The curtains have closed on the 2024 Annual Conference, marking the end of an event filled with insightful discussions, networking, and groundbreaking presentations.

After a successful event, the conference team deserves a well-earned break, but even as they rest, the anticipation for the next year’s conference is already sparking interest!

SAVE THE DATES for the 2025 DREAM CONFERENCE!

Currently there are many people around the globe reporting “Covid-19 dreams”, which reflect the unexpected situation in which we all find ourselves. Esteemed IASD members have been contributing interviews, articles and research on dreams during the pandemic. We hope you will find this compilation of information to be useful.

This portal includes photos and bios of IASD’s DAC members; a “Diversity Response” contact email; resources in the form of websites, publications, podcasts; and links to Diversity-related exercises for dreamers such as the powerful and healing dream-incubation exercise Dolores Nurss has initiated in the IASD Facebook Group.

Interest in dreams seems to be increasing all the time while, at the same time, people have to be very selective about what they want to read. The basic idea of dreamlinks is to provide links to articles on dreaming, dream research and other dream-related topics (rather than the articles themselves) to make selecting easier: one just has to click on the link to access the webpage of interest.

IASD is happy to offer online courses in the science and psychology of dreaming and in the science of lucid dreaming for those IASD members and non-members who would like to take these as part of an independent study program.
