9th Annual PsiberDreaming Conference
"We are such stuff as dreams are made on..."
Prospero in William Shakespeare's The Tempest
September 26 - October 10, 2010
How Does This Online Conference Work?
If you are new to IASD, or new to the idea of online conferences,
the online PsiberDreaming Conference may seem a mystery. The brief
explanation, as one first-time conference attendee said is, "This is
the only conference I could ever attend in my pajamas!"
Through the magic of Internet technology, IASD is able to draw
together presenters, facilitators and participants from all around
the world. The bulletin board format used for the conference is
exactly the format used every day online at
https://asdreams.org/
(which you can visit by just following the links on the web site).
For the conference, special login and password information is given
to participants so that the conference board (except for particular
forums) remains inaccessible to the general public. Papers and
workshops are linked to the bulletin board, where information can be
read at leisure.
PsiberDreaming Conference presenters agree to be available for
discussion for two days after their presentations go online (though
many presenters stay for the entire conference). Participants can
ask questions and make comments in the bulletin board format, which
is very much like writing regular emails, though all who view the
board can view all of the comments. The conference bulletin board
remains open to participants on a read-only basis for two weeks
after the close of the conference.
Conference chats take place in an online chat room. Easy
instructions will be available once the conference begins.
The real key to online conferencing is the participants themselves,
who share their questions, dreams and experiences, and often forge
friendships across the miles.
Features of the PsiberDreaming Conference include:
1. Online Presentations, provocative papers and workshops on
popular and cutting edge topics, such as: remote viewing,
precognition, dream telepathy, mutual dreaming, psychokenesis, lucid
dreaming, visionary dreaming, prodromal dreams, dream healing, the
nature of dream reality, and dreaming as a spiritual practice.
Workshops will provide resource lists for those who wish to explore
topics in greater depth, and practical instructions for techniques
or experiments detailed enough so that conference participants can
try them out at home.
2. Dedicated PsiberDreaming Discussion Boards where participants can
discuss each paper and workshop in depth with authors and other
participants, and can post specific questions, etc. Links to
relevant threads would appear conveniently at the end of each posted
presentation, updated daily to show new threads of interest.
3. Scheduled Chats each week of the conference with presenters
and/or other experts on cutting edge topics.
4. Numerous PsiberDreaming Events where participants can test their
skills and explore different facets of paranormal dreaming,
including dream telepathy and mutual dreaming. Judges will evaluate
how well dreamers tune into the designated targets, or how well
dreamers perform a specific dream task.
5. A PsiberDreaming Art Gallery: The PsiberDreaming Art Gallery
consists of international dreamers who have creatively connected to
their dream images through the process of art making. Unlike other
galleries, this particular gallery is open to anyone who has
artistically connected with their dreams. Participants can display
their own dream art (with accompanying dream text or dream poetry),
sharing them with other participants. You need not be a professional
artist to participate. Links to the previous years Art Gallery will
be available for all to enjoy.
