Each two-hour class will be divided into two parts. The first hour will cover an advanced theme in Jungian dream analysis. In the second hour, we will practice dream analysis by looking at two dreams, which participants bring from their therapy practices (either dreams from the patient or their dreams about a patient), spending a half-hour working on each dream.
I will ask participants to propose dreams ahead of time each week and I will choose two that we will work on during that week’s class.
Themes to be covered include:
- Adaptive and typological themes in dreams
- Archetypal approaches to dreams
- Working with nightmares
- Themes of death and death anxiety in dreams.
