Have you ever thought of bringing
your dreams to therapy?
Dreams can often be a source of
concern to us or seem significant in terms of what they might mean in relation to our
lives. We may feel that they contain a message or are linked to our unconscious
wishes, fears or memories. Sharing your dreams in therapy can often bring
insight to part of your life that you may not be aware of. Dreams can be
explored in terms of how every aspect and happening in the dream may represent you
and different parts of your life.
In therapy it is important to recognise
that the content of your dream, just as in life, will have a unique meaning for
you. With that in mind, dreams are best interpreted by the dreamer themselves.
The role of the therapist is to help to make connections between aspects of the
dream and your life and explore what can be learned from these associations.
There are a number of ways of
working with dreams in order to help you to make sense of them and meet your
needs and hopes for this type of work. It is possible to work with fragments of
dreams as well as complete stories.

therapy?
