We all dream.
Our dreams come in the service of health and wellness. They are centered on revealing the character of the person the dreamer is developing and growing into.
Archetypes, as described by Carl Jung, are dreamed by all people in all cultures. Dreams are effective because our unconscious learns through pictures, symbols and stories and so therefore we get our information easily when we dream. All parts of the dream are aspects of ourselves even if we do not see them in ourselves at the time.
According to psychologist and dream analysis expert Jeremy Taylor, PhD, "Dreams come with multiple levels of meaning to subtlety expand and develop our individual and collective consciousness and serve our revolving health and wellness."
Nightmares "If a dream is remembered at all, the dreamer is completely capable of working with all the issues of the dream. Health and wellness is the long run outcome. Even if the dreamer thinks they cannot handle the information, they can. If the dream is remembered, the dreamer is standing on the threshold of transformation and ready to start to deal with it." Jeremy Taylor PHD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) will show up as nightmares. This is the last ditch effort of our psyche to heal itself. Terror is a motivator that can be used to break the grip of the repeated nightmares. Every nightmare says to the dreamer upon awakening - "Pay attention! This is worth remembering, whether you happen to think so at this moment or not!" Even scary nightmares can be explored in the safety of a Dream Circle.
Dream Circles Dreams are the workshops of evolution, individually and collectively. People in a Dream Circle come together to analyze their dreams in order to support their spiritual growth. Another benefit of working in a Dream Circle is that the dream is experienced in the entire group benefiting each member because we all get the insight.
In his definitive book, Dream Work, Dr. Jeremy Taylor notes that "the vast majority of people are strengthened, liberated, revitalized, and deeply supported and affirmed by their experiences in dream groups. Group Work with dreams when done regularly generates ongoing relationships that become sources of deep emotional and psychological support of tremendous benefit to all involved."
We can survive as a species if we do collective Dream work as part of a Dream Circle, if we understand ourselves better by looking at our own unconscious patterns. Then we can experience genuine change because we addressed the same archetypal patterns - especially the awful patterns - so we can change them ourselves!
Our first Dream Circle is September 20th. Join us!
