JUNGIAN DREAM GROUP
This ongoing dream group is composed of analysands, many of whom are clinicians, who share an interest in exploring dreams within a reflective and psychologically sophisticated community. The group provides a space in which dreams are approached as meaningful expressions of the unconscious and as important sources of insight within both personal and analytic work.
Members take turns presenting their dreams, and the group devotes extended time to each person’s material so that the images, emotional tone, and symbolic layers of the dream can unfold gradually. Approximately four hours are devoted to each individual’s dreams across the cycle, allowing for a depth of exploration that is rarely possible in shorter formats. This structure supports a careful and respectful engagement with the dreamer’s experience, enabling the group to enter the symbolic and relational dimensions of the dream world without haste.
The atmosphere of the group is both rigorous and supportive. It is intentionally cultivated as a psychologically safe space where participants can bring vulnerable material and feel genuinely seen and received. The extended exploration of each dream encourages thoughtful reflection, associative dialogue, and the emergence of deeper patterns that may not initially be visible.
The work is both didactic and process-oriented. While grounded in Jungian approaches to dreams and the unconscious, the group also draws on a range of complementary perspectives. These include insights from Andean healing traditions and cosmology, attachment theory, and other psychoanalytic and relational orientations. Clinical knowledge, symbolic understanding, and lived experience are all welcomed as part of the collective inquiry, creating an integrative and eclectic approach to dream work.
The group is ongoing and meets biweekly on Wednesday mornings from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (Mountain Time). Billing occurs in six-session cycles, with a fee of $240 per six-session interval.
