Dear blog friends

Last year the International Association for the Study of Dreams, IASD chose to have its annual congress in Europe, in Rolduc’s magnificent abbey in the Netherlands.

This year the International Congress will take place in Berkeley, California.

“Everyone dreams every single night. Now you have a special opportunity to understand and explore your dreams at the Sailing on the Sea of Dreams Conference, June 22-26, 2012.

This five day conference offers over 200 workshops, seminars and exhibits on all aspects of dreaming and is open to the public.

Sponsored by the International Association for the Study of Dreams, there are special programs with CE credits for psychotherapists and professionals, as well as many sessions of interest to the general public.

Hear and meet dozens of world-famous authors, researchers, and experts on dreams. Participate in the biggest dream conference ever held!

For information and registration, visit ASDREAMS.ORG.”

The dreams Conference takes place in the splendid Double Tree Hotel in Berkeley, a wonderful setting.

I hope you will have the opportunity to attend the Conference. I wish I could, but because it is so far, I will forego this special time with the other IASD members I was so pleased to meet last year in Rolduc.

Nevertheless my activities regarding dreams continue.

Now here’s some news about my activities in France :

In January I led a seminar on “Meaning of Christian symbols in  dreams”.

In February I was in the North of France in Amiens, well known for its marvellous cathedral, miraculously saved during world war 2.

There I held a conference : “Dreams and the Bible”.  The Bible actually relates nearly 250 dreams, through which the Divine directly speaks to human.

Over the week-end I held a dream interpretation initiation seminar. For the first time the attendees discovered the wisdom of this inner voice speaking to them during the night. They were so delighted at understanding how to decipher dreams, that some of them immediately signed up for an other seminar at the end of March.

During two five day intensive dream interpretation seminars, I will teach dream interpretation next summer : students will experience practical training on each other’s dreams. That ‘s why I work only with small groups.

From July 23rd –27th, the first will take place in the noble old city St Germain en Laye, famous for its castle.

The other, 6- 11 August, will be held in Provence, Southern France in the antique small village Antonaves.

Would it be that the interest in dreams and dreaming is awakening in France ?
