As expected, the pandemic has brought with it heightened anxiety levels. This has resulted in a sharp increase in nightmares and anxiety dreams. Left unattended these dreams can leave the dreamer feeling uneasy and fearful. Yet, equipped with the right skills and insights, these dreams can serve a positive purpose, guiding the dreamer towards healing and wholeness.

This course has been created with a view to helping people grapple with nightmares and anxiety dreams. It is intended for anyone who has a nightmare or anxiety dream and wants to deal with that. It will also be beneficial for therapists who work with their patients’ nightmares.

Course Description

In turbulent times like these, there is an upswing of nightmares and anxiety dreams. Often these serve to awaken a person, literally and metaphorically, guiding them towards transforming their situation. Such nightmares can become constructive when understood properly. Whether you are having more anxiety dreams due to this time of Coronavirus, or struggle with nightmares in general, this course will help you cope better.

The Jung Platform has invited three world-renowned experts in this field to equip participants with perspectives and practical tools. These include the following:

  • Understanding what nightmares and anxiety dreams are, and what purpose they serve in the psyche. Practical skills for approaching nightmares and how to metabolize them. When to get help for nightmares. How you can help children who suffer from nightmares. 
  • How to differentiate between different types of nightmares. Nightmares and PTSD. How to treat your own nightmares with dream incubation. Insights gleaned from a survey of pandemic dreams.
  • Lucid dreaming and nightmares. Practical exercises to become lucid. Perspectives and techniques to help peoples’ worst nightmares transform into spiritual experiences.

This program is ideal if you want to be able to

  • Understand your nightmares or anxiety dreams better or you are a therapist or coach guiding patients suffering from nightmares. 
  • Be better equipped to deal with anxiety dreams and nightmares. You will understand the properties of the two kinds of nightmares, and how to constructively engage with each type. 
  • Understand how the Lucid Imaging Nightmare Solution can be used as an empowering response to distressing dreams.
