THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES IN PHARAONIC EGYPT BY KASI SZPAKOWSKA

The image of Egyptian magicians, dream interpreters, incubation temples, and the dreams of pharaohs have become so much a part of popular Western culture that you may be surprised to learn, until quite recently, there has been no comprehensive treatment of Egyptian dreams.

Call for Artists for the 2016 PsiberDreaming Online Gallery

IASD PsiberDreaming Gallery Team

This year’s PsiberDreaming Conference theme is “Tuning in to the Frequency”. We’ll tune in to the sights and sounds in symbols and messages that reach out to us in our dreams. We could consider the rhythm of dream cycles, the repetition of dream scenes, or the possibility that we are on the same wavelength in a mutual dream. With the myriad of daily influences upon our minds, can we block out the noise, and select the right frequency to understand or enhance our dream’s meaning? Artwork can also refine and bring clarity to a dream message. Do you have artwork that you would like to share this year in the IASD PsiberDreaming Online Gallery that resonates with the conference theme?

The PsiberDreaming Art Gallery is looking for your creative submission. Whether you are a professional artist or non-artist, the online gallery provides an additional avenue of expression, taking viewers along on a visual journey as you tell the dream. We appreciate each submission to the gallery, and are inspired by the artwork and the dream story. We hope that this gallery will serve first and foremost as a place where dreamers of all levels of artistic ability are encouraged to display artwork based on their dreams. We value the authenticity of the connection between the original dream and the work that follows it. We look forward to your entry as we consider “Tuning in to the Frequency.”

Eligibility: Your original work in any medium inspired by and depicting dreams. Acceptable submissions include paintings, drawings, journal sketches, digital artwork, photography, doodles, cartoons, poetry, crafts, textiles, sculpture, poetry, music and animation. Only PsiberDreaming conference attendees’ gallery entries will be accepted, so that artists and other conference members have greater opportunity to connect and discuss the gallery. Your entry must be accompanied by text that tells your dream. Due to time constraints, we limit art gallery submissions to one work per artist.

Images and text will be displayed in an online dream journal format. Please submit your entry using the online form with the dimensions of 8″x10″ and at least 150 dpi. Children under the age of 18 must have parental permission and signature to be included.

How to submit: The deadline for submissions is Midnight EDT, Sunday, September 11.  All submissions must be made online using this form >>>  Please send questions to the art gallery team: psiart@asdreams.org

CALL FOR DREAM ART ENTRIES NOW ON WEBSITE

The 2017 Juried Dream Art Exhibition will be held in conjunction with the annual conference at Anaheim.
We are now accepting original art work about or inspired by dreams.

Note: an entrant can create a piece inspired by someone else’s dream. Deadline: February 15, 2017.

All two-dimensional and multi-dimensional media will be considered, including painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, video, and installation art.

Cash awards will be offered for works chosen from among those accepted for display at the conference. Information regarding entry requirements is located here.

In addition to the standard Call for Grant Proposals targeted for dream related research, we are pleased to announce an additional joint research grant activity this year in cooperation with ACEP (Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology).
