I’m interested in …
- dream research papers and articles
- There are some papers in the journal Dreaming and the Dream Time sections online. Many of our articles are in hard copy print. As a member you receive both. The journal Dreaming is available at many major libraries and universities.
- an interpretation for my dream
- The focus on this site is the general exploration and study of dreams and dreaming, not specific interpretations. We recommend you read our ethics statement before soliciting or offering any dream interpretation.
- The International Association for the Study of Dreams acknowledges the value and importance of the study of dreams and recognizes the responsibility inherent in such study and its consequent applications. The Association encourages its members to exemplify the highest standards of ethical behavior in whatever involvement they may have with dreams. Members are thus encouraged to do their utmost to respect the rights and dignity of other persons; to be honest, accurate and open-minded in the presentation of information and ideas; to insure privacy and confidentiality in dealing with clients, research subjects or members of the general public; and to prevent and avoid any situation where a conflict of interest may compromise the capacity for making prudent and objective decisions and responses.
- 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. Presenters are expected to be honest and accurate in the communication of their own credentials and competencies.
