Why do we dream? We all have experienced dreams that awaken us, imbue us with spirit, fill us with powerful emotions, affect our bodies, puzzle our minds, and, at times, point our lives into new directions.
The lecture and classes will focus on listening to and working with dreams in ways that enliven and animate how we relate to ourselves and to others. According to C.G. Jung, our dreams bring us into contact with our innermost soul, and reflect the inner and outer dynamics that impact its well-being. Dreams are the creative weaving of many threads woven by an unknown story teller, the unconscious. During the lecture we shall pay close attention to the dream images and their associated affect to open ourselves to experiencing the ambiguity and intentionality of dreams. Examples will be presented to show how living with our dreams and asking "What does the dream want?" is the basis of a most powerful practice of self-discovery, personal growth, and problem-solving.

The small-group, Wednesday-evening sessions are a new venue offered by the C.G. Jung society designed to provide an environment in which participants can safely enter into the domain introduced in the lecture. There are no prerequisites other than the attendance of the Friday lecture. Following the lecture on dreams and dreaming, participants in the small-group sessions will be guided to put these ideas into practice through discussions, working with dreams they share, and exploring them through art and creative writing. Participants will also have an opportunity to explore the assumptions they bring to their work with dreams and the questions arising in this context.
