California Dreaming - ASD Conference in Santa Cruz he Association for the Study of Dreams 16th International Conference July 6-10, 1999 University of California, Santa Cruz www.asdreams.org  

IMAGINE walking down a curving path through the redwoods, emerging into a meadow just in time to catch the sunset flaming across the Pacific. As you pause to watch the sky darken and the stars emerge, you hear only bird calls and the sound of the breeze through the tall grasses. The presentations you heard today were fascinating, and you reflect on each of them, smiling as you make connections between what you've heard, your own dreams, and the dreams of those you know. Breathing in the clean scent of sea and woods, you make your way back to rejoin the community of dreamers, friends old and new, just now settling down for dinner and lively conversation.

PLAN NOW TO ATTEND the Sixteenth Annual ASD Conference, to be held July 6-10,1999 in Santa Cruz, California, site of two past ASD conferences. The meeting will be on the stunning campus of the University of California, with its miles of hiking trails, tranquil redwood groves, and meadows providing 180 degree views of the Pacific. Accommodations will be in recently built apartments a short stroll away from the hustle and bustle of the conference, a lovely place to relax, socialize, and take in all the natural beauty of the setting.

WHO'S WHO? Conference Host Veronica Tonay will reprise her command performance, as she played a crucial role in the two previous Santa Cruz conferences in 1988 and 1992 which were highly successful. A triumvirate of visionary Program Co-chairs: Deirdre Barrett, Johanna King, and Richard Russo, will be orchestrating a cornucopia of dozens of fascinating workshops, symposia, presentations, and events. For the 1999 Conference , the ultimate continuing education track is being planned by ASD C.E. Maven, Alan Siegel. And, an outstanding internet salon will materialize simultaneously in Santa Cruz and Cyberspace with the help of of ASD Webmaster Richard Wilkerson. Fariba Bogzaran will return to create another art show extraordinaire. Plus, we will have the latest research findings, networking with regional dream organizations, book signings with world-famous authors, lots of time to schmooze with experts and old friends, and as always, the Masquerade Dream Ball conference finale.

     RESEARCH    &   REQUESTS

Life-Altering Dreams for Television Pilot
I'm looking for people who have had bizarre, fascinating, or life-altering dreams for a television show pilot I'm producing. These are dreams that woke you in a cold sweat...dreams that frightened you, shocked you, or had a lasting impression on your life. The show will re-enact your dream with actors and give you the opportunity to meet with dream experts and find out what those dreams really mean. Please visit my web site at: http://home.earthlink.net/~davegardner/   or e-mail me at : davegardner@earthlink.net  

Male Bereavement Dream Series
Men who have suffered a tragic loss by death of a child, spouse, or lover and were recording their dreams at the time, are being solicited for a publication in progress on bereavement dreams, transcendence and the healing process. The recorded dream period should be 6 months or longer following a death that occurred at least two years ago. Research is being conducted by Geri Grubbs, Ph.D., Jungian analyst. She would like to work closely with the participants, which will involve gathering the dreams together, copying or recording them with associations, and some telephone discussions. If you think you may be interested in participating, please contact Geri Grubbs by telephone at (408) 867-9019, or through e-mail at gegrubbs@compuserve.com .

Dreams, Visions and Their Effects on Art
My name is Margo and I am a year twelve student at Cardijn College, South Australia. As part of my Art course I am required to complete a year long study to acquire the necessary marks. The topic I have chosen to research for my special study is "Dreams, Visions and their effects on art." My study involves collecting as much information as possible on the topic, research, conducting surveys, questionnaires and to become an "expert" on the subject. I need as much information as possible. I would be most grateful if you could send any information on any thing that links dreams, visions and art together. An interview, if appropriate would also be very helpful either by phone or in person. If you are unable to help me maybe you could to refer me to someone who could. Any information on anything to do with art, dreams or visions would be of great use to me. Thank you for your help Margo Clark, 14 Geoffery Ave., Pt. Noarlunga, S.A. 5167. Telephone: (08) 8384 8317.
