able to advertise their upcoming
presentations on their own Facebook pages, as well as more
general advertising on the IASD Facebook page and Twitter –
brought over 40 new IASD members to the PDC for free. An
additional 40 people or more registered for the conference from
the general public without becoming IASD members.
Because we were curious about this particular balance of
conference attendees, Office Manager Richard Wilkerson and I
decided to send out a mid-conference on-line evaluation survey
to attendees via Survey Monkey. What we discovered from the 75
people who replied was that the PDC has a very high response
rate and new members were feeling more than satisfied. Results
of the survey are available upon request.
Particular
thanks for this year's conference go to Richard Wilkerson and
Laura Atkinson, who designed web pages and managed the Forum; to
Joy Fat ooh, who created the whimsical conference masthead and
graphic; to Janet Garrett, who not only managed the copy editing
and formatting team but presented a paper on her own research;
to Mary Pat Lynch and
Diana Thompson and Lindsay Van Hove who, with Laura's assistance
created a magnificent art gallery; to Ed Kellogg who managed
contests; to Curt Hoffman and Dolores Nurss, who outdid
themselves in the Outer Inn; to all of the talented and generous
presenters--and to others too numerous to mention. Special
thanks to Rita Dwyer, who always runs interference behind the
scenes. The PsiberDreaming Conference is a huge volunteer effort
that brings together the entire dreaming community.
One
way to look at the growth of IASD's international scope is to
look at the geography of this year's PsiberDreaming Conference.
The column to your right indicates where attendees hail from.
Ten years ago, when this conference began, one of the
intended goals was to find a way to include the global dream
community in IASD activities. This goal has been amply realized.
Thanks to all who participated, Jean Campbell, PsiberDreaming
Host
MEMBERSHIP NEWS
OCTOBER 2011
Spotlight on Great Britain Jennifer Parker, Membership Chair![](jennie-parker1.jpg)
I have been part of the IASD for many years and have accepted,
with gratitude, my new role as membership committee chair. By
profession, I am an academic psychologist and an active dream
researcher. I have been fortunate to write books on dreams and
to actively engage with various types of media to promote dream
work. I always mention The IASD with the hope of extending its
membership and this dream community. I would like to take this
opportunity to share my own journey with my dreams.
I
have been interested in dreams for as long as I can remember. As
a child and teenager I frequently experienced nightmares. Later,
as a rather “mature” undergraduate student, I was mesmerized by
the lectures on dreams and dreaming. I so badly wanted to
understand why I had had these dreams, and what they meant. I
searched for answers but found that explanations in textbooks or
academic papers provided only part of the answers to my
questions. My academic career has been motivated by trying to
find a way to research dreams that allows multiple types of
dream experiences to be, at least, described in some meaningful
way.
More recently, whilst finishing my Ph.D., the
trajectory of my career was inextricably changed by a serious
illness. This led me to question many of the assumptions I held
about “good” dreamwork. As a scientist I had been trained to
look for the middle ground, or the “average” dream description.
However, my attention was drawn to the exceptional or, in more
statistical terms, the outliers that didn’t fit into so called
rational theory. So in order to understand my own experiences, I
was attracted to experiential and intuitive ways of working with
dreams. In order to do so, I experimented with qualitative, as
well as quantitative, research methods.
This tension
between purely scientific observation and my own
experience-based knowledge was exacerbated further by my own
dreams both prior to, and during, this illness. The “evidence”
was clearly documented in a dream journal that I had kept
religiously as part of my rigorous academic training. My records
showed that some ten years previously I had dreamt my illness.
The observable truth was undeniable: prodromal dreams, possibly
even precognitive dreams actually existed. If I had acted on
these dreams and had regular medical check-ups who knows what I
might have prevented happening. For a hardened skeptic this was
a big “Ah-ha” experience. Later in my recovery, dreams showed
me, often in glorious Technicolor, exactly what I needed to do
in waking life to be healthy. My dreams showed me that health
must be present in the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional
domains. My dreams have literally taken me from a
one-dimensional way of being and opened up the possibility of a
much more meaningful way of living.
I have had to
conclude that “a part of me knows” even if I am not consciously
aware of it. This taught me a very valuable lesson: to respect
other people’s truth about dreams, not just my own. I try to
empower the people I work with in accordance with IASD’s ethical
statement. I avoid telling people what their dreams mean. The
people I come in contact with often ask exactly the same
questions that I once asked. I tell them to cherish all their
dreams and think of them as an internal barometer that is far
wiser than the waking mind.
My dream as I enter service
to IASD is that the researchers, artists, spiritual advisors,
and practitioners that make up this unique association come
together to share ideas and ways of working. Regardless of our
chosen approach to dreams, we all share one desire: to
understand these fascinating universal phenomena, in all their
forms, and to disseminate this knowledge to the people with whom
we work. The IASD provides a sacred space for us to be able to
do this. I am really looking forward to my role as membership
chair. I hope to help our members, both old and new, to feel as
welcome as I have felt. If I can help with any membership
queries please feel free contact me at:
Jenniferparker917@btinternet.com I really will be happy to help.

IASD 2011 PLEDGE DRIVE TO FOCUS ON WEBSITE UPGRADE
Refurbishing the IASD Website to better reflect exciting areas of growth
and change in the organization has been named as a major goal f or
2012 by the IASD Board of Directors. So we are asking for your
assistance.
Each year during our annual Pledge Drive, which
begins in November and extends until January, we ask members and friends
to help us build the IASD dream. This year, in addition to the usual
help the Pledge Drive brings to areas of IASD like conference
scholarships, complimentary memberships, Research Grant Awards, Student
Awards, publications and general operations, we are asking you to
contribute to the cost of making our web presence more inviting and
attractive.
In 2011, a year when many nonprofit organizations
have struggled to stay alive, IASD has been thriving--because of your
interest, and the growing interest of the general public, in dreams and
consciousness. With your contribution of $50 or more to IASD, we will
upgrade your membership to the Patron category and list your name as a
contributor to the 2011 Pledge Drive page at
www.asdreams.org/pledge2011
Plans have already begun for work on the web site upgrade. First
steps include the development of a web task force including Richard
Wilkerson, Laura Atkinson, Jacquie Lewis, Jean Campbell, Scott Sparrow
and Ryan Hurd. The first work of this ad hoc committee will be the
development of a Needs Assessment form through which Chairs of IASD
committees and others can request changes to the web site. This is the
first step of an assessment of needs in order to estimate the cost of
changes.
As part of this process of better meeting member needs,
at its October Board meeting the IASD Board voted to make the Social
Networking Committee, with Ryan Hurd as Chair, a full committee of the
Board. IASD's work during 2011 has included a test of Internet social
networking communication that has been very successful in encouraging
new memberships.
With your help and your generosity, we will
continue to grow internationally in 2012, with the aid of a more
reflective and responsive web presence. Look for a post card soon in the
mail, your reminder to help us grow the dream!
QUEBEC MEETS ALASKA IN MONTREAL
On a recent sunny Sunday afternoon in Old Montreal, three members
of the Quebec IASD Regional Committee gathered at a “café-terrasse”
where they had the pleasure of welcoming
to Montreal an IASD member from Alaska: Dr. Stephen B. Parker, a
clinical and forensic psychologist. All had met a few years ago at an
annual IASD conference and had much to share particularly on the topic
of “dreams and dying.” The latest news Dr. Parker shared was the recent
publication of his book Heart Attack & Soul - In the Labyrinth of
Healing. This was of great interest to Angela Dupont and perhaps, more
so, for Monique Sequin and Nicole Grafton who published in 2009 Les rêves en fin de vie (End of life dreams). There was much rejoicing also
when Monique announced that the English version will go on sale in
Canada and the US in the next few weeks.
In September 2001, Dr.
Parker had the following dream: “An airplane with a red four-cylinder
engine is leaking oil, and smoke is coming from the engine. The plane
takes off, but then immediately crashes.” When he woke up he immediately
thought: “You are having heart problems.”
Robbie Bosnak reviewed
Dr. Parker’s book and said: “When the heart stops a world comes to an
end. The work of Stephen Parker shows us that there is life after the
end, after the heart has been attacked by death, and survived. In his
remarkable reports and stunning paintings, we are moved to witness the
transition from his life before to his life after as it forges its way
to renewal.”
As a licensed practical nurse in a palliative care
unit, Monique had been collecting dreams from dying patients for several
years and together with Nicole Gratton they wrote the stories of these
patients revealing the enlightened wisdom of dreams that manifests at
this point in life.
As you can see, the meeting of these IASD
members sparked the onset of a close relationship between Quebec and
Alaska, which the Internet has kept alive. It led to this stimulating
and enthusiastic get-together on a recent Sunday afternoon on a sunny
terrace in Old Montreal.
NEW YORK IASD REGIONAL CONFERENCE OPENS DOORS
"Dreaming: The Doorway to Spiritual and Religious Insight", the
Western New York (WNY) IASD Regional, co-sponsored by Daemen College and
Ruachrest,
was held at Daemen College on October 1, 2011. Its "dreaming-duo", Dr.
Kelly Bulkeley and Rev. Jeremy Taylor did a wonderful job of captivating
the attention of 71 registrants, which included several hospice
employees (chaplains, doctors, administrators), social workers,
ministers, students, nuns, psychologists, school administrators and
educators, writers, as well as members of the Western New York
Analytical Psychology Society.
Conference topics included: themes in religious dreaming around the
world, practical advice for hospice professionals and other caregivers
whose work involves them in the dying process, dreams as a spiritual
practice, and the projective dreamwork process (just to name a few).
Several of the participants expressed an interest in hearing more about
IASD. Needless to say, we're hoping to see a few more faces from WNY at
next year's Berkeley Conference!
IASD SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REGIONAL CONFERENCE
We had an enthusiastic response to the second IASD Southern
California Regional Conference on “Dreams in a Changing World”. Sixty f ive
participants and twenty presenters gathered on Marymount College campus
overlooking the ocean on a beautiful sunny Saturday, September 17, 2011.
Jeremy Taylor delivered an inspiring keynote address to emphasize that
each of us actively support the evolution of consciousness by giving
attention to our dreams. Afterwards, participants selected from a rich
variety of workshops and panels ranging from Christian spirituality,
drawing the dream, synchronicity and Tarot as innovative approaches to
dream work, embodied imagination, lucid dreaming, chaos and complexity
theory, utilizing addicts’ dreams in recovery and listening to
collective dreams for guidance through turbulent times. Sheila Asato
came from Minneapolis to present about returning to Japan after the
earthquake where she integrated dreams and creative arts for
humanitarian aid with children and adults. Robert Hoss joined local
presenters on a panel for beginning dreamers; David Jenkins and Marcia
Emery also came from Northern California to present their work.
Additional presenters included Joy Fatooh, Sheri Kling and Leonard
Szymczak.
The conference received unanimous raves along with
twelve new members to the IASD community. Thanks to our dream team of
organizers/presenters led with great zeal and skill by Athena Johnson
Kolinski, including Walter Berry, Rev. Geoff Nelson, Barbara Bishop,
Rita Hildebrandt, Sandy Ginsberg, Barbara Schiffman, Janice Baylis, Judy
White, Anna-Karin Bjorklund, Richard Paseman, and Lauren Schneider. We
are already incubating more Southern California regional events for the
upcoming year.
