Our dreams speak a universal language that comes to us in the service of health and wholeness. It is believed that they originate from the Self, the divine within that not only supports the purpose of our existence, but provides respite and guidance in our lives.
Paramhansa Yogananda defines dreaming as “A subconscious state of mind when the prana is withdrawn from the senses and combine with the imagination, which is the visualizing ability of the conscious mind.”
He also said: “Introspection is a mirror in which to see recesses of your mind that otherwise would remain hidden from you.”
In this 2-morning workshop, we will discuss:
– the history and spiritual tradition of dreams
– why and how we dream, and its different levels, as explained by Yogananda
– their purpose and function in our lives
– how to remember, record and incubate our dreams
– using our dreams to deepen and guide our spiritual journeys
– ways to interpret our dreams and sacred symbols
– how to extend a dream symbol through creative expression and active imagination
This workshop is in two parts held on Oct 26 and Nov 2.
On the second morning, you will have the opportunity to process a dream you have through the association method, and if desired, through a group process.
Bring a significant, recurring, or recent dream and we’ll process it together on the second morning. And if you don’t have a dream or even dream at all, then this workshop will certainly inspire dreams to come to you for introspection and guidance.
