In this workshop, clinicians will become aware of one of the most intimate conversations we can have with ourselves – Dream Work. They will discover that dream exploration is a powerful technique to use in their work. Since dreams are the gateway into the unconscious, the symbolic representations in a dream state are the players giving voice and meaning to the clients own dissociated or integrated parts.
Since there is always a story waiting to be told, the focus will be on processing different types and pieces of dreams: premonitions, recurring dreams, nightmares, lucid dreaming, changing the outcome of a dream, or finishing an unfinished dream. These are pathways that we may take that lead us to greater awareness and greater emotional health.
Participants will experience the use of guided imagery, meditation, artistic expressions, movement, and role playing as techniques to enhance the client’s ability to interpret their inner world. Archetypes, symbols, and Active imagination taken from a Jungian theoretical basis will be studied and utilized to help interpret the dream state.
Individuals are encouraged to bring in their dreams or client’s dreams to share and interpret as a way of deepening the levels of understanding. There will be a demonstration on how to work with and process these dreams.
