Healing Power of Dreams

Dream Work as Integrative Medicine

The Healing Power of Dreams pairs ancient wisdom about dreams and healing with contemporary science and mind/body practices.  Our work, which is a project of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD), dramatically demonstrates how dreams show us where we are at dis-ease in our lives and open us for healing.

Dreams and nightmares stir up emotions, perceptions, attitudes and patterns of behavior that need our conscious attention.  Dreams spotlight our fears and conflicts — and show us how to move through them to achieve our deepest hopes.  Healing Power of Dreams offers techniques for using our dream imagery to positively impact the immune system. Our approach is grounded in basic dream-work methods and integrates these with time-tested relaxation and guided imagery practices. Using dream imagery through a variety of meditative activities, you learn to transform nightmare experiences and to integrate healing imagery into waking life.  In the process, you discover the many levels on which dreams heal!

While we have worked primarily with cancer patients, we believe the work we do has application for other types of illness too—and for anyone seeking a fuller sense of wellness in life.

We are grateful to the International Association for the Study of Dreams, the Lloyd Symington Foundation and the H.M. Bitner Charitable Trust for their support.
