The organization was originally named the Association for the Study of Dreams (ASD).[nb 1][5][7]
Scope
editAttracting "a 'rainbow coalition' of scientists, scholars, therapists, cultural practitioners, artists, and the general public",[8] the organization publishes scientific research across all dream-related subjects, including dreams in analytical psychology, oneirology, dreamwork, oneiromancy, and lucid dreaming via its:
- International Association for the Study of Dreams Conference[1][2][3][4][9]―annual conference alternating locations across the globe, held since 1984[10][11]
- Dreaming―a journal[1][2][6][12] published by the American Psychological Association (APA) on behalf of IASD since 1991
- International Journal of Dream Research (IJoDR) (ISSN: 1866–7953)[13]―peer-reviewed, indexed in APA's PsycINFO and Elsevier's Scopus databases since 2008,[14] and published on Heidelberg University Library servers[15]
- Funding and endorsement: The IASD has provided research grants,[16] and has endorsed projects such as an art exhibition in Vienna and Paris from 1999 to 2001 and an associated book, Dreams 1900-2000.[17]
Writing in 1989, psychology professor, Harry T. Hunt states that "on an organizational level, the Sleep Research Society (srs) and its small cluster of researchers focusing on physiological, neurocognitive, and content analysis approaches to dreams have been supplemented by a more eclectic organization, the Association for the Study of Dreams (asp) [sic]. Within ASD, a diverse group of Freudian, Jungian, existential, and other psychologists interested primarily in dream interpretation and 'dreamwork' has banded together with others attempting to relate dreams to altered states of consciousness and transpersonal psychology, and a small number of srs experimenters."[18]
Writing more recently, in 2017, historian and academic, Jonson Miller states that "[t]he IASD is a scholarly association for the study of dreams, including dream interpretation, dreams in culture, creativity and dreams, the physiology of dreaming, and lucid dreaming. They publish two magazines and a newsletter, hold conferences (both traditional and online), and provide classes on dream work. Their website has many useful resources, including bibliographies, videos, podcasts, recordings from past conferences, and even images from dream art exhibitions."[19]
