Jung at Heart (2024-2025): Dreams Part 1

Saturdays, January 4 & 18, 2025; 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
DREAMS
In the first session, we will present an overview of dreams, comparing Freud’s and Jung’s approaches. Then, we will present the basics of Jungian dreamwork. If time allows, we will work on a dream from one of the participants with the group. In the second session, we will explore some of the results of scientific research on dreams. We will summarize the basics of Jungian dreamwork and then work again on analyzing a couple of participants' dreams. If participants want to share one short dream (one-two paragraphs), please bring it with you.
