Content:
This book presents a unique, simple but powerful approach for using your dreams for self- understanding and transformation. You will learn how to understand and speak the “language” of dreams using a method called Image Activation dreamwork. It is based on a unique combination of Gestalt dreamwork and the works of Jung, augmented with the latest in the biology of dreaming plus a ten year investigation into the significance of color in dreams. At the core of the approach is a scripted role-play technique called “the 6 magic questions” plus a color questionnaire. The book begins with the basics of dream science plus some of the most frequently asked questions regarding dreams and dreaming; a discussion of dream experiences including nightmares, physical factors; the effects of age from childhood on; paranormal and extraordinary dreams; and a discussion of psychological theories and approaches to working with dreams. It proposes how the latest findings in the neurobiology support the concept of a dream “language” – and discusses the implications those findings have on how best to work with your dreams. It continues with chapters on the complex personal and collective content within a dream image; working with personal content and personal mythology; working with collective content and the archetypes; and finally the research findings on color and how to work with color in your dreams (including two tables on emotional themes for triggering personal associations with color). The book concludes with a step-by-step Image Activation dreamwork procedure (with complete how-to examples) for understand your dreams in relation to your waking life, identify inner conflicts and impasses that impede your progress, and finally to use the compensating aspect of the dream to work on personal transformation. 254 pages, 12 chapters.
