Peter Lloyd will explore the dreaming life and how it appears in our waking state.
If, as Jung suggested, wholeness, our individualised state, is our life goal, then our life journey involves working with all of our psyche, our contradictions, those things that are not as we identify and perceive them to be.
“Ich bin kein ausgeklügelt Buch. Ich bin ein Mensch mit seinem Widerspruch”. Conrad Meyer. Translated loosely, (loosing the rhyme) as ‘I am not a sophisticated book, i am a human being’.
How then do we become more human and conscious, including of our inner worlds? By definition the unconscious is unknown so it’s emergence is often through the unintentional; our dreams, yearnings, synchronicities, relational conflicts and body symptoms amongst others. The meta qualities of curiosity, not pathologising parts of ourselves, awareness and acceptance help.
One philosophical orientation I have found helpful, if at times challenging, is that of the Jungian (and Aristotalean) concept of Teleology, our future calling us to her, with its implication of the meaningfulness of life as it simply is.
What ‘dream doors’ offer is that by noticing when those unplanned moments emerge, we can move closer to our soul’s unique journey. What helps us become more conscious is by allowing a deeper dimension to be perceived, by slowing down and using inner work, whether Active Imagination, reflections, dream journaling, therapeutic work or whichever personal way you contact your unconscious.
This will be an interactive exploration of how we meet the dreaming, which will include a couple of inner work exercises.
