Hello, and welcome to my blog about dream interpretation!
Who I am
I am a dream worker with over 40 years of experience
helping people interpret their dreams.
My Approach
As part of my decades-long study of the dreaming phenomenon,
I have come to the understanding that the dreaming process continues while we
are awake. Certainly a dream can be a series of images that one remembers from
sleep. But if one looks carefully at the odd or upsetting events of daily life—the
ones that occur while we are going about the normal activities of our day—those,
too, are dreams and can be interpreted exactly like the dreams we have at
night. This idea that we can take the normal events of waking life and
interpret them as dreams is what makes my approach different from that of many other
excellent dream analysts.
Blog Themes
· On this site I offer examples of dreams, relating
the dream itself and then giving the interpretation that I helped the dreamer
come up with.
·
From time to time I highlight the most important
principles of dream interpretation so that you, the reader, can have a clearer
understanding of my approach and can even start working on your own dreams.
·
I spend time restating and explaining this
revolutionary idea that dreaming goes on 24 hours a day, whether we are asleep
or awake. I give lots of examples of this phenomenon which I call a “waking
dream.”
With all of these topics, I invite your discussion and always
welcome your insights.
My Background
My interest in dreams started when I was an undergraduate
student at Earlham College in eastern Indiana. As part of an internship in psychology
I began teaching children at a local outpatient mental health clinic. This was
in the late 1960s before congress passed a bill authorizing a national policy
in regard to special education. As part of our specialized training in teaching
mentally disabled children, we teachers took as much advantage of relevant psychology
seminars and workshops as we could. One workshop I attended was offered by
Gestalt psychologists who were also experts on dreams. I had already studied
the dream theories of Freud and Jung among others, and the Gestalt approach
dramatically changed my thinking. That experience eventually led to my own
theories and methods which are the ones I write about and discuss on this blog.
My Current Dream-related Activities
I am a past member of the International Association for the Study
of Dreams, and I have been a presenter at their annual, international seminars. Now, semi-retired, I have I lectured, taught classes and workshops, and still offer individual dream interpretation sessions via
Skype, telephone or in person, and I am the author of the book Always
Dreaming available online.
On my “Events” page you can find links to many radio
and YouTube interviews that I have done. Here is the link to my most frequently
watched clip on YouTube. ( Link to my YouTube Clip )
