PLEDGE DRIVE: THERE'S STILL TIME TO CONTRIBUTE
As always, the IASD annual Pledge Drive will extend to the end of January
2017. This allows those of you who are working with annual taxes to
determine how much you will be able to send to your favorite dream
organization; and it allows IASD to remind all dreamers of the importance of
maintaining the activities funded by the Pledge Drive. This year, we are
hoping to maintain our support of Research Grants; the Ernest Hartmann
Student Awards and the Nancy R. Brzeski Art Awards . . . all being impacted
by a lack of ongoing funds.
Please help us preserve the programs which have, in the past fifteen years,
attracted so many students, researchers and innovative dream artists!

In this issue of Hot Off the Press we will be
focusing on the art of dream journaling. The intention of this column is
to publish links to evidence-based scientific articles on the study of
dreams that are written for a non-research audience.

REGIONAL NEWS
Hello Everyone! We passed the solstice and the light is coming back in
the Northern hemisphere and decreasing in tiny bits in the Southern
hemisphere, creating balance in the world.
My name is Susanne van Doorn
and I am a Dutch psychologist with a specialization in dreaming. Even
though I am trained as a Jungian, I am very interested in all the new
ways of working with dreams.
In
November I took over the Regional Representatives chair from
Susannah Benson, and I would
like to thank her very much for doing such an excellent job.
The Regional Reps are the people who bring
dreaming near you, sometimes even to your front door. I want to
encourage everyone who considers organizing a dream event, with or
without support from the IASD, to connect with me. I can give you
support and good advice. Together we can bring all the merits of
dreaming into the world.
We are looking for ways to organize an event in England, preferably in
Wales. If you are interested in participating, you can contact me.
