Online Dreamwork 
I have three types of online dreamwork available, to suit your time and needs:

  • Working a dream via e-mail. Once we set up an agreement, you e-mail me a dream and I respond with ideas, questions, and "homework" suggestions. You send your answers and discoveries, and we continue like this until we have achieved some resolution. 
  • One-on-one dream class. This class format contains six lessons on basic dreamwork, and also allows for work on two of your dreams. Again, it's all done via e-mail, but has more content than the first suggestion. Some of the lessons will be specially adapted for your dream content. 
  • Working a dream on the phone. You will need to write down one of your dreams, and we will set up a day and time for a phone call to work on it together. 

Personal Dreamwork Philosophy
Before you begin working with any dreamworker, it's a good idea to see if your basic philosophies and values mesh comfortably. Here are some of my personal beliefs about the work that I do. 

  • The dream belongs to the dreamer
    I believe that the dreamer is the only person who knows what the dream is saying. It's the job of the facilitator to ask questions, make suggestions, and speak to theory or research, but its the dreamer who decides if something rings true. 
  • The dreamer knows if a suggestion is correct when it "resonates."
    When someone makes a suggestion or a comment that is true to the meaning of the dream, the dreamer usually "feels" it. Sometimes the dreamer feels close to tears, or breaks out laughing, or has a physical response like goosebumps or a little shiver. Sometimes its more subtle, more of an internal "leaning" in one direction or another. This sense of resonance, an internal "click," is what we mean about a "hit." I believe its the job of the facilitator to help the dreamer find their own meaning, not to impose meaning upon them. I believe that telling someone what their dream means is bad dreamwork.
  • Dreams have meaning. 
    I believe that dreams have meaning, that they are more than the result of random electrical discharges in the sleeping brain. However, I can't prove that statement. I can point to hundreds of books and articles written by experts that say dreams have meaning. I can also use my own subjective experience, and that of my clients over the years, but that doesn't prove the statement is true. Perhaps what we call dreamwork is merely the projection of our own issues and experiences onto the dream. I donut think it matters. Whether dreams have intrinsic meaning or whether they are only used for our projections, they provide a format for internal work, which can lead to profound insight and change. 
  • Working dreams is therapeutic. 
    I believe that working dreams is therapeutic, but dreamwork is not therapy. Although trained therapists occasionally use their clients' dreams as a tool in the therapeutic process, the focus of therapy is not working dreams. Since I am not a therapist, it would be inappropriate for me to do therapy with my clients. My focus as a dreamworker is totally on helping my clients understand the meaning inside each dream. 
  • Dreams are a part of our spiritual work.
