Engaging with Dreams

Everyone is invited to a workshop entitled Engaging with Dreams. As the title suggests, we’ll be looking at ways of getting more out of dreams especially through recognising where our own ways of thinking and being can be used to special effect.

Dreams are generally considered to be the products of unconscious processes, by which we mean thoughts and feelings that occur outside of our conscious control. This has led some to conclude that we need to understand the language of our unconscious mind through the symbolism of dreams. Yet most have found that dream dictionaries constructed using these ideas to be highly speculative and probably flawed. Are there other ways of getting access to the dreamer’s unconscious? I believe there is. But it is not straightforward, and for many of us we perhaps only get a sense of what’s going on no matter how hard we try and find meaning. It is that ‘sense’ that Engaging with Dreams is about.

Through looking at our own dreams and the dreams of others, we’ll share our observations, our emotional responses, our gut reactions and indeed anything that arises for us. In doing so we’ll find our more about how we personally understand unconscious processes and how these are revealed in dreams. Dream work of any type is a highly inexact science so what each of us will take from the workshop will be different and personal, perhaps shaped by the kinds of people we have each grown up to be.

Engaging with Dreams runs from 1 to 15 February, in seven simple stages. Watch out for the introductory thread which may appear as early as Sunday 31 January! Looking forward to engaging with as many dreamers as possible!
