Contact: DREAMS THAT CHANGE OUR LIVES UPDATE
The IASD book Dreams that Change our Lives deadline has now passed; however, if you missed it but have an interesting life changing dream we are still open to a few post-deadline stories, space permitting. Keep an eye on the newsletter announcement as we may from time to time do a call for additional stories that fit certain themes if we have a specific need. Click here to submit post-deadline stories. We want to give a heartfelt thank you all who have participated in the effort so far, by opening your hearts to share you delightful and inspiring dreams and stories. At this point we are beginning the process of compiling the stories into themes which will form our chapters, selecting the candidate stories which will fit into this publication, and confirming chapter authors. We will have a lot of editing and organizing to do so the process will take some time, but the effort should be rewarding when completed. LUCID DREAMING PRESENTATIONS IN ISRAEL

quantitative research and qualitative research. Awardees are required to
present their research paper, either at a subsequent IASD full or
mini-conference, or via publication in Dreaming or DreamTime.
