Imagine you could ask a question of a dream character, or the dream itself, and watch as a profoundly surprising response appears. Suppose you could take action in your dream to eliminate a recurring nightmare, heal a relationship, or even a physical ailment. The 100 dreamers in the IASD book Dreams That Change Our Lives have! Two years ago IASD began collecting dream stories from our members and those with an association to IASD, and we have compiled 100 of them into a book that will be available from Chiron in May 2017. These are what might be called big dreams – stories of life changing guidance, insight and healing; some that reach beyond the senses and even beyond death. They are presented as guideposts along our life's journey, and introduced by 22 internationally acclaimed experts, psychologists, researchers, and best-selling authors from the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD). The book is available for early order on the Chiron web site at Dreams That Change Our Lives. SUPPORT IASD WITH A SMILE Would you like to continue to support IASD?

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. DO YOU DREAM IN COLOR? BY DOUG FABRIZIO Laurie Rubin has been blind since birth, and she says people imagine her world to be a dark place. But the accomplished mezzo-soprano and lyricist experiences color all around her. She says yellow is an afternoon when birds are singing; green is her backyard; blue is an early morning or the key of G. Rubin is performing in Park City this weekend, and Thursday, she joins Doug to talk about growing up blind, learning to navigate the world, and dreaming in color. SOURCE: RADIO WEST KUER WHAT DREAMS ARE LIKE WHEN YOU’RE BLIND BY CARI ROMM Dreams are primarily visual, heavily influenced by the things we see while we’re awake (so much so, in fact, that people who grew up watching black-and-white television also tend to dream in grayscale).But when you don’t have any images to draw from, the brain is forced to use other materials to construct its dream world, creating sleeping scenarios rich in sensory information that would otherwise be confined to waking life.
