Inscape, The Place of Dreams in our Search for Meaning
December 3, 1994 @ 9:30 am - 4:30 pm PST
We all dream up to six times per night. What is the meaning of this extraordinary activity which continues while consciousness rests? Jung articulated a theory and a practice of dream interpretation which sees dream as a process by which the Self seeks to dialogue with, to correct, to compensate for, and even to direct the conscious life. In this workshop we will review the four basic categories of dreams, the structure of dreams, and the methodology of dream interpretation. Then we will examine a series of dreams from three analysands and work together on their interpretation (Because of the personal nature of dreams, we will not work with any dreams of workshop participants.)
