4. This workshop will provide practical approaches to personal dreamwork based on blending the teaching of Hillman, Delaney, and Jung. We will also address dealing with the emotion of awake ego when it interferes with the writing and the understanding of the dream, particularly nightmares.


5. Learning Objectives:
- How to write dreams
- How to honor the semantics of the dream.
- How to work with symbols to arrive at dream metaphors.
- With nightmares, how to overcome the fear of awake ego to see the help that the dream is providing.
- How to overcome selective seeing to view the wholeness of the dream.
