Jungian Dream Interpretation Online

Instructor: Maxson J. McDowell, PhD, LMSW, LP
Fridays, 6:00-7:30pm Eastern Time, USA.
Beginning November 13, 2020—excluding November 27
Instructor: Maxson J. McDowell, PhD, LMSW, LP

We don’t know where dreams come from but, from experience, we know their purpose. They show us the next possible step in our developing consciousness. They warn us if we are going astray, encourage us if we need it and offer penetrating insights into our confusion. To interpret dreams we have to be disciplined and logical but also emotional, feeling, imaginative and sensate. Using Jung’s concepts as our guide, we will combine our insights to explore each dream and feel success when the class as a whole recognizes an answer and experiences a deepening of consciousness. We will not work with class members’ dreams. Please bring a dream, with permission, from a family member or friend.
