The Institute for Dream Studies

The Institute for Dream Studies offers a certification course for work with dreams in private and clinical settings. It is designed for therapists, counselors, spiritual directors, ministers, health care workers, teachers, as well as persons seeking spiritual insight.

The certification program is a two year program. The first year consists of three weekend sessions in Charleston, South Carolina and at-home studies. Attendance at the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD) annual conference is required in order to broaden the participants’ exposure to various experts and areas of dreamwork.

At-home study involves reading, writing, reflecting on personal dreams, attending dreamwork sessions with an approved dream therapist, and developing dream groups under supervision. There will be regular on-line sharing with other members of the program.

Participants will explore the process of organizing and leading dreamwork by honoring the dream in a spiritual manner. Details of individual and group work will be discussed and participants will learn creative methods of dreamwork. The aspects of energy and emotions will be examined in depth, as well as the process of personal growth and individuation. A provisional certificate will be issued to each participant who successfully completes requirements of the first year.

In year two, each student will be required to complete an internship by leading a dream group(s),as well as continuing studies through reading, writing, continuing personal dreamwork, and attending regional workshops and/or the IASD annual conference. On-line group sharing will continue. There will be three required attendance programs in Charleston for further learning during the second year.

With the successful completion of the internship year, the participant will be awarded an official DreamSynergy™ Certification, which will allow use of DreamSynergy™ materials and the authorization to practice under the umbrella of the Institute for Dream Studies.

You may apply on line at www. DreamSynergy.org, e-mail Justina@ DreamSynergy.org, or call 843-884-5139

Dreaming: Its Psychology, Its Meaning
X07.9009 / Non–Credit (no grades given)/ $340 (minus 5% website discount)
Since the discovery of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep in the 1950s, scientists have increasingly studied the physiology of sleep, hoping to unlock the function and meaning of dreams. But for millennia, every culture has had its ideas about dreaming. We explore our culture's psychological theories of dreaming, including those of psychoanalysis (Freud), other depth psychology (Jung), and of cognitive and linguistic psychology. We also look at current research and theories about how dreaming functions and what it means to us as humans, including the phenomena of lucid dreaming (being fully conscious in a dream state); universal dream themes; and myths or "public dreams."
10 Sessions: Wednesday 6:30pm-8:30pm October 5 - December 7, 2005
Professor: Dr. Frank Heynick, PhD Medicine, State University of Groningen (Netherlands) MA Applied Linguistics, Columbia University Dr. Heynick is the author of three books on dreaming and sleep, and dozens of academic journal and professional magazine articles and book chapters, including in the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, the Journal of Mind and Behavior, and the Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences.

Department of Consciousness Studies
Dream Studies Specialization, an Interdisciplinary program at JFKU in the School of Holistic Studies.

The Dream Studies Program at JFKU is alive and well within the School of Holistic Studies. The Specialization offers 10 different courses on dreams taught by our stellar faculty, including Fariba Bogzaran, PhD, Kelly Bulkeley, PhD, Jeremy Taylor DMin, Kimmy Johnson, Mehrdad Fakour, and Marylin Flowler The specific change that has occurred (2007) is that the program became a specialization rather than a certificate. We wanted our Dream Studies graduates to have a fuller academic experience than a certificate alone would provide, so we have now linked the Dream Studies Program with the MA programs within the School of Holistic Studies. The program that is ending is only the certificate version of Dream Studies. The Specialization program continues to be a vibrant part of Holistic Studies.

It is important for everyone to know that JFKU Dream Studies program began as a specialization in 1996. Gradually, upon demands, was expanded into a certificate program (2000) to accommodate those who already had their degrees. The interdisciplinary courses in dream studies have been gradually added since 1990 and now 19 years later we are offering 10 courses on dreams. At one point we had 13 courses on dreams but those 3 classes were electives and like many other programs curriculum often changes with time.

The University recently eliminated many of the certificate programs. That is the reason our program is now back to be a specialization. As Marilyn mentioned the program is intact with all the major courses.

Depth Psychology Master’s Program

www.sonoma.edu/psychology/depth

   The Psychology Department at Sonoma State University offers a 36-unit, 2-year M. A. program in Depth Psychology.  The program offers an integrated, intensive curriculum in the study of depth, Jungian, and archetypal psychology, which includes the study and practice of dreamwork.  Small 10-15 person classes emphasize both conceptual and experiential learning, and offer the opportunity for intensive community support.  The program models embodied learning and is cross-culturally sensitive.

 The Depth program develops practical skills in depth inquiry, which is the ability to access, explore, and gain meaning from hidden aspects of inner experience.  Dreamwork, active imagination, symbolic work, art process, body work, mask work, sandplay, and work with myth, movement, ritual, and sound, are all techniques of depth inquiry.

 The first year curriculum includes year-long courses in Theories of Depth Psychology; Methods and Applications of Depth Psychology; and Cross-Cultural Mythology and Symbolism.  These provide the foundation for the second-year passion-of-inquiry process that culminates in the Master’s thesis work.  Students choose 8 units of seminars in their second year, on topics of their choosing.  Past seminars have included Advanced Dreamwork; Authentic Movement; Art and Psychology; Art and Image; Teaching as Transformation; Shamanism; Alchemy; and Writing as Spiritual Practice.

 Students may do a teaching internship in their second year, which involves developing a curriculum around their area of expertise in depth psychology, and teaching an undergraduate course in the Psychology Department at Sonoma State.  Past courses have included Jung and Synchronicity; Psychology of Myth and Narrative; Jung and Tarot; Psychology of Fairy Tales; and Psychology of Masculine and Feminine.
