Why do people dream? We get hurt by our one-sided views. Dreams show us what we are missing, the opposite side. Dreams beome nightmares when it is urgent that we see the opposite side.
Dream interpretation releases blocks. It can help you with your work, your relationships, and your creativity.
I've been a Jungian analyst in New York for the past 23 years and I'm specially trained to work with dreams. I work with individuals an couples and run two on-going therapy groups. I've been president of the C.G. Jung Foundation for the past 6 years.
Dream interpretation is hard to do by yourself because thinking supports your conscious viewpoint: a dream compensates (contradicts) your conscious viewpoint. So, when you think you understand it, you may be mistaken.
Dream interpretation is not by the book. The structure of dreams is logical but dream symbols are creative: they use paradox, humor, and imagination. Dream interpretation is like interpreting a poem.
Fairy tales and dreams each compensate one-sided viewpoints and they each use the same symbolic language. We can learn that symbolic language by interpreting fairy tales.
You will find on this page free audio-recordings of a series of fairy tales and my interpretation of them; also a lively article by myself on dreams and therapy; also a synopsis of my technique of dream interpretation; also descriptions of the many classes I teach in New York on the interpretation of dreams and fairy tales.
