Understanding and Incubating Dreams
with Gayle Delaney PhD.

Description: When we dream, we speak to ourselves in the language of
pictures and metaphors. Understanding this dreaming language opens the door
to creativity and insight that can greatly enhance our lives. Dr. Delaney
and our host Bob Hoss will discuss some simple techniques you can use for
understanding your nightly dreams. Gayle will describe her method of
interpretation called the Dream Interview that you can use on your own or
with a friend. The Dream Interview replaces old wives' tales as well as old
psychiatrist's interpretive pronouncements with a series of carefully
crafted questions that allow you to discover your own private meanings. She
will also discuss how we can target dreams for specific problem solving with
her method of Dream Incubation.

Gayle Delaney PhD, founding president of the International Association for
the Study of Dreams, Co-director of the Delaney & Flowers Dream Center in
San Francisco and author of 7 publications including In Your Dreams, All
About Dreams and Sexual Dreams.

- Dream Fires at Vernal Equinox

Dream Fires at Vernal Equinox
21st March 19.30- 21.30 p.m.
Danish Association for the Study of Dreams (FFSD)

At vernal equinox day and night are of equal length. Light and darkness
meet, and we move along with Spring into a period of increasing light.

-- From olden times such passages have been important to the culture, to the
inner and outer growth, and to man's attachment to and respect for the
rhythm of the earth.

The Association is intent to reiterate at each vernal equinox this ritual,
which is based on old traditions, renewing it with contemporary meaning.

We shall use our dreams as a portal into the inner world and through the
fire unite with the power of nature. Contacting the dreams and the fires
will create a connection between people on this earth as well as a tangible
and shared network of light and consciousness.

We invite everybody to meet in small or large groups, public or private, on
this particular evening. Or, of course, do it on their own.

We suggest to follow below points so as to create a common reference, thus
intensifying the bond and facilitating the sharing of experiences:

1. Time and date: Wednesday 21st March 19.30 - 21.30 p.m.
2. The participants to gather in groups. If you are alone, you might
visualize the connection to other groups or participants.
3. A fire to be lit, or alternatively a candle symbolizing the fire.
4. The participants to share their dreams around the fire. This can be done
in different ways like e.g. telling the dreams, drawing them or showing
drawings of them. Meditation, songs, dance, and music are other options.
5. Dream incubation. Before the end of the ritual to focus on the dreams of
the coming night. Each individual to visualize the fire before going to
sleep.
6. Reflection. Anybody having the desire and energy to do so, is invited to
share their evening by mailing experiences, thoughts, dreams, drawings, etc.
to the Association.

The material that we receive will be edited and maybe put on our website.

We intend to present our Equinox Dreams Project at the North European Dream
Conference in Lincoln, England next September. The theme of this conference
is Dreams and Culture.

We do hope that the above will inspire you to participate. If you have any
questions, you are welcome to put them to us by mail to mail@...

The International Association for the Study of Dreams Presents The Bay Area
Lecture Series

March 7 at the Dream Institute in Berkeley
Dreams and Personal Transformation with Bob Hoss, M.S.
Author of Dream Language and Executive Officer of IASD


The great luminary of the dream world, Carl Jung, observed that if dreams
have an ultimate plan in mind, it is a natural tendency towards establishing
balance and wholeness.

Jung described this as a process of transformation, a cyclical and
evolutionary process that can last throughout a night of dreams or a
lifetime.

Our dreams both reflect the stages of this transformation, and help to bring
it about. In this lecture and workshop you will learn how to recognize
transforming imagery even in your everyday dreams, how to understand what
the dream means to you in your life's situation, and how to work with it to
change your life. You will learn a simple Gestalt based technique to reveal
hidden feelings, conflicts, fears and desires that may be holding back your
progress in life; followed by a closure technique designed to use your dream
to project a potential path to wholeness. A worksheet will be provided.

Bob Hoss, M.S., is the author of the book Dream Language, Executive Officer
and former President of the International Association for the Study of
Dreams. As a scientist with training in Gestalt work, he has been teaching
dreamwork for over 30 years. He is on the faculty of the Haden Institute for
dream leadership training, and the adjunct faculty of Sonoma State
University. He frequently appears on radio and TV and his book was recently
featured nationally on ABC TV and in Readers Digest. Currently Bob Hoss is
hosting a thirteen-week radio show, Dream Time the Radio Show on Voice
America's health channel. This show features interviews with IASD experts.
