Course Description

Day 1 Introduction to dreamwork

On the first day, our primary aim is to establish connections within the group and foster a sense of camaraderie. We’ll begin with exploring the concept of dreams. What is a dream? It is not merely fleeting images, but immersive worlds where one’s awareness is engaged—an experiential journey. Dreams are not ephemeral; they coexist with our waking reality, offering an alternate realm of existence that’s accessible within our own world.

Day 2 Dreamwork tradition, Jungian approach 

The special focus of this class is on the Jungian approach. Key concepts of Jungian dreamwork are discussed. Among the topics of this class: symbolic reading of dreams, exploration of the amplification technique, subjective and objective level in dreams, and personal and collective themes.

Day 3 Dreamwork traditions, the aesculapian tradition 

Dreamwork has flourished across diverse cultures and continents. We’ll explore various traditions in this course. In this class, we’ll have a look at ancient dreamwork traditions, including the esteemed Aesculapian tradition. This class focuses on the ancient practice of dream incubation and the art of dream healing.

Day 4 Dream Embodiment

Embodied imagination, is an experiential method of engaging with dreams and imagination. In this technique the body is also used as a way to feel into the states of consciousness in the dream. This technique is conceptualized by Robert Bosnak. It integrates the body, mind, and imagination. Rooted in Jungian psychology and influenced by somatic practices, embodied imagination is a technique that is about the embodiment of dream images or figures. Engagement with the states of consciousness in the dream is how the dreamer connects with the imaginal realm. 

Day 5 Dreamwork and the shamanistic perspective 

On this day we will journey into the Other Worlds. We will explore the basic shamanic worldview, especially through African traditions. We will notice the role of ancestors and spirit guides in these traditions, and the importance of having a living relationship with them. As well as the deeply life affirming worldview that underlies the shamanic perspective. We will explore the importance of rituals and you will learn how to prescribe a ritual. And we will learn how to engage with the dream figures through Jung’s most important contribution to psychology, Active Imagination. 

Day 6 Facilitating dreamwork 

The dreamworker is the focus of this class. What does it mean to be a dreamworker? What is required in terms of thinking, attitude and skills to do dreamwork with others?

Dream practitioners require a range of skills for effective dreamwork. These include active listening, fostering a supportive environment for dream exploration. Also proficiency in dreamwork tools, and psychological/interpersonal skills are needed. By honing these skills, dream practitioners facilitate dreamwork, guiding individuals on journeys of living a life in touch with soul. 

Day 7 Lucid dreaming & Eastern traditions

In the seventh class of this course, we’re exploring lucid dreaming; being aware while in the dream state. Lucid dreaming offers space for exploration, co-creation, play with, healing in the dream. Lucid awareness allows for profound exploration of the dreamworld and its close relationship to the waking world.

Class 8 Unus Mundus

The concept of Unus Mundus (one world) suggests the existence of a unified underlying reality that transcends the duality of the physical and spiritual realms. This idea of Unus Mundus underscores the notion that everything is interconnected and part of a larger underlying reality. This class explores the implications of this concept, and how it translates to our ways of being in the waking and dreaming world.

Class 9 The dreamers’ goodbye 

On this last day, it’s time to say goodbye, reflecting on the course’s end and new beginnings ahead. We will be envisioning our future paths (manifestation exercise), befriending our dreams as companions on our path. Also we will take time to celebrate our achievements in a certificate ceremony.
