Night Journeys: A Therapeutic Approach to Our Client’s Dreams Lynn Flewelling, MFTI
Psychiatrist
Carl Jung wrote: “A dream that is not understood is a mere occurrence;
understood, it becomes a living experience.” In the didactic portion of
the workshop, Lynn Flewelling will outline what depth psychology is;
give a brief overview of the history of 20th century Western dream work;
and present three methods for working with dreams, drawing from the
work of Sigmund Freud, Jung, and Stephen Aizenstat, Ph.D., creator of
the Dream Tending method, which approaches dreams as living
manifestations of the dreamer’s psyche. In the experiential portion, Ms.
Flewelling will demonstrate the dream tending method with a volunteer,
then workshop participants will divide into dyads and tend each other’s
dreams under the guidance of the instructor. Sufficient time will be
given so that both dyad partners can personally experience this method.
Finally, participants will create art inspired by their own dream work
experience.
Important: Please
write down one of your recent dreams and bring it for the dyad work.
Practicing with our own material is crucial for doing dream work with
others. As Jung observed, we can only take our patients as far as we
have been ourselves. Please bring drawing paper and whatever you like to draw with, so long as there are colors. Crayons are great!
Learning Objectives: 1. Develop a basic understanding what the umbrella term Depth Psychology includes. 2. Understand the history of Western therapeutic dream work. 3. Have a schematic model encompassing the conscious and unconscious and how they connect. 4.
Understand the difference between popular “dream interpretation” and
therapeutic dream work and be able to explain it to clients. 5.
Learn a methodology with which to work with both a client’s dreams and
their own, including providing a safe container in which to do the work. 6. Understand that doing dream work with clients requires ongoing learning and practice with the therapist’s own dream material. Lynn
