The Saturday workshop will consider the many ways in which dreams, as provided by participants, capture both the crucial moments of a life process representing both hurdles and possibilities. Giannini divides Jung’s two stages of life into four quadrants based on typology’s Compass of the Soul as a framework for exploring how our dreams play into and through our critical life transitions. Participants are urged to prepare by reading the chapter entitled “Confrontation with the Unconscious” in Jung’s Memories, Dreams, and Reflectionsand “Stages of Life” in the Collected Works, and also by bringing their own dreams to share.
