Coming Soon to Your Mailbox: Electronic and Postal In honor of this event, and in keeping with the respect IASD offers to its global membership, we will be asking you during September to TAKE THE DREAMTIME SURVEY! DreamTime is changing its editorial staff, and there has been Board discussion about changing the DreamTime format as well. If you are an IASD member, you will be given two important opportunities this month to give us feedback: A print version of the survey will be mailed to you as part of the Fall issue of DreamTime. You can mail this survey to the IASD office; or wait until mid-September, when the survey will be sent to Members online. (Only one survey per member, whether in print or electronic version). Please take this opportunity to let your opinions be heard. Help IASD to celebrate in style! IN MEMORIAM: WE REMEMBER ERNEST HARTMANN
We honor the life and work of Ernest Hartmann who passed August 7, 2013 in Truro, MA at age 79. Born in Vienna to renowned ego-psychology founder Heinz Hartmann and child psychoanalyst Dora Hartmann, Ernest’s favorite childhood anecdote was that as a toddler he had been introduced to Sigmund Freud who had patted him on the head. Ernest’s career in psychiatry was an impressive one with residencies at Harvard’s Mass Mental Health Center, NIMH in Maryland and Tufts Medical School. He also directed the Sleep Disorders Center at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Ernest became especially interested in a trait of sensitivity he termed “thin boundaries,” which correlated with nightmares and also frequent dream recall in general. That “dreams make connections,” and contain a “central image” representing their dominant emotion, that dreams and poetry are deeply similar--these were central points in his later papers and books. In 1986, Ernest was invited as a keynote speaker to the 3rd annual conference in Ottawa. He’d only just heard of IASD, but we were all admirers of his work. By the end of the conference, Ernest found himself President Elect, with some joking that he should probably join the organization before he took office. He was our president, and then founding editor-in-chief of the journal DREAMING--for which he used his influence to get major names in dream research like Rosalind Cartwright, David Foulkes, and Calvin Hall into the inaugural issue. Most would say that Ernest embraced every aspect of the incredibly complex creature that is IASD. Ernest never slowed down: in 2011, he published The Nature and Function of Dreaming--his final book on dreams, another on his boundary concept, and a book of his poems! He concluded in this last book, “After all my years of trying, I do not completely understand dreaming . . . have I really discovered something? Or have I created something, invented something? Does it matter? Are the two processes — discovery and creation — really separable?”
The day before Ernest died, Mopsy Kennedy--a friend from Ernest’s local
dream-sharing group--reported the last dream he’d shared with the group
was about throwing a gorgeous shimmering Frisbee into a bright blue sky
which then blended into the deep blue ocean. Mopsy indicated that Ernest
saw it as a beautiful image of the ultimate departure; one of his
“central images.” You can read the entire tribute to Dr. Hartmann in this Fall’s issue of DreamTime Magazine
This month we are continuing with the theme of dream groups facilitated
by IASD Members.
