MEMBERSHIP HISTORY:
Henry Reed sent me a postcard in 1983 inviting me to become a Founding Life Member if I would send a check for $100 with no guarantee that the organization would even survive.  At that time: no job - working on a doctoral dissertation - in debt - married - one child - no family income.  Thank goodness I wrote that check.  The returns have been enormous in so many ways.  Thank you Henry.  It was fourteen years before I got to an annual conference, but was greeted by Rita Dwyer, who took me under wing, made me feel right at home, and invited me to the board of directors meeting where she was quick to give me a formal welcome.

PUBLICATIONS:
Live By Your Dreams - A unique guide and reference book for understanding and using dreams that includes fifty stories based on dreams gathered from strangers during the course of everyday living, and an instructive commentary for each dream.  The developmental editor was Meredith Young-Sowers, a best selling author in her own right.  Illustrations were by Giora Carmi, originally from Israe, and a noted children's book illustrator.  Available through Amazon and as a free download from his website, www.arthurstrock.com, or from www.dreamnetworkjournal.com.
