…the dream is a spontaneous self-portrayal in symbolic form, of the actual situation in the unconscious. C.G. Jung, CW 8, par 505
An inner journey is undertaken when we listen to our dreams. Historically dreams were accepted as messengers of the divine and the voice of God. Indigenous cultures listened to the dream for advice and instruction. In time, Jung discovered through his own confrontation with the unconscious described in The Red Book that dreams and symbols disclosed the path of one’s individuation process. It was not until Freud and Jung rediscovered the rich tradition and value of the dream that the dream received its proper place in psychological and spiritual development.
This class will be didactic and experiential and will teach participants how to listen and interpret dreams from a Jungian lens for personal and clinical application. Particular attention will be given to learning the value of Active Imagination and the creative expression of symbols and images for dream amplification and interpretation. Through discussion, preassigned YouTube videos, readings, drawing, and dream analysis the participants will enhance their knowledge and skills for dream interpretation. If you do not remember your dreams but want to, this is a setting that will stir your psyche to communicate with you.
Participants are asked to bring to class dreams that are not personal and which can be shared in a group setting, a notebook/journal, pen, pencil, pastels or crayons and drawing paper which is large enough to contain a 12-inch circle.
