Want to find a community that cares about dreams as much as you do? The IASD is a massively multi-disciplinary group of people interested in dreams from scientists to psychologists, artists and dream enthusiasts. We cover topics from spirituality to lucid dreaming to clinical applications and the science of sleep. When I found the IASD I felt like I had found my tribe.
Our guest today is IASD Conference Manager Bob Hoss. If you are interested, you can find out more about the fully virtual IASD Conference June 13-17 at IASDconferences.org/2021/
Bob Hoss tells us several dreams that helped him keep his emotional equilibrium during the nerve-wracking processes of canceling the conference in 2020 and while preparing for the virtual event in 2021. The way he works with his dreams gives some wonderful examples of how dreams work with our feelings and help us make decisions even when we don’t remember them.
We take a call from Sarah from Santa Cruz who asks about using lucid dreaming to help her with specific family issues and also asks about a recurring theme about dreaming of losing her teeth.
