International Association for the Study Of Dreams

International Reminder for the Study of Dreams is a, international, multidisciplinary organization enthusiastic to the unpolluted and applied enquiry of dreams and dreaming. Our commitments are to encourage an responsiveness and obligation of dreams in both professional and public arenas; to encourage research into the nature, function, and meaning of dreaming; to advance the application of the study of dreams; and to provide a forum for the eclectic and interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and information. IASD rejoices the many benefits of dream work, yet recognizes that there are potential risks. IASD supports an approach to dream work and dream sharing that admirations the dreamer’s self-possession and integrity, and which make out the dreamer as the decision-maker regarding the significance of the dream. Systems of dream  work that assign   power or data of the dream’s significances to someone other than the dreamer can be misleading, incorrect, and harmful. Ethical hallucination work helps the fantasist work with his/her own dream metaphors, feelings, and associations, and guides the dreamer to supplementary fully experience, appreciate, and understand the dream. The primary objectives and purposes of this friendship shall be:(a) to promote a greater professional and communal appreciation of, aid awareness about, the dreaming process.(b) to provide a environment for the eclectic, interdisciplinary exchange of information among members of the systematic and qualified community and the general public who are studying and working with dreams to promote the undertaking of scientific research into the apparatus, role and function of dreams.(d) to provide a broad spectrum of didactic programs partaking appeal to professionals and dream whizzes (including, but not limited to, sleep physiologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, other therapists, dream group leaders, health care professionals, educators, and anthropologists) and to members of the general public(e) to periodically publish professional quality newsletters, papers and/or similar printed media containing articles and papers about dreaming, such materials to be available to the membership and to the general public.(f) to periodically compile a directory of persons and organizations actively and professionally studying at work with dreams (g) to sponsor conferences and other special events which are open to professionals and the general public which further the serious study and use of dreams.
