Dream Groups Now Forming
Dreams cloak the waking world with mystery, fear and excitement. They need our attention and care for their imaginative richness and practical utility to be experienced and realized in waking consciousness.
The dream group will utilize multiple approaches to understanding dreams including Freud, Jung, Montagu Ullman’s work with groups, and Stephen Eizenstat’s “dream tending.” It will utilize both verbal and non-verbal expressive means as a way to access and represent the complex structure of dreams.
The exploration of dreams in a group setting can deepen one’s understanding of dream-life and also strengthen connections to others. The dream group provides a creative space where the dreamer can express parts of the self that are typically kept private and connect to others at emotional levels that are often not experienced in conventional social interactions. The group enriches an individual’s experience by adding their associations and reactions to the dream. This process links individual themes with group concerns, anxieties, and hopes that creates a shared dream experience.
