On the Path to Lucidity
One would do well to treat every dream as though it were a totally unknown object. Look at it from all sides, take it in your hand, carry it about with you, let your imagination play round it, and talk about it with other people. – C. G. Jung
Delve into Your Dreams
Short & Long-term Dream Groups
While we sleep, the brain’s intricate neurology connects us to a mysterious ‘sea of dreams’ – vast ‘domains of potentiality’. Dreams, whether felt to be positive or negative, memorable or inconsequential, fragmentary or complete, serve to connect us to a transformative energy that, like the power of the sea when harnessed, can change our lives and the world around us. While much of the good our dreams do us happens without our full awareness, to benefit fully from our dreams, we need to bring our attention to them – no matter whether we recall a dream as a whole or only in wisps – before the dream recedes into the forgetfulness of sleep or the distractions of waking life. Sharing your dreams with others in empathetic and supportive Dream Groups gives you the time and space to delve into dreams with deep feeling and awareness on the path to lucidity.

What truly connects us?
Dreams at the Heart of Our Humanity
To help us gain clarity about ourselves and our lives, dreamwork goes straight to the heart of the matter, by-passing the mind’s defences to reveal the thoughts of the heart and the soul’s gifts.
To share a dream requires honesty, openness, humility, and vulnerability. When a dream is disclosed, we can see our common humanity mirrored in the dream. We learn to listen feelingly and to become conscious of hidden connections. The authenticity of dream sharing arouses empathy and compassion in those who listen. By sharing in each other’s dreams, we become more fully human on our path to lucidity, awakened to the soul of humanity.
