The answer from science is that sleep has several phases of activity that recurs periodically in Rapid Eye Movement (REM). This is when the eyes dart about under the eyelids and the respiratory rate changes. Science offers no satisfactory far less a consensus assessment of the dream’s function. But what of the art of dreaming? If we spend a third of our life in sleep and a quarter of sleep in dreaming, we might do well to come up with our own answers, from experience. If you feel stuck in your life or your work, dreams can mainline the cause and the solution from your unconscious. You will learn your own dream symbols and images and gain insight into your inner life.About the Facilitator - Christine MeekChristine trained with Dr Diana Bates at Wellspring 38 years ago in a Jungian/humanistic approach. Dreamwork was an integral part of this training. She did a further two years’ work in a Jungian dream group and continues to use dreamwork daily in her practice and in her own life. She is particularly interested currently in changes in dreams during Lockdown.Agenda This workshop will be practical rather than a theoretical workshop. 10.00 Introduction10.15 Demonstration of the approach with a volunteer&#x27;s dream11.15 Break11.30 Work in pairs to explore each other&#x27;s dream 12.30 Lunch13.30 Work in pairs to explore each other&#x27;s dream - continued14.30 Plenary15.00 CloseWho is it for?
