Dreams & Nightmares.

Working with dreams in psychotherapy can be a very revealing experience. You might wonder why use a psychologist to interpret your dreams when one can easily find dozens of dream symbol dictionaries on the market. Yet, to truly experience your dreams is to come in direct relationship with the hidden, unconscious parts of your psyche. Because these images come from the unconscious, your normal consciousness is not usually willing to access the true meaning of the dream. As a skilled dream therapist, I can lead you in the right direction to discover the depth of awareness that can come from being in relationship with your dreams.

Dreams are just one of the many ways that you can access the hidden aspects of the psyche. You should not be worried if you don’t dream or don’t remember them. As you might see if you explore my website further, there are many ways to access the unconscious or dormant aspects of your psyche.

Nightmares are just one more way that dreams can attempt to convey the urgency of a message. It’s important to not take these messages too literally, but to explore the content of the dream in a safe, investigative environment such as with a skilled psychotherapist. Children are often susceptible to having nightmares, and my work with them can be both revealing and relieving.
