DREAM BALL IN LONDON IS GREAT SUCCESS
Inspired by IASD’s annual Dream Ball, the Dream Research Institute in
London hosted the UK’s first ever Dream Evening – Dream Ball & Dream Art
Sale – on March 7th at St. Peter’s RR Gallery. On the night, the Dream
Eve raised over £11,000 on behalf of the DRI and HELP Counselling
Centre. London's Sleep
Center and "Sleep Artist" contributed art to the sale.
Thank you to the over 160 guests and 30 volunteers who helped to make
the event a magical one and thanks to all the support from IASD – a
special thanks to IASD Board Member, Ed Kellogg, who made a wizardly
appearance, volunteering at the event. IASD Member, Mary Ziemer,
organized the Dream Ball and came as the Night Sky.
The evening celebrated the healing power of dreams, and Dr Nigel
Hamilton, Director of the DRI, shared his polar bear dream and spoke on
“Dreams as Mirrors of the Soul.” The DRI looks forward to hosting a
future Dream Ball UK!

From Susan Benson, Regional Events Co-Chair This month we launched the new Regional Events webpage masthead. The design concept grew out of a conversation on the Regional Reps discussion board about translations of the English word “dream.” We have had some very nice feedback on the new look. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the project, and we look forward to being able to share continuing project outcomes.
