Gongloff, Editorial Consultant IASD VIDEO PREMIERE The membership committee is pleased to announce the release of our very first IASD promotional video. We'd like to express our sincere gratitude to professional film-maker, Christine Anderson, for producing it. Christine originally made her mark in the television industry, part of an “elite club” as a sought after multi-camera director, videographer, and producer before establishing her business as a private contractor. We’re very fortunate that Christine is also a “big dreamer.” Her understanding and passion for dreams comes through as she weaves individual interviews together to create one message of enthusiasm and support for IASD’s unique community for dreamers worldwide. IASD has short and long-term initiatives for video use, beginning with promotions for conference attendance. Join us for the big premiere! Watch the video now and feel free to share it with your friends and colleagues. New members who join today can save up to $310 on conferences in April, May, and June.

IASD MEMBER INTERVIEWED FOR RADIO AND TELEVISION Craig Sim Webb had the honor to be interviewed for Kentucky TV channel 6, two radio shows (including iHeart radio), as well as to offer an invited presentation about dream creativity based on his new book "The Dreams Behind the Music" for a large audience of music lovers and others in Toronto on March 4, 2017 as part of a new music concert series. In this issue of Hot Off the Press we will be focusing on déjà vu and dreams. 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. DEJA VU AND DREAMS REALLY COMING TRUE Dreams can and DO come true. But it is a bit more complex than you may think, and many who have not experienced dreams like this can find it confusing. How is it possible for dreams to come true? This article will explore a personal account of déjà vu and precognitive dreams. SOURCE: EXEMPLORE DREAMS EXPERT: DEJA VU, PREGNANCY, NATURAL DISASTERS BY GRACE LEE Déjà Vu is a feeling of having a memory but without any facts to support that you experienced it before. One theory is that thoughts just pop into your mind, so this could be the result of a false memory playing tricks on your mind. Others say that it is déjà vu and it tends to happen to people who tend to be more spiritual, introspective or into meditating because they're looking for meaning in their dreams.

After a season of much snow, the light is about to return in the Northern hemisphere. My dreams are filled with positive images of finding my path. I hope your dreams encourage you as well. At times like this, we dreamers must stand together and focus on all the light we are able to distribute in the world, even if it is just small, like a smile to a stranger on the street. We are looking forward to two upcoming events in April and May; one is the Southern Dreaming Regional Conference. Dreams are modern myths, filled with archetypes. On May 13 there is the Dream Creations, Film art and Poetry event in New York.
