form ON LINE for each. Panel or symposia chairs must coordinate
all presenter materials and submit on one form. Do not have
co-presenters send separate documents - they may be cause for
rejection. All submissions must be via the online form – any
other form of submission will not be accepted.
Proceed as Follows:
STEP #1 - PRINT OUT THESE INSTRUCTIONS
(by pressing CTL + P on your keyboard) They contain important
content and format information you will need to prepare your

recalled for editing, we suggest you review the form in order to
collect the information you will need and to prepare the main
parts of your submission off-line so that you can copy or
cut/paste it into the online form. Future editing or changes can
be done but will require that the form be resubmitted in its
entirety.
Note that if you are proposing a multi-presentation session, you
as submitter must organize all of the materials for the various
presentations (names, bios, summaries, abstracts, etc.) into a
single submission form. So contact your other presenters, gather
their materials in accordance with the requirements of the form,
and determine the order of presentation.
STEP #4 - PREPARE THE MAIN TEXT OF YOUR SUBMISSION OFF-LINE
using a word processor such as MS Word or a text editor so you
can cut and paste the information into the online form:

single session with co-presenters, compile all of the
presenter's Vita's/Resume's into a single file document. NOTE:
The preferred format is MS Word (.doc), although we can accept
text (.txt), rich text format (.rtf), or MS Works (.wps) files.
Please do not send photo copies (.png, .jpg, etc.)

subsequently not accepted, then the following will apply: a)
your presenter discount will be honored if you attend; or b) if
you decide not to attend you will be given a full refund if you

Please be aware that scheduling is extremely tight and we must
remain fair to all submitters, including those whom we were
unable to fit into the program – we appreciate your courtesy to
them and to us in maintaining your commitment.
FORMAT INSTRUCTIONS
ABSTRACT
There is a 500 WORD LIMIT on all abstracts, so do a word count
on your document before cutting and pasting it into the online
field. Enter only ONE ABSTRACT PER PRESENTATION. Co-presenters
of a shared “Single” presentation and co-authors should NOT
enter additional abstracts.
ABSTRACT CONTENT
(1) Title of presentation, workshop, or special session
(2) Republishing of abstract - IASD reserves the right to edit
and reproduce abstracts on the IASD website or other
publications, including the International Journal of Dream
Research, unless you state clearly, "(Not to be published)” or
if you wish to exclude only IJOD then state “(Not to be
published in IJOD)" after the title. Note that in the event you
are planning to publish your work in future journals, we advise
you that the abstract from this conference should not contain a
level of detail or final data that might conflict with your
plans to publish elsewhere, because some journals are
restrictive.
(3) Presenter(s) and co-authors listed (with affiliations,
credentials - PhD, etc.) with primary presenter listed first
(4) A detailed description of the presentation as it is to
appear on the conference website. Please do not include charts
and graphs. Also note the **Necessary Abstract Information for
Workshops and Morning Dream Groups (below) required for
workshops and morning dream groups.
(5) Audience (for those requesting CE qualification): at the end
of the abstract, add a sentence that indicates the following:
(a) The target level of the audience: Introductory,
Intermediate, Advanced, For all audiences
(b) The aim of your presentation as it applies to this audience
(adapt one or more of the following four phrases to describe the
aim): Increasing personal self-awareness and emotional growth of
attendees; Increasing attendees' knowledge about dream research
and theories; Training licensed mental health and professionals
and graduate students about using dreams in clinical practice;
or Increasing spiritual or psychic awareness.
**Necessary Abstract Information for Workshops and Morning Dream
Groups
Abstracts for Workshops and Morning Dream Group proposals must
contain the following additional information:
1) Specific Methods or Techniques to be utilized during the
workshop or group meeting, such as Ullman's dream group approach
or Gestalt Therapy dialogues. Note whether any dream
interpretation will be performed and who will be presented as
the “ultimate authority” on the meaning of that interpretation
(it is important to review IASD Ethics statement in this area);
2) Activities in which attendees will be encouraged to
participate, such as using expressive arts techniques like
mandala drawing or dance, role play or acting out the dream,
breaking into dyads for discussion, group discussions, etc.;
3) The approximate Time Planned for didactic introduction, group
discussion, and workshop techniques. Note that workshops are
intended to be experiential but will typically contain didactic
portions to introduce the underlying theory, methods and
illustrations. The didactic portion should not exceed 25% to 30%
of the total workshop time. A lengthy lecture with short periods
of interaction, is not considered a workshop. If your “workshop”
is to be structured in this fashion please indicate this so that
we can consider what options might be available for its
inclusion in the program.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND EVALUATION QUESTIONS
Each PRESENTATION submission - not just those for CE - must
include learning objectives and evaluation questions. Artistic
events or presentations of a purely entertainment nature are
exempt (place N/A in the field). On the submission form it is
required that you complete THREE (3) Learning Objectives and
THREE (3) Evaluation Questions for each presentation in your
submission. Any submission with fewer than three will be
declined. (There is a limit of 25 words for each learning
objective or evaluation question or 150 total for the six
items.)
Learning Objective Format
The three (3) learning objectives are to be observable and
measurable learning outcomes that clearly describe what the
learner will know or be able to do as a result of having
attended your presentation. The learning objectives MUST: a)
match the content of your proposal as described in your title,
summary, and abstract, and b) use active verbs that indicate
what will be taught, demonstrated or experienced.
Verbs to consider: identify, summarize, list, describe,
differentiate, explain, demonstrate, utilize, analyze, design,
select, create, plan, assess, compare, critique. Verbs to avoid:
know, understand, learn, appreciate, become aware of, become
familiar with.
Here are some examples of well-written learning objectives using
active verbs:
Participants who attend this presentation will be able to:
1. List three attributes of posttraumatic nightmares.
2. Compare and contrast the characteristics of night terrors
versus nightmares.
3. Describe three clinical techniques to use with trauma
survivors suffering from disturbing nightmares.
Evaluation Question Format
The three (3) evaluation questions are to be questions which
participants should be able to answer after attending your
presentation. These three questions should be based on the three
learning objectives and must be consistent with the content of
your proposal as described in your title, summary, and abstract,
so that attendees can demonstrate their knowledge of the stated
learning objectives.
Here are examples of well-written evaluation questions that are
keyed to the learning objectives stated in the example above:
1. Can you name three key attributes of posttraumatic
nightmares?
2. Are you able to mention two characteristics that
differentiate night terrors from nightmares?
3. Can you describe two techniques that have been shown to be
effective with trauma survivors suffering from disturbing
nightmares?
IASD DREAMWORK ETHICS STATEMENT
(MUST READ BEFORE COMPLETING SUBMISSION)
All submitters will be required on the submission form to
positively indicate that they have read and will adhere to the
following Ethics statement and principles. If you are planning a
multi-presentation session then your indication of ethics
adherence implies that all presenters in your session have read
and agreed so it is your duty to send this statement to all in
your group and gain compliance. Any submission which does not
adhere will not be accepted.
"IASD celebrates the many benefits of dreamwork, yet recognizes
that there are potential risks. IASD supports an approach to
dreamwork and dream sharing that respects the dreamer's dignity
and integrity, and which recognizes the dreamer as the
decision-maker regarding the significance of the dream. Systems
of dreamwork that assign authority or knowledge of the dream's
meanings to someone other than the dreamer can be misleading,
incorrect, and harmful. Ethical dreamwork helps the dreamer work
with his/her own dream images, feelings, and associations, and
guides the dreamer to more fully experience, appreciate, and
understand the dream. Every dream may have multiple meanings,
and different techniques may be reasonably employed to touch
these multiple layers of significance. A dreamer's decision to
share or discontinue sharing a dream should always be respected
and honored. The dreamer should be forewarned that unexpected
issues or emotions may arise in the course of the dreamwork.
Information and mutual agreement about the degree of privacy and
confidentiality are essential ingredients in creating a safe
atmosphere for dream sharing. Dreamwork outside a clinical
setting is not a substitute for psychotherapy, or other
professional treatment, and should not be used as such. IASD
recognizes and respects that there are many valid and
time-honored dreamwork traditions. We invite and welcome the
participation of dreamers from all cultures. There are social,
cultural, and transpersonal aspects to dream experience. In this
statement we do not mean to imply that the only valid approach
to dreamwork focuses on the dreamer's personal life. Our purpose
is to honor and respect the person of the dreamer as well as the
dream itself, regardless of how the relationship between the two
may be understood.
Prepared by the IASD Ethics Committee
Carol Warner, Chair
Association for the Study of Dreams
Spring, 1997
In keeping with these broad principles, the Association
considers it unethical, at its own conferences and programs, for
members to use direct solicitation or persuasion for economic or
self-aggrandizement. While personal works may be included in
your biographical sketch or referenced during the talk when
appropriate to support the discussion, advertising and selling
of books or services during presentations is inappropriate to
the nature of this conference and thus prohibited. Presenters
are expected to be honest and accurate in the communication of
their own credentials and competencies. All proposals should
reflect educational, ethical, non-intrusive goals and methods,
and presenters should not practice therapy nor make impractical
claims. For example, workshops conducted in a manner that
implies that the leader is the ultimate authority on the meaning
of the dream, rather than the dreamer, are unacceptable.
