JAPAN UPDATE
Naoatsu Aoyama, a journalist from the Japanese national paper The Asahi
Shinbun, published a feature on dreams on Sunday, August 5. Under the
title “Captivated by Dreams,” he talked about diverse dream-related
topics: lucid dreams, dreams and literature, neuroscience of dreams,
dreams and REM sleep, types of dreams, dreams and films, REM behavior
disorder, dream analysis, dreams and community building, and dreams and
the recent earthquakes.
"I'M A DREAMER" LAPEL PINS
Two dream workers, Terry Anderson and Jeremy Taylor, came up with the
idea for wordless “I'm a Dreamer” lapel pins to give away to active
dreamers to help them recognize one another at large gatherings, and to
celebrate the burgeoning movement of diverse people involved with the
various contemporary practices of exploring dreams and dreaming in
“dream groups” involving other people. The final result is an elegant
cloisonné oval, an inch across at the widest point, depicting an open
eye in the center of a golden spiral on a purple background, symbolizing
that the wearer is a person who pays regular attention to his/her
dreams, as well as the dreams of other people.

IASD STUDENT AWARDS FOR DREAM RELATED RESEARCH AND PROJECTS We are pleased to announce that the anonymous donor who
has generously provided funding for the Student Research Award for the past
seven years has graciously agreed to provide matching funds for the 2013
competition! The IASD board of trustees will provide the balance of funds. Curtiss Hoffman, Ph.D. From David L. Kahn, Minnesota, U.S. Some of my earliest life memories are dreams. It wasn’t until my teen years that I learned not everyone recalls dreams nightly. It was during those same years that I began to have lucid dreams, which led to reading books by Stephen LaBerge and further expanding my overall interest in dreams. I have kept a dream journal for many years. Notes I took about my dreams eventually took form and turned into articles and a book, and through a series of synchronicities led me to IASD.
My business experience combined with my interest in dreams has brought
me to the Treasurer’s position with IASD, as well as some other
projects. Database design is an area of business that I have been
involved with for years, and recently I have partnered with another
programmer to develop an internet-based dreamwork program for
professional use. The database will be designed mainly for therapists,
with patients having the ability to enter or edit his or her dreams. The
program is functional with different interpretation techniques and is
designed mostly to easily enter, track, sort, and categorize dreams and
aspects of dreams such as characters, locations, actions or objects.
Groups of dreams can then be filtered to find trends and meanings. From Membership Chair, Diane Greig Rickards
Thank you David L. Kahn, IASD treasurer and member from Minnesota, U.S.,
for contributing to the Membership News this month. David’s website,
www.dreamgator.com will be up and running soon. Check it out for more
information and to discover how to track various dream attributes! It is a bittersweet task to give you the news that I am
leaving as Regional Committee Chair for IASD. As you know, our regional
development has flourished in the past several years building on the
contributions of many who preceded me and the formation of the Regional Reps
network, now 66 strong. Our regional conferences have been remarkably
successful and have encouraged growth in membership and enhanced
international presence. I trust that these activities can and will continue,
and I invite members of the Regional Reps network and other IASD members to
consider how you might contribute your initiative and leadership to the next
chapter in our regional development. So, it is hard to say goodbye, but also
good to celebrate the fulfillment of our dreams of a truly global IASD
presence in diverse geographic locales. Current and Upcoming Regional Events 2012-2013

Having already planned a summer family visit to Montreal, they generously accepted. The event was held on August 6 and hosted jointly by the IASD Quebec Regional Committee and L’Arc-en-ciel. There were 64 registrations within just a few days and many were attending an IASD conference for the first time. Fariba and Daniel presented highlights from their recently published book, Integral Dreaming, putting forward a holistic vision of dreams. Joining science with depth psychology, they described dreaming as an integrative and purposeful state of consciousness, poised at the boundary between self, community, and the natural world, proposing a way of being with dreams that fosters creative expression and insights, and the cultivation of awareness. The question period was lively and the enthusiasm palpable. The organizers of this event are most grateful to Fariba and Daniel for making space during their vacation to present their workshop to the French speaking dream community of Québec. The next IASD Montreal Annual Conference is scheduled for Saturday, 13 April 2013.
