Content

This course consists of 10 approximately fifty-minute long videos of a dream workshop I facilitated in Spring 2021. The videos include a brief didactic presentation, as I outline the themes for each session, followed by class discussion. The group then discusses dreams, either taken from the Jungian literature, or shared by a workshop participant.

Duration

A paid subscription to these videos lasts for 4 months before expiring.

Topics

The workshop covers:

• the structure and relationship between consciousness and the unconscious

• understanding archetypes

• the personal unconscious

• Jung’s method of dream “amplification”

• “Big dreams” and dreams of the collective

• a review of contemplative and creative exercises that can help expand upon dream themes

• an exploration of dreaming and synchronicity

• the relationship between the creative process and dream work

• We will explore not only the useful aspects of Jung’s thoughts on dreaming, we will also confront and challenge the Eurocentric and misogynistic notions that exist in these texts and theories

Terms and Privacy

For me, dream work is a living and relational process, not an exercise in interpretation and so I chose to record the whole workshop, and not merely a lecture. Group members were offered time off-screen to discuss anything they chose to keep private, and agreed to record and share the recorded portions of these discussions behind a paywall for subscribers to this series. I am deeply grateful to all the participants, and for all the insights and intuitions they share here.
