Are dreams merely the brain’s way of discharging excess stimulation from the previous day…or do they occupy a world just as valid & vibrant as waking life? Have you ever woken up with a dream fragment—an image or sensation that eludes you yet leaves you a bit uneasy all day? Why do dream symbol lists fall short? Why does a nightmare hold such emotional power, and how can we neutralize its effects to unlock concealed wisdom? The phenomenon of dreaming life has held a fascinating role in history, art and psychology. Join us as we visit each of those areas in various media, as well as practicing several approaches to working with personal dreams.
