Dreams: Conversations With Your Mythic Mindscape
Dreams are a pathway to the soul. We do not know our own unconscious until we listen to the dream that speaks to us in a foreign language: the language of the archetypes. By studying world cultures and natural patterns I’ve cultivated an archetypal perspective. This helps me translate dream images into mythological patterns. While some of these archetypal patterns point to what a dream image might mean classically, the truest meaning of a symbol must come from the dreamer themselves, and their relationship with their own unconscious. Dream facilitators and dream partners help us to see into these shadowy depths.
Dream Tending, a methodology by Stephen Aizenstat, is one way we will develop a relationship to our dreams. Robert Johnson’s Inner Work is another. By conversing with the images of dreams we learn the language of our own depths, and expand consciousness by welcoming the unconscious into waking life. Carl Jung says that in the realm of dreams, “He is still the whole, and the whole is in him, indistinguishable from nature and bare of all egohood.”
