A Little Course In Dreams

This is a hands-on manual for anyone who is interested in dreams.

Robert Bosnak offers exercises and strategies for studying dreams, including: • Remembering and recording dreams • Analyzing a written dream text • Studying a series of dreams for its underlying themes • Using the techniques of active imagination and amplification • Working on dreams alone, in pairs, and in groups Through this Little Course in Dreams it becomes clear that the imagination is a powerful force that simultaneously "poisons" us and provides the remedies to the soul's ills. Dreamwork thus opens the way to the healing and transformation of the soul.

Comprehensive guide to an understanding of dreams in light of the basic principles of analytical psychology. Particular attention to common motifs, the role of complexes, and the goal and purpose of dreams.

In Tracks in the Wilderness of Dreaming Bosnak teaches us to reevaluate our dreams in a new light, and to utilize our dream interpretations as never before. As an outgrowth of his work with Australian aborigines and twenty-five years of leading dream groups internationally, renowned Jungian therapist Robert Bosnak has developed a highly visceral and tactile method of reentering and exploring dreams as real worlds--in a communally accessible, cathartic, and transformative experience. In this book Bosnak offers all the practical tools and techniques with which to explore our inner lives--and to change the way we look at our dreams and ourselves forever.
