Through the presentation of dreaming as an expression of the spiritual psyche, a felt sense of the spiritual psyche in clinical practice and in everyday life will emerge. Participants’ relationship to their own dream life will be catalyzed through reflective engagement and discussion. Dreaming — not ony at night but also in waking life — will be related to as a continuous mode of awareness and relationality that fosters vitality, imaginative interplay, and connection to our world and the cosmos.
