A group of teachers and students from the Oklahoma City School of Metaphysics recently visited the Jacobson House Native Art Center to assist people in dream interpretation. It is common knowledge that all people experience having dreams but never quite understanding the meaning of it.

Oklahoma City School of Metaphysics professor Doug Banister stated in an interview with local media that dreams usually give the person an insight in his or her life. He stressed that these should not be ignored because they are meaningful regardless of what those images are. He cited an example wherein dreams about clothes usually mean a person’s way of expressing himself while hands represent life’s purpose.

The group had a great time at the center and the activity lasted for the entire day. Aside from that, a group of artists were also present to paint out the images of common dreams while the school’s students discuss to the visitors the meaning of each.

The event was part of the national Dream Awareness Weekend, a regular activity conducted by the school. In the past, dream interpretations were usually done over the phone but organizers thought that it’s time to take things to another level.

The International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD) is set to hold an Internet Conference. The monumental event starts on the 21st of September and goes on until the 5th of October. This will be the seventh time that the IASD holds their conference online. This year’s event will be tackling the basics of dreams as well as the future of dreaming.

Dream researchers and dream aficionados can look forward to hearing from important speakers such as Kelly Bulkeley, Ph. D. Bulkeley was the former president of IASD. He will tackle the issue of how dreams can affect the outcome of the upcoming American elections. Joining Bulkeley will be PMH Atwater, Dream expert Robert Moss and Stephan Schwartz.

The conference on dreams will not only feature great speakers, it will also put a highlight on dream related art and contests. Over 20 presenters from all types of dream research will be present for the conference.

A document named ‘Dreaming the Future of Dreams’ will be one of the conference’s highlights. The said document is filled with articles from noteworthy people including Robert Van de Castle. Van de Castle is the former director of the University of Virginia’s Dream Laboratory.
Registration for the conference is found at the IASD website.
