Thanks to a grant from an anonymous donor, IASD is able to offer graduate and undergraduate students the opportunity to compete for two $500.00 awards for the best student papers in the field of Dream Studies. Papers must be submitted to the IASD office by May 1, 2005, and will be judged by a panel of faculty members of IASD. Authors of winning papers, as well as authors of papers deserving honorable mention, will be announced at the IASD 2005 Conference in Berkeley. Winners must agree to make their papers available for presentation either at a regional meeting of IASD, the 2005 Psiberdreaming Conference or the 2006 IASD Conference, and/or for publication in a future issue of Dreaming or DreamTime.

Studio 360 Dreams Program

Airing today (2/26/05) - if you can catch it - and they may rebroadcast this Studio 360 radio program later- this show should interest many of you:

http://www.wnyc.org/studio360/show.html

You can also hear Marina Marinovitch talking about her Dream Bed - now in the DreamingNow exhibition at the Rose Museum at Brandeis outside Boston through April:

http://www.brandeis.edu/rose/exhibitions/exhi_pres.html

(She has also apparently built an entire Dream House in Japan.)

And if you miss the show, you will enjoy the webpages. And if you live near Boston, perhaps you can take in the exhibition and let the rest of us know how you liked it.

Enjoy yourselves!

Ed

P.S.

If you miss the radio broadcast, I just noticed that you can listen to the show online - and that they also have a slide show.


Update translation Marquis d’Hervey de Saint-Denys

Those interested in lucid dreaming will be pleased to know that one of the classic books has been translated by Carolus M. den Blanken, and the translation is now available at the website.

Research on Children and Psi Dreams

I am a professional writer collecting stories about paranormal experiences involving parents and children (either young or grown) that affected parenting and family relationships. Such stories could include:

If you or someone you know has had this sort of experience and want to share it with others, please let me know either through this group or at paranormalparenting@adelphia.net. Please be sure to include (a) how this experience changed you and/or other family members and (b) contact information for a follow-up interview if necessary. These stories will be considered for use in a book, TV talk show, documentary, radio program, Web site, and/or syndicated column without any compensation (unless otherwise agreed).

To read an article that I wrote for Electric Dreams about children appearing to their parents-to-be in dreams, go to http://www.improverse.com/ed-articles/theresa_danna_1997_feb_children_ofour_dreams.htm . However, please note that the e-mail address listed for me at the end of that article is no longer valid.

Feel free to pass this message along to other groups that are sensitive to paranormal experiences. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Theresa Danna
