Watch Your Dreams - in the Newspaper! Nancy Huseby Bloom has had a dream column in the Spokesman Review Newspaper in Spokane, WA for over 3 years. People send in their dreams through the paper and she calls the dreamers and together they work on possible meanings. She then writes a column based on their work and her knowledge of dreams. This work has been received very well and my column is now in six newspapers (in the Features section) including: Spokesman Review in Spokane, WA on Thursdays, The Albuquerque Tribune in Albuquerque, NM on Tuesdays , The Journal Inquirer in Manchester, CT on Mondays, The Gazette in Colorado Springs, CO on Saturdays, The Detroit News in Detroit, MI, and The Fresno Bee in Fresno, CA on Mondays. Nancy's purpose in creating this column is to promote dreamwork and get it in the mainstream to help raise the consciousness of our world. If you would like to see her weekly in your home town, please contact your local newspaper and give them her phone number and/or address and if contacted, she will send them a sample packet of her weekly columns. She can be contacted at: Nancy Huseby Bloom, P.O. Box 8739, Spokane, WA 99203. Phone: (509) 935-455-3450 ASD 1999 Conference in Santa Cruz

Egypt and Israel December-January 1999-2000 Drumming A Dream: Music As A Soul
Making Path W O R K S H O P Saturday, August 8, 1998 C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles 10349 West Pico Boulevard Los Angeles, California 90064 U.S.A. $70 regular $60 students/seniors CE, CME, CN credit available This workshop presents a fun and illuminating journey into the art and metaphor of drums and percussion. Archetypal images, created sounds and clinical dreams of drumming will be amplified in relation to the cultivating of one's life as art-form. Using drums and rhythmic exercises, participants will be invited to a day's meditation on: the chthonic nature underlying personal spiritual discipline; integrating one's inferior function as creative process; and numinous experience as mending ego-Self rupture. The focus throughout this workshop will be on engaging with art's integrative contributions toward the soul's individuation. Live drumming will be featured throughout, both to stimulate and to illustrate the activity of the psyche. Suggested Reading: African Rhythm and African Sensibility by J.M. Chernoff; The Healing Drum by Y. Olallo and M. Hall; Through Music to the Self by P.M. Hamel. Participants are requested to bring a hand drum. Robert Weathers, Ph.D., is in the Analyst Training Program at the C. G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and has studied popular and ethnic drumming over thirty years. He is a professor of Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University. http://home.earthlink.net/~junginla/

Skilled Lucid Dreamers Wanted to Participate in
Scientific Research Lucidity Institute Experiment: Tibetan Dream Yoga Meets Western Power Napping Sleep Posture, the Nasal Cycle, and Naps For over 1,000 years, the Tibetan Buddhists have been practicing lucid dreaming as a means of approaching enlightenment. In this pursuit, they have developed elaborate techniques for inducing lucidity. Some of these are esoteric beyond the capacity of the uninitiated Western mind to conceive, let alone practice. However, others bear a striking resemblance to the techniques now employed by Western oneironauts, for example, frequent reflection throughout the day on the dreamlike nature of reality. The Lucidity Institute is grateful to the Fetzer Institute, which has provided them with funding to investigate the value of ancient Tibetan lucid dreaming induction techniques in the West. One such avenue which has been little explored to date is that of posture during sleep. They have conducted a few NightLight experiments over the years in this area. However, the number of participants has been too small to allow reliable conclusions. Thus, they are once more offering an experiment investigating sleep posture and nasal laterality (an ancient Yogic technique for influencing states of mind), combined this time with the extraordinarily powerful napping technique of inducing lucid dreams. Thus, this experiment has two goals. One is to further refine the nap technique, which we have found to be the most effective of all for inducing lucid dreams. This study will help establish whether 30 or 60 minutes of wakefulness inserted in the latter part of a night's sleep is more likely to lead to lucidity. Second, they wish to clarify the results of a previous NightLight experiment on nasal laterality, gender and lucid dreaming. Some Tibetan lore suggests that men and women should sleep on opposite sides, because their energy channels are reversed. They would like to find out if this is fact or superstition. They have made this experiment as simple as possible so that more of you will participate. By using naps, they expect to collect a lot more lucid dreams than in previous attempts, and that's good news for participants as well! Please join in this endeavor and help bring Tibetan Dream Yoga to life in the West. If you are interested in participating, please email The Lucidity Institute with your postal address and we will send you a copy of the NightLight experiment. We will also make the experiment available online at our website ( http://www.lucidity.com ) in Adobe pdf format.
