The house of my dreams I had been having a difficult time – work, relationships, money problems, the list goes on… It manifested itself in nightmares – or rather, one recurring nightmare. In this dream I was locked in a house, and couldn’t get out. To make it worse I was being pursued by a monster – at least a monstrous person. He must have been at least 6 foot 6 inches tall, and as broad as he was tall. He had a huge black beard, and I couldn’t quite make out his face. Every room I went through, he would be there, and I just couldn’t get away. The climax of the nightmare was me scrabbling at the door to try to get out, but the door was locked tight, and this giant of a man was closing in on me. At that point I awoke – the same place in the nightmare every time. People say that a recurring dream must have some deeper meaning. I don’t know about that. However, my work had been suffering, and my boss noticed. “Take a couple of weeks off” he said, generously. So it came about that I booked a little cottage in the Alps and drove down straight away. I found the cottage easily, and started settling in. As I unpacked and looked around the cottage, it looked strangely familiar. Suddenly, I realised, this was the house of my dreams! The more I told myself not to panic, and this was a stupid thought, the more I did panic. Was that a noise I heard behind me? I rushed around the place, as if being chased. I got to the front door – It would not open! Where was the key? No matter, I had to do something, so I put my shoulder to the door and shoved. I sprawled out of the door and fell flat on my face. A hand helped me up. But it was the giant from my nightmare! I almost screamed and tried to pull myself away. But he simply smiled, and said in broken English, “Mister Smith, welcome to your holiday home. I have brought you a welcome pack.” I really did need that holiday. .

"A Mini Dreamwork Primer" by Rick Belden
A mini dreamwork primer by Rick Belden my dreams float just below the surface of consciousness like ice floes drifting out to sea. asleep on an airplane they are the clouds beneath me always there and out of reach real surreal and everywhere half-seen in drowsy glimpses. invisible as gravity insatiable as imagination they are the wings that hold me to this earth they can take me anywhere but they always bring me home. Introduction Dreams are an incredibly rich source of information that lies largely untapped in most of us. Unbound by the stifling mundanities of daily waking life, they present us with a seemingly infinite stream of fantastic scenarios, mysterious characters, mythic themes, and transcendent possibilities, often functioning as precursors and companions to major awakenings in our lives. Dreams and dreamwork played an essential part in the genesis and development of my first book, Iron Man Family Outing, and have continued to remain significant for me ever since. In this post, I’d like to share some of the basic ideas and strategies I’ve learned in working with my dreams over the last 25 years, in the hope that readers might feel inspired to spend a little time with those mysterious and often forgotten friends that visit us every night, our dreams. Recall and Record The first step in working with any dream is to remember it. One of the best ways to encourage and improve your dream recall is to make a habit of recording whatever you remember from your dreams in whatever way is best for you, whether it’s writing, making a voice recording, or doing some artwork.

Dream-Based Interventions and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Running head: DREAM-BASED INTERVENTIONS 1 Dream-Based Interventions and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder A Literature Review Presented to The Faculty of the Adler Graduate School ____________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for The Degree of Master of Arts in Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy ____________________ By Kurt Pope ____________________ Chair: Rachelle J. Reinisch, DMFT Reader: Meghan Williams, MA ____________________ July, 2017 DREAM-BASED INTERVENTIONS 2 Abstract With the vast amount of conceptual frameworks and research on dreams, datum suggests that dream-based interventions can be effectively utilized in clinical mental health settings. Additionally, a paradoxical relationship exists between dreams and trauma, so dream-based interventions could be of value when implemented in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment protocol. Integration of current dream-based interventions in conjunction with Individual Psychology could produce a protocol to target re-experienced PTSD trauma-related dreams. Attending to trauma-related dreams from a cognitive, emotional, and social perspective could have an impact on the treatment of concurrent waking-life symptoms of PTSD. Keywords: dreams, PTSD, Individual Psychology DREAM-BASED INTERVENTIONS 3 Acknowledgements Genuine thanks to my family, friends, David Thompson, John Reardon, Erin Rafferty- Bugher, Dr. Rachelle Reinisch, and Nikhil Kaistha for knowledge, guidance, and patience.

EXPERIENCES of ENGAGING in ARCHETYPAL DREAMWORK by Birgit Laskowski B.A., University of Alberta, 1991 R.Dh., University of Alber
EXPERIENCES OF ENGAGING IN ARCHETYPAL DREAMWORK by Birgit Laskowski B.A., University of Alberta, 1991 R.Dh., University of Alberta, 1994 B.Ed., University of Northern British Columbia, 2009 THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF EDUCATION IN COUNSELLING UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA April 2016 ©Birgit Laskowski, 2016 ii Abstract This study describes the experiences of six participants who engaged in the process of Archetypal Dreamwork. The purpose of this study is to contribute to that body of knowledge which pertains to working with dreams in therapy, from the perspective of the participants. Through thematic analysis, interviews with the six participants yielded two main themes and five sub-themes. The findings indicate that engagement in Archetypal Dreamwork for the participants in this study feels safe and is effective for most in generating insights, acceptance, and understanding of oneself and others, which manifest as changes in how one relates to the self and others. The findings are consistent with other research which indicates a role for working with dreams in the context of therapy. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii TABLE OF CONTENTS iii List of Tables v List of Figures vi Acknowledgements vii Chapter 1: Introduction 1 Significance of the Research 2 Background of the Study 5 Purpose of this Study 9 Research Question 10 Conceptual Lens 11 Intended Audience 12 Definitions of Terms 12 Summary 13 Chapter 2: Literature Review 16 The Physiology of Sleep and Dreaming 16 Historical

Cracking the Dream Code
Cracking the Dream Code By Patti Allen Lesson, Week 2: Sleep, Dreaming and the Brain Science has a lot to teach us on the brain and what happens during sleep and dreaming. Thanks to the work of Nathaniel Kleitman and Eugene Aserinsky, whose breakthrough research, published in 1953, connected the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep with dreaming, the study and science of sleep as we know it today had begun. In the more than sixty years of research since that landmark discovery, scientists have since concluded that we do have non-REM (NREM) dreams as well, however they are shorter, more fragmented and don’t appear to have the same emotional content as our REM dreams. The NREM stage is also known as “slow-wave sleep” and is considered to be restorative. We spend approximately one third of our lives sleeping and during the time spent in sleep on an average night, a typical adult will have five dream cycles (with 4 stages each) of REM, ninety minutes each. As we first go to sleep REM cycles are shorter, gradually reaching 90 minutes in length by morning. We clock in approximately two hours of dreaming (+/- ) per night. For the napping crowd, it’s interesting to note that since we tend to sleep in 90-100 minute cycles, when catching a nap, try to sleep for 90 minutes. If you nap for less time, rejuvenating Cracking the Dream Code 1 Copyright © 2011 by Patti Allen 5-15 minute power naps notwithstanding, you may just wake up feeling groggy and unrested.

Dream Sharing Dream Groups
The Art of Dream Sharing and Developing Dream Groups Creative Ideas from the Dream Network Journal 1 The Art of Dreamsharing/www.Dream NetworkJournal.net ”The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into the cosmic night that which was psyche long before there was any ego consciousness and which will remain psyche, no matter how far our ego- consciousness may extend. In the dream, we put on the likeness of that more universal, truer, more eternal person dwelling in the darkness of primordial night. There, the individual is still the whole and the whole is in the individual, indistinguishable from nature and bare of all egohood. It is from these all-uniting depths that the dream arises, be it ever so childish, grotesque or immoral. So flowerlike is it in its candor and veracity that it makes us blush for the Carl G. Jung deceitfulness of our lives.” 2 The Art of Dreamsharing/www.DreamNetworkJournal.net Artist Charles Catron III, Sandbox Studio, Moab, UT 3 “Doors of Perception” The Art of Dreamsharing/www.Dream NetworkJournal.net Copyright ©1993 Dream Network Journal Revised ©2002, ©2013 All rights reserved, including the right to reproduce this book, or any portion thereof, without the written permission of the publisher.
