@AllMindHealth1 @FreudMuseum @DreamScholars Perfectly in line with @osfashland - noting Midsummer night’s dream. Remembering his wife in his “precognitive” dream, gifting him with her dream art (pointed out by an audience member)

Prof. Mark Blagrove’s keynote speech on the evolution of the IASD, being called an “idiot” by the skeptical founder, inspired by the dreamwork founder to follow dream imagery projects with his wife.

@AllMindHealth1 @FreudMuseum @DreamScholars Painting Michael Rosen’s post-Covid coma “pulling through” dream, even losing one eye to #glaucoma - as well as inspiring conversations

@FreudMuseum @DreamScholars Dream sharing correlated with trait empathy, and increases state #empathy for the discusser towards the dreamer - due to applying the fiction (simulation of social worlds) to their waking life

Get you a dream #interpreter that respects all of the following throughout the process: make the most of the journey and the destination.

[Dr. DreamCatcher @Mr_Laughter]

@RedditDreams Main dream topics are animals, romance, characters; as well as curiosity for specific phenomena (reoccurring #romance with or distressing sex with dream characters). Otherwise less interest from #cultural historical pressures.

[Dr. DreamCatcher @Mr_Laughter]

The Rekshan Brothers present on #Dreaming in the #Digital Age - some apps using AI to attempt to interpret symbols, miniscule relative interest in dreams, even in sleep apps! Gotta get the word out! #iasd2023 @DreamScholars

[Dr. DreamCatcher @Mr_Laughter]

People want to find the #meaning of their dreams, or how to lucid dream, individually or with forums. Easier to find trustworthy sleep info that dream info (note trends without any substance). Even seeking how to, what meaning, or normality in dreaming. #reddit @RedditDreams

[Dr. DreamCatcher @Mr_Laughter]

@AllMindHealth1 Identifying cues and attempting lucid tasks, giving time signatures for comparing #sleep architecture! Any #Dream #Yogi practitioners are invited to reach out and participate in future studies!

@AllMindHealth1 Bringing in Dream #Yogi experts to analyse their specific meditation, waking and dreaming activities, at #lucid cue training

[Dr. DreamCatcher @Mr_Laughter]

Using Charlie Morley’s #dream #yoga to accept/dissolve/transform central images and emotions. Trying from a distance helps see better vantage points. Compares against the non #lucid focusing, sharing interaction with the dream nonetheless

Outgoing president Michelle Carr @DarwinsDreams presenting on #dream #yoga versus #nightmares! Ft. IRT, #iasd2023 @DreamScholars

[Dr. DreamCatcher @Mr_Laughter]

Using Dr. Ellis’ focusing-oriented #dreamwork to recover embodying the felt sense of the dream: see examples for buses #cats or #spiders - gaining info in “weird” realizations “am I making this up?” Accessing all dream characters
