Jungian Dream Interpretation

5 consecutive Fridays, 6:00-7:30 pm Eastern Time, USA via Zoom.

Beginning October 6
Instructor: Maxson J. McDowell, PhD, LMSW, LP
 

7.5 CE contact hours for licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists.

A dream uses an imagistic language we can decipher. This language is universal, the same as used in myths from stone-age cultures. A dream shows us the next possible step in our developing personality. It warns us if we are going astray, encourages us if we need it, or offers penetrating insights into our confusion. We work together as a team and have fun. We confirm or disconfirm each interpretation with experimental evidence. We will not work with class members’ dreams. Please bring a dream, with permission, from a family member or friend.
