Gongloff, Editorial Consultant IASD'S 2016 PLEDGE DRIVE BEGINS IN NOVEMBER For the past ten years or more, IASD has been providing major incentives to dreamers by way of The Ernest Hartmann Student Awards, the IASD Dream Research Awards, and the Nancy R. Brzeski Art Awards. The funding for these programs has come from IASD members just like you, donating through our annual Pledge Drive. This year, however, funds to support these programs have reached a dangerous low, as funders move on or financial situations change. Would you like to help us save and maintain these dynamic, important programs? Donate Now to the IASD 2016 Pledge Drive. You will have your choice of donation categories on the Pledge form. As always, donors will be listed on the 2016 Pledge Page online and those who contribute $150 or more will be listed on the page as IASD Patrons Donate Now by Clicking Here Together we can make a difference! CALL FOR ARTISTS TO PARTICIPATE IN DREAM BOOK DEADLINE DECEMBER 31 IASD is currently involved in the creation of books on dreams and we wanted to provide a chance for our IASD Arts community to participate. *Dreams: A Tutorial Reference* (tentative title) – deadline is December 31, 2016 – will examine all aspects of dreaming, from science and psychology to culture and the arts. To understand how art is typically used in therapy and as inspiration from dreams, we are surveying our IASD artist community, the results of which will be summarized and compiled into two separate chapters. The survey asks for short summaries from our artists as to how they use art in one or both of these ways and what process they go through. If you are interested in your work being mentioned or featured in either of these areas click here and complete the forms there. SUPPORT IASD WITH A SMILE Would you like to continue to support IASD?

CONSCIOUSNESS STUDIES ONLINE – UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND Foundations of Mind at UC Berkeley is a serious group of neuroscientists, biologists, quantum physicists, philosophers and consciousness researchers in related fields. Their overarching interest is cognitive science from the neural, informational, metabolic and phenomenal levels. In collaboration with the University of Ireland, Foundations of Mind warmly invites IASD members, friends and colleagues to register for exciting online courses in: consciousness, biosemiotics, and science and society. The University of Ireland offers a set of lectures and discussions that penetrate right to the heart of cutting edge science and arts in a variety of fields. At the University of Ireland, we are emphatically for education, not inculcation. Ireland has a tradition of schooled thought dating back at least 5,000 years, where sophisticated buildings with complex astronomical alignments were built at sites like Newgrange. We are the first college in Ireland to offer a bachelor's degree in Cognitive Science, which is the scientific study of mind. These courses start January 3, 2017, and are free of charge for full-time students.

In this issue of Hot Off the Press we will be focusing on flying dreams. The intention of this column is to publish links to evidence-based scientific articles on the study of dreams that are written for a non-research audience. WHAT IT MEANS WHEN YOU DREAM ABOUT FLYING, BY KATE MANNIX AND OSCAR FEATHERSTONE This is the fourth episode in the Telegraph video series, What Your Dreams Mean, that reveals the hidden meanings behind eight of the most regularly occurring dreams and suggests what they could represent in your day-to-day life. In the video, psychologist and dreams expert Ian Wallace interprets what it means when you dream about having the ability to fly. SOURCE: THE TELEGRAPH WHY WE LOVE TO FLY IN OUR DREAMS, BY CARA GIAIMO This blog explores the concept of how we fly in our dreams could be directly correlated with how we think.
