Listening to the Night: Dreams and the Soul’s Movement
On Friday night, we will examine the crucial principles of Jungian dream analysis, their

​
After completing this session, participants will be able to:

Describe the general structure of dreams, including key components and common patterns relevant to clinical understanding and interpretation.

Differentiate between Sigmund Freud’s and Carl Jung’s theoretical approaches to dreams, with attention to their underlying assumptions, methods, and therapeutic aims.

Saturday Morning, 2/28 at 9:00 am
The “Little People” of the Unconscious: Dream Examples
On Saturday morning, we will explore a series of dreams that illuminate the “little people” Jung
described as dwelling within the unconscious psyches of traumatized individuals—inner figures
whose repeated emergence redirected and guided the analysis and catalyzed psychological
development.
​
After completing this session, participants will be able to:
-
Explain how dreams reveal psychological complexes and articulate what unconscious dream material communicates about the nature and activity of these complexes.
-
Describe the self-regulating function of the psyche as demonstrated through dream imagery and processes, using clinical examples to support understanding.
-
Discuss how dreams may contribute to healing the psychic split between the conscious and unconscious, as conceptualized by Carl Jung, and relate this process to the emergence and treatment of psychological distress.
Saturday Afternoon, 2/28 at 12:30
Being with the Dream: An Experiential Afternoon
On Saturday afternoon, we will enter an experiential session in which we will work on the
dreams of volunteers, creating a space for the psyche’s symbolic activity to reveal itself to us.
Volunteers who feel called to work with a dream are asked to submit their dreams in typed
format by Saturday morning.
​
After completing this session, participants will be able to:
-
Describe the process of immersing in a dream and explain Jung’s concept of “allowing oneself to be acted upon by the dream,” (CW 17: 189) as it informs experiential dream work.
-
Explain how somatic attunement supports the re-experiencing of the dream’s life force and illustrate its role in facilitating the unfolding of the analytic process.
-
Discuss how attending to the embodied sense of dream images invites engagement with mystery and articulatehow this approach can expand ego awareness and psychological understanding.
