Interpretation of Dreams Using the ESSENCE Approach to Personality 

Sr. Mary Rebecca ‘Rivkha’ E. Rogacion, RGS, CPA, has been a practitioner for over 32 years. She has developed ESSENCE as a psycho-spiritual-physical approach to personality and validated it over 22 years with 23,000 participants in sixteen countries. She has also used ESSENCE for the interpretation of dreams. 

Abstract

A powerpoint presentation will be made to give the participants background knowledge of the meaning of ESSENCE. ESSENCE is everything about a Person. The Psyche which includes the thinking processes, emotional states, urges, instincts, drives, values, and attitudes is modified by the Spirituality of a person and expressed through a given physique which consists of the bone and muscular development, skin and hair textures, voice timbre, vocabulary, style of speaking, energy level, and gait of a person. Spirituality here is defined as a relationship with an Ultimate Other or Universal Force that the person acknowledges as one’s Creator. The Psycho-Spiritual-Physique of a person is whole expressing itself in waking time. The person uses the symbolisms of one’s ESSENCE in one’s dreams.

            The lecture continues to cite three generic ESSENCES. In the Eastern way of referring to persons they are either thinking, feeling or acting persons. They can usually be recognized by their faces. A set of three volunteers for demonstration will show what thinking, feeling and acting persons look like. They will constitute the three generic models. They will talk about their dreams. Then the volunteers will know what generic ESSENCE they belong to and then they will relate their dreams with their generic ESSENCE.

Using Peer Counselling methodology, which is providing a listening ear only to the partner, the participants will first identify their generic ESSENCE. Some time is spent in validating one’s generic ESSENCE with others. And then discussion goes on to their personal dreams. Then the participants will interpret their dreams within the context of their present life situation and their ESSENCE.
