Writing for Wellbeing Workshop Outline

Dream Writing Workshop: Nocturnal Journaling

(£30)

Online via Zoom

Saturday 11 December 2021, 7-9pm

Workshop Goal:

Use your dreams to understand yourself better. Learn the golden rules of dream journaling, the benefits of documenting your dreams, and take part in some guided writing exercises to help you process and explore your dreams.

Understand more about your dreams, to find creative inspiration while you sleep and how you can use your dreams to inform your writing or other creative projects. No writing experience is needed, just a desire to write and an active curiosity about your dreams.

What you’ll take from the sessions

Practical ways you can work with your dream journal

The best way to keep a dream journal

A feeling that you’re given yourself space and time just for you

Often the exercises can lead to integration of self

More understanding about your dream world

You’ll develop the ability to spot patterns, themes and dream signs

(This can lead onto my next course – which teaches you how to have a lucid dream.)

What to bring

• A notebook and pen. If you like, you may wish to buy yourself a dream journal if you haven’t got one already. (Any journal or notebook with lines – something you will enjoy writing in.)

• A cup of something warm and comforting, and a blanket (optional)

• A quiet space
