Description: Dreams
are powerful transformational tools with a long history in virtually every
traditional culture. And despite the marginalization dreams have sometimes
suffered in reductionist circles, a rich body of knowledge and powerful
techniques are now available to clinicians and lay persons alike. This training
will provide an overview of this rich store of proven dream methodologies, and
is for anyone, but especially mental health professionals, interested in
incorporating dreamwork into their professional or personal practice. The
training will cover techniques for dream induction and enhancing dream recall,
an overview of theories of dreaming and the implications for practice, dream
journaling, types of dreams, managing nightmares, the incorporation of dream
work into group processes, the application of dreams for creative work,
strategies for inducing and using lucid dreams, and the use of dreams as an
integral (or spiritual) practice. The training will involve some
experiential activities, and participants will leave with practical techniques
to enhance their effective use of dreams.
