Dreams speak in images, symbols, and emotions that often reach beyond the limits of everyday awareness. In the Jungian tradition, dreams are understood as meaningful expressions of the inner life—offering insight, guidance, and opportunities for reflection.
This four-session course offers an accessible introduction to Jungian dream analysis, led by Karen Raven, psychotherapist and Jungian Analyst-in-Training. Designed for those curious about dreams and personal meaning, the class blends short presentations with group discussion, exploration of published dreams, and optional reflection on participants’ own dream material.
Participants will learn how to approach dreams symbolically, notice recurring themes, and engage dream images with curiosity rather than fixed interpretation. Emphasis is placed on imagination, reflection, and dialogue as ways of listening to what dreams may be asking of us.
By the end of the series, participants will have a deeper appreciation for the role dreams play in psychological life and a clearer sense of how dream symbols can inform conscious awareness and personal growth.
No prior experience with Jungian psychology or dream work is required.
Class size is limited to six participants to support depth, trust, and ample time for reflection and discussion.
