Dreamwork: An Introduction |
|
|
We spend a third of our lives asleep, much of that time dreaming. Some (e.g., Jung, Freud, Lincoln, and Black Elk) have found profound meaning in dreams, interpreting them in a variety of ways. This course introduces you to different approaches to dream work, and while we consider the ideas of Jung and Freud, our main work is hands-on and practical. Each session involves the introduction of techniques and then working as a group to grasp a dream that the instructor presents. In the final two sessions, to the extent that it is appropriate and safe, we will look at a few dreams of participants who are willing to have their dreams discussed. You will learn techniques for considering your own dreams and initial steps to approach the dreams of others.
