New Dream Events Calendar!

Sunday, August 21st, 2011

We’ve just added a new worldwide dream events calendar — and we’re hoping you’ll help us spread the word about dream workshops, classes, seminars, and other events that you know about so we can share them with others!

One Earth, One Dream comes to Portland, Oregon

Sunday, August 21st, 2011

Currently in development for live performance and studio recording in late Fall 2011, ONE EARTH/ONE DREAM will put professional writers, composers, and performers at the disposal of dreamers from then and now, here and there, so they can share their actual dreams of the healing and renewal of ourselves and our connections with the worlds of animals, our ancestors, and the earth. Check the website for previews and updates. Send us a dream at dreams@dreamslanding.org

Download the flyer.

Dreams Landing is an ensemble of writers, composers, artists, performers, consultants, and dreamers based in Portland, Oregon, who are convinced that the rejection of the invisible, transcendent realm of myth and dream has impoverished and endangered our world.

Their mission is the creation, performance and distribution of works and events which demonstrate the possibility of healing and renewal through access to mythology, the dream, the shared story and the arts. Specifically, they are working to bring together practitioners in psychology, mythology, spiritual traditions and the literary, visual and performing arts to offer audiences in the metropolitan Portland, Oregon area, the Pacific Northwest, and the wide world beyond a unique, interactive performance-centered educational experience.

The conflict, division, and seemingly unresolveable polarization we see around us every day come partly from our lost access to the realm of mystery and transcendence, where we experience our connectedness and our mutual creative possibility, despite all appearances. We are dedicated to devising innovative ways of experiencing together the images that come to us from this lost domain, so the story of renewal we so badly need can begin to take shape in the outer world.

Online Perspectives in Lucid Dreaming — coming in September

Sunday, August 21st, 2011

Wake Up! You’re Dreaming
PSIBERDREAMING CONFERENCE 2011: PERSPECTIVES ON LUCID DREAMING

This year’s tenth annual PsiberDreaming Conference, scheduled to run online for two weeks from Sunday, September 25 through Sunday, October 9, is themed for a discussion of lucidity–not just lucid dreaming, but lucid living, anda larger look at the variety of meanings lucidity implies.

Be aware that, if lucid dreaming has been a hot topic over the months since last year’s hit movie Inception, lucidity has been a hot topic in the dream community since The International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD) began. Thus the number and quality of IASD presenters for this year’s conference are extraordinary.

IASD includes dream researchers, therapists, teachers, dream-sharing group members and students of dream. It was founded over twenty years ago by longtime dream practitioners.

The IASD PsiberDreaming Conference offers papers and workshops online, with lively discussion threads for registrants. PsiberDreaming 2011 will also provide what has become standard conference fare: dream contests, where participants can test their psi dreaming skills; the PsiberDreaming Art Gallery; A Place for Dreams, where registrants can share their dreams; dream chats; and the ever-popular Outer Inn, for hanging out in cyberspace.

PsiberDreaming is an experience no dreamer should miss. Those who are not yet IASD members have an additional incentive, since all first-time members who join between now and October 9 will receive a FREE PASS to the PsiberDreaming Conference.

The Practical Lucid Dreamer Workshop

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

Robert Waggoner and Jacquie Lewis, PhD
Saturday, May 7, 2011, 9:00am – 12:00pm
Infinity Foundation, Highland Park, IL

Lucid dreaming, or the ability to become consciously aware in the dream state, offers a revolutionary tool for deeply investigating the nature of consciousness, dreaming and the mind. Scientifically validated in the late 1970’s, lucid dreaming has a long and profound spiritual and shamanic history. For example, the venerated Indian Buddhist yogi, Naropa, considered the practice of dream yoga (or lucid dreaming) as one of the six pathways to enlightenment.

In this workshop, you will be taught five specific practices to induce lucid dreaming by experienced instructors. More importantly, you will learn critical techniques to maintain the lucid dreaming state, and use it as a platform for psychological insight, personal healing and spiritual growth. Gaining from the insight of experienced lucid dreamers, you will learn how to focus your intent towards your personal and spiritual goals, while lucidly aware.

Modern neurologists are calling lucid dreaming a unique “hybrid state of consciousness.” Come and learn the power of your awakened mind.

Past President of the International Association for the Study of Dreams and author of the acclaimed book, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self, Robert Waggoner has logged a thousand lucid dreams. An enthusiastic lucid dream educator, Robert has spoken at national and international conferences, public radio and ABC News.

Jacquie Lewis, PhD is the co-director of the Dream Studies Certificate Program at Saybrook University. She also teaches Dream Studies at California Southern University and is an adjunct teacher at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. She is on the board of directors of the international Association for the Study of Dreams.
