Our dreams may offer valuable information at the deepest levels of our personalities and the manner in which we live out our humanity. Understanding the images of our dreams could increase our self-awareness and awareness of the world around us. Dreams can be seen as a pathway to heightened consciousness, wisdom and an expanded sense of self.
Dreams are the gateway to the unconscious and can assist to uncover underlying issues through a tracking of themes and patterns presented in the images. Dream work offers a deep insight into internal conflicts, identify barriers to healing and growth, as well as possible solutions. As a therapeutic tool this can be invaluable. This course is aimed at training professionals in working therapeutically with dreams and other altered states of consciousness.

VvVanda / 2022-08-06I found some of the views expressed inappropriate for 2022 - the book was published in 2004. Specifically the views on gender - she speaks as if there is an immutable expression of femininity and masculinity whilst it makes more sense that these archetypes are subject to temporal/cultural colouring. Her statement on why "people" may fear melanated people should be excised. It's racist and colonialist. Perhaps the very dark hued people of Central Africa dream of pale threatening strangers?

VvVanda / 2022-08-14I found it very interesting - it dovetails with and expands on my own beliefs around ecological awareness. i am still grappling with the way in which the concept of "archetype" is being expressed. It is eternal, universal and immutable. Human consciousness is not. Therefore we can only express it through the filters of our time, culture and individuality. If we mistake this for the unknowable totality of the archetype we degrade archetype to stereotype. i am struggling to separate these two ....

KSKarin / 2022-09-30I loved this article - the weaving of myth and understanding of the magical. Loved the suggestion of how poor we have become for being separated from out connection to magical nature.
