My favorite dreams have an element that stands out because it is in color, from pink to various shades of red. The color points to what is central to my life at this precise moment. Amazingly the color is always a messenger from the land of light and freedom and its guidance is reassuring like the loving hand that guides the child to safety.

I first came to IASD in the '70s through the Montreal Jungian Society. This is a time when dreams began to occupy a central place in my life. Since then they have been a constant companion, a mysterious source of wisdom. Being connected to the IASD community is a great gift because I learn so much from this wide pool of knowledge, experience, and ongoing research. IASD is both stimulating and a source of nourishment for the soul.
