Talk Description

Write your awesome label here.
In this talk, Dr.Lionel Corbett talks about dreams (and visionary experiences) as a source of the ‘religious function’ of the psyche. This function is described by Jung as a spontaneous tendency of the psyche to produce spiritual experiences. This is what Jung refers to as numinous experiences.

Often, these experiences are seen as confined to saints, mystics or ‘special’ people. Dr.Corbett instead encourages us to examine our own relationships to the sacred. He draws on Jung’s model, where the sacred or the divine manifests itself through our own subjectivity. By locating the source of these experiences deep within our psyches, we see that they are accessible at a very fundamental level, to all of us. And dreams and visions are one of the main forms of access we have.

When we have dreams and visions of this nature, we may discover that the culture we live in does not take these experiences seriously. Or that traditional ways of experiencing the sacred or holy are sometimes not broad enough to encompass the many ways it can appear in our lives. We may find that these experiences have nothing to do with the traditions most familiar to us or come from a completely different one altogether. The Unconscious will choose imagery that is really relevant to us and it may not be the image that we expect.

As we listen to the many dreams and visions, both his and others, that Dr.Corbett shares, we begin to understand how these experiences can have a deep healing effect. They bring us new knowledge and information that we hitherto did not have access to. He shares a wide selection of the different types of numinous dreams that people can have.
