I do feel we are deeply indebted to Freud, Jung and many other psychotherapists for returning value and meaning to dreamwork. And dreamwork will continue to be a major tool of therapies aimed as wholeness where imagination is part of the process. However, therapeutic dreamwork now takes its lead from grassroots dreamwork, not the other way around. The model comes from playing music. In improvisational music, the musician has to learn to listen and respond in a unique but relevant and related way rather than playing pre-described patterns.
Dream sharing is much the same.
We can learn the chords or structures passed to us from our teachers and in this way participate relevantly in a sphere of cultural reality. Then as we begin to use these dream work techniques, a door opens to a whole new realm unfolds. The old techniques can quickly become repressive if used at the wrong time. The event-dream now has a life and flow of its own. We are free to contribute or distract from this event-dream.
