While concentrating on the dreamer s words, the group hears the dreamer read his dream, concentrating on the dream as if it were their own. One by one, the listeners tell their reactions and projections to the dream to give insight to the dreamer. The dreamer uses these projections and relates them to real-life events surrounding the dream, possibly considering other interpretations. The group or partner has an ethical responsibility to keep the dream confidential. Dreams and Healing 1.
Healing is the process of bringing resolution to oppositions in the body, soul, mind, and life.
This means that the way to heal is to face conflict rather than to avoid it. Healing includes dealing with the fear or adversity in our dreams so that it is resolved. We can even use dream-work to heal the dream itself or allow it go to a natural resolution of conflicts. Healing, like hypnosis, involves removing inner blocks and evoking integration in oneself and one s life. By Grace E. Smith, Ph.D., C. Ht.
