Dreams are the treasures that come in nighttime sleep and during daytime reverie. They are treasures that have been trusted and respected for centuries as a vital means to understanding and knowing one’s self. The power of a dream is it’s potential for healing. Dreams are essentially the work of the soul. Dreams can be prophetic; seeing forward into a life situation, they can be frightening and “nightmarish,” perhaps scaring us into finally looking at what we have been avoiding and/or neglecting, and dreams can comment on our daily life situations and emotional needs. Dreams give us insight into how we can manage situations and relationships and give us greater understanding about the relationship we have with our self.
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who look inside, awakes.

– C.G Jung
DREAMS

Dreams are true to every person and every person dreams. All dreams are fruitful to the work of psychotherapy and I refer to them as an aspect of doing therapy together. It is a matter of whether or not you “remember” your dreams. To remember a dream means to re-member it- to put together what the dream is telling you. The individual dream of last night is as important to the therapeutic process and for you, as a collection of dreams harvested over many months. Each offers a full, perhaps more three dimensional perspective of you.

Dreams come with images, figures and usually a story. However, dreams are not literal. Dreams typically are not interpreted in literal terms but rather in terms of the symbolic imagery and what is being conveyed to you through that imagery. Deciphering dream symbolism is the craft of understanding the imagery. Marion Woodman says that the symbol is carrying the spiritual message in the imagery. I follow that we cannot fully interpret our own dreams because we tend to project what we want to believe into the outcome. Dreams are meant to be shared and in therapy they have proved to support psychological health and well-being.
