4 posts | 1 reading
A Clinician's Guide to Dream Therapy demystifies the process of working with dreams by providing both a grounding in the current science of dreaming as well as a simple, practical approach to clinical dream work. In addition to a survey of the current science and neuroscience of dreaming, this book includes clinical examples of specific techniques with detailed transcripts and follow-up commentary. Chapters cover how to work with PTSD nightmares and how to use experiential dreamwork techniques drawn from current neuroscience to engender lasting change. Readers will be able to discuss their clients' dream material with confidence, armed with an approach that helps them collaboratively tap into the inherent power for change found in every dream.Backed by research, common factors analysis and neuroscience, the approaches described in this book provide a clear map for clinicians and others interested in unlocking the healing power inherent in dreams.

“All life is only a set of pictures in the brain, among which there is no difference betwixt those born of real things and those born of inward dreamings, and no cause to value the one above the other.”
- The Silver Key, H. P. Lovecraft

It's gratifying to come across a familiar and apposite quote under a chapter heading 😊

Without having intended it, my fiction and nonfiction reading have intersected, with Lovecraft's Randolph Carter journeying to the Dreamlands in search of a vision he glimpsed, and a thought-provoking study of dreamwork, including how one might hold onto glimpsed dream visions. I shall have to keep the narratives separate in my mind 😄

“A dream is not the mind's attempt to obscure, but rather the body's attempt to communicate in the way that comes most naturally.”
