The second session of the week will always be devoted to dream-sharing and dream work in various modes. Obviously, this demands some willingness on your part to explore and share important aspects of your inner and outer life with others. In the process, you will learn to keep a journal, with a special emphasis upon dreams, and you will learn that your dreams are meaningfully related to other aspects of your life. You will learn skills and concepts which will enable you to work with your own dreams and you will learn to be a good, nonintrusive facilitator of others understanding their dreams. You will become conversant in a number of dream theories.
Most emphasis is given to the Jungian perspective, however.
Through the completion of a creative project, you will extend yourself into unfamiliar terrain and learn to recognize and affirm your own life-myth and core symbols. Students who take the course should be in a sufficiently settled place in their lives that they are willing to undertake such a voyage of discovery. On rare occasions a student may be asked to drop this class if, in my judgement, they themselves are not prepared to take such a journey at this time or they make others in the class feel unsafe to do so. An important ingredient in creating a safe environment is the ability to maintain confidentiality. That is to say, a prerequisite of the class is your agreement not to talk about other students' dreams or lives outside of class.
