Freud saw dreams as fundamentally an expression of the inner world of the dreamer. Contemporary therapies and dream science have tended to follow him in this (to the extent that dreams are allowed any significance at all). But Westernised cultures are relatively unique in insisting that dreams are intra-subjective. Indigenous cultures, historically and to this day, have seen dreams as reflecting social, trans-generational and transcendent realities.
READ MORE...What does it say about our basic cultural assumptions, that we view dreams in such an individualistic way? How might it affect the way we work with dreams, to view them as multi-dimensional?
We will start by exploring experientially the interface between the personal and the social in dreams, through a social dreaming matrix, private reflection, work in pairs, and communal processing. This will prepare the ground for us to hear more about multi-dimensional approaches to dreaming in indigenous cultures, from Dr Robin Sheriff and Dr Lewis Mehl-Madrona, with time for discussion. In a final plenary session, we will reflect with our speakers on where these explorations take us.
The social dreaming matrix will be available for 50 participants to attend in person, the afternoon lectures are open to all and will be available in person for those attending the matrix and online for those joining us for the afternoon of lectures and discussion. Dr Sheriff and Dr Mehl-Madrona will be participating online.
