Exploring our Unlived Life Through Dreamwork
Presented by
Sherri Mahdavi, PhD
Sunday, April 26, 2020, 4:00 - 6:00 pm
In each of us is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves. – C.G.Jung
The unexamined life is surely worth living, but is the unlived life worth examining? – Adam Phillips
Jung viewed the dream as a continuous form of communication from the unconscious Self to the conscious ego. In this lecture, we will discuss how the awareness of our dreams and their symbolic content can connect us to our unlived life, the life we have not yet experienced. Drawing from case material we will examine different approaches to analyzing dreams, including working with the dream material through active imagination.
Learning objectives:
-
Give examples of how a dream can reflect an unconscious conflict.
-
Describe how the method of active imagination can be applied to dream work.
-
Explain what is meant by the concept of the shadow and give examples of how it can manifest in a dream.
-
Give examples of how images in dreams can connect us to our unlived life.
