Introduction to Jungian Dream Analysis

It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of dreams for Jungian analysis and psychotherapy. In this course, designed as an introduction for mental health practitioners interested in using dream analysis in their clinical work, we will cover four essential themes:

1. The nature and value of dreams for therapy

2. Basic approaches to and techniques of dream analysis

3. Archetypal images and themes in dreams

4. The figure of the therapist in dreams

By the end of the four meetings, participants will be able to articulate a basic Jungian understanding of the nature of dreams and how to interpret them, describe some of the important clinical information dreams can provide, and integrate dream analysis into their clinical practice.
