Dreamwork for Mental Health Professionals: Learn Dreamwork Skills
​
​
In this dream group, we will utilize the “If It Were My Dream” approach developed by Rev. Jeremy Taylor to explore the mystery and wisdom of the dream world. Participants will learn an individualized approach to dreamwork that uses Taylor’s Ten Basic Assumptions About Dreams. Rather than relying on external “interpretation” of dream content, this technique empowers the dreamer to be the ultimate authority on their dream. Each group member will “dream their own dream,” utilizing the feelings, memories, and ideas evoked by the dreams of others as gateways to our own inner worlds. The use of the “If It Were My Dream” prompt encourages each person to take the dream on as their own, and find meaning in the archetypal symbols each dream contains. In the process, we may also catch a glimpse of the “group dream” that is being dreamed through all of us.
The focus of this group is on developing our ability to listen to the wisdom of the personal and collective unconscious as it is expressed through our dreams.
