ARCHETYPAL DREAMWORK

Our culture, so focused on success and safety in the world, has distanced us from our connection to divine love. We spend our time escaping from feeling the fear and pain that are a natural part of being human. We compete, analyze, judge, feel self-pity, shame, blame, project, use any number of patterns of avoidance. These patterns are often so deeply ingrained in us that we cannot even see them in ourselves. We are blind to knowing that our childhood traumas are, in fact, driving our behavior. We have lost not only the capacity to feel painful feelings, but also the capacity to feel the deep love and joy that come with divine connection.

Every part of a dream is either an expression of our alienated self or an invitation to connection to divine guidance. Traditional dream interpretation is based on how a person functions in the outer world and therefore often takes a soul-alienating perspective. Archetypal Dreamwork is more concerned with reconnecting a person with their essence, their soul, God, and ultimately full aliveness.
