Join us for the 40th Annual International Dream Conference that will be held June 18 -22, 2023 at the Ashland Hills Hotels and Suites, in Ashland Oregon, home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival! You will be in good company with world renowned keynote speakers and more than 130 presenters sharing their work with dreams from 20 or more countries around the globe. This is more than just a conference; it is an extravaganza of fascinating presentations and special events. Everyone is welcome – whether you are a professional, a dreamworker, researcher, student, artist, performer, author, or simply a curious, interested dreamer.
The program features peer reviewed presentations, workshops, and morning dream groups, in a multidisciplinary program including the scientific, psychological, spiritual, artistic, healing, lucid, extraordinary and multicultural aspects of dreaming. There will be many fun events such as: an Opening Reception, a Dream Art Exhibition/Reception, our annual Dream Telepathy Contest, and the ever-popular costume Dream Ball.

IASD is offering a Hybrid track (onsite plus Zoom) as part of the 40th Annual International Conference. The Hybrid track will run during the four main days of the Conference. It is highlighted and marked as Hybrid on the Schedule at a Glance. It includes selected lecture sessions as well as the addresses by the invited research speakers Jayne Gackenbach and Mark Blagrove as Keynote.
