The 2025 Annual Conference will be Virtual: In order to be able to reach the broadest global audience this year at a lower cost to participants, the main conference will be virtual over Zoom using Zoom Events platform. Various Local/Regional Conferences will be announced shortly to satisfy the desire for in-person gatherings. The 2026 Annual Conference will again be in a physical venue yet to be determined.
The conference is designed to be live and interactive, providing the same range of symposia, panels, workshops, morning dream groups and special events that attendees have come to appreciate at our annual on-site events. Additionally, it will feature virtual receptions, an online art exhibit, a dream telepathy contest, and even a virtual costume parade and dream ball.

We are again looking for high-quality proposals that fall into any of the following tracks: Dreams and the Arts; Dreams and Ethnicity; Research and Theory; Clinical Approaches; Dreamwork Practices; Education; Religion, Spirituality and Philosophy; Extraordinary, Psi and Lucid Dreams; Dreams and Health; Culture and History.

Format: Presentations will be over Zoom and the leaders or chairs of each session will manage their Zoom sessions. Support and training will be provided.
