Working with dreams allows us to explore aspects of the psyche that are often hidden from the conscious mind. Dreams offer a unique opportunity to address and heal the impact of feeling overlooked or oversimplified in our waking lives. They provide a space that is both nuanced and deeply compassionate, meeting us with honesty and empathy.
Dreams act as a bridge to parts of us that may be difficult to confront directly. They present our experiences and emotions through specific and symbolic imagery, making complex feelings more accessible and open to exploration. This symbolic representation invites play, metaphor, and relational depth, creating space for insight and revelation.
Engaging with dreams provides a foundation for curiosity and inquiry, soulful connection, and a sense of being held and helped by something vast and highly intelligent. By working with the dream’s imagery and messages, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the larger narrative of our lives.
In our sessions, you’ll bring one or more dreams that resonate with you. I will guide you through the exploration of your dreams, focusing on the feelings, symbols, settings, and characters. With a sense of presence and curiosity, we’ll delve deeply into these elements to uncover their meanings and significance.
Together, we’ll explore deeply a part of the dream or the dream as a whole and how it relates to your life, the things you carry – unprocessed feelings, memories, hurts – the grit inside as well as all of your potential and innate resources. By the end of the session, you’ll receive grounded takeaways that you can apply in your waking life to honor and integrate what the dream has to offer.
