Nightmares and Trauma 

Guest: Deirdre Barrett, Ph.D. is Assistant Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School, Past President of the Association for the Study of Dreams, author of three trade books including Trauma and Dreams, Editor in Chief of the journal Dreaming and President of APA Div. 30, The Society for Psychological Hypnosis.

Topic Title:
Nightmares and Trauma

Description:
Can nightmares be part of a healing process? Dr. Barrett will discuss the significance of nightmares as well as how dreams are effected by, and help us deal with, Trauma. When a person has experienced a deep trauma, a pattern evolves in which the trauma is dreamed repeatedly, much as it happened, and becomes more “dreamlike” and surreal over time. These begin to change into “mastery” dreams for people who recover from the trauma. The repetitive, unchanging replays may continue, however, in those who develop severe posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their waking life. She will dicuss how coaching to develop “mastery” dreams can aid in the resolution of PTSD.

Dr. Van de Castle and Rita Dwyer will discuss the experience of spiritually-oriented and cosmic dreams, and how such dreams follow a dreamer’s cyclic transformation journey through the continuum of existence, from discovery of self as a physical and spiritual individual, to an appreciation for collective consciousness and the discovery of each dreamer’s part in the cosmic whole.

Dreams and Healing

Techniques for Working with Your Own Dreams 

Guest: our Host Bob Hoss MS, former President and Chair of the International Association for the Study of Dreams. 

Topic Title:
Working with Your Own Dreams

Description:
The unique state of the dreaming brain creates a language of metaphor and association, personal associations that express a whole world of emotions and memories descriptive of the situation your dream is dealing with. Dream imagery evolves from personal associations, and therefore the meaning must come from within the dreamer, it cannot be determined from a book or dream “expert”. Dreams can be understood if we deconstruct the words and imagery in the dream narrative using the dreamer’s own personal associations. A even more direct way to understand a dream’s meaning is to let the dream imagery “speak”. Bob Hoss will offer simple techniques for working with association, metaphor as well as demonstrate a simple Gestalt based approach, lovingly called “the 6 magic questions,” for revealing the personal meaning and emotions contained within a dream image and comparing it to your waking life situation and feelings.

Techniques for Working in Dream Groups 

Guest: Rev. Dr. Jeremy Taylor is one of the original founders and past Presidents of IASD. He is the author of three books on dreams and dream work, founder of the Marin Institute for Projective Dream Work, and teaches at several institutes around the world.

Topic Title:
Working in Dream Groups

Description:
Sharing or working with dreams in a group, particularly in non-therapeutic settings, can require a very different approach than individual or personal dreamwork. Leading a dream group requires a special discipline in order to maintain a safe and ethical environment which recognizes the dreamer as the decision maker regarding the significance of the dream. Imposing one’s own interpretation on another’s dream can be harmful. Jeremy Taylor will discuss an approach to Projective Dream Work which is delightfully helpful not only to the dreamer but to the group as a whole and which uses disciplines that avoids the harmful effects of assigning authority over, or knowledge of the dreams meanings to someone who is not the dreamer


Show #13, 9 May 9AM
Intuition and Dreamwork
Dr Marcia Emery

Guest: Dr. Marcia Emery

Dr Emery will discuss the intuitive mind’s two significant roles in dream work. The first role which is premonitory or precognitive is embodied in Edgar Cayce’s statement, “Nothing of significance happens unless it is first previewed in a dream.” The second role is to use intuition to unravel the mysteries embedded in your dream images. You can discover how to use intuition to retrieve, respect and listen to the insights embedded in your dreams.


Show # 14 Wednesday, 16 May 9AM
Dreaming a Bridge between Science and Religion

Kelly Bulkeley, PhD, is a Visiting Scholar at the Graduate Theological Union and teaches in JFKU’s Dream Studies Program in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is a Past President of IASD, and is author of The Wilderness of Dreams and The Wondering Brain, co-author of Dreaming Beyond Death, and editor of Dreams: A Reader and Soul, Psyche, Brain.

Dr Kelly Bulkeley will be discussing how dreaming might be a bridge between Science and Religion.  If the study of dreams is to realize its fullest potential, it will have to find creative ways to integrate the ancient wisdom of the world’s religions (all of which venerate dreaming as a valuable means of human-divine interaction) with the latest findings of modern science (which has shown the roots of dreaming in the healthy functioning of the mammalian brain-mind  system).   This is the goal of Dr. Bulkeley’s work.  As part of the discussion he will touch on some specific issues in Islamic dream theory and its relationship with Christian dream teachings, pointing to the potential for greater mutual understanding and respect between these two traditions.”

1 18-July Dreaming as a Unique State of Consciousness –

David Kahn, PhD
We are actually conscious when we sleep, but the kind of consciousness we experience when we sleep is very different from the waking state. The differences are caused by changes in our brains and bodies. Dr. David Kahn, of the Harvard Medical School, will discuss the major changes that occur in our brains when we fall asleep and begin to dream that lead to dreaming consciousness. He will also highlight recent research and will discuss some of the ideas that researchers have suggested for why we dream.

Dr. David Kahn is President of the Association for the Study of Dreams. Dr Kahn received his Ph.D. in Physics from Yale University and is currently on the faculty of Harvard Medical School in the department odreamtimeradio1/03-Gayle_Delaney_%20DreamTimeRadio_ONE-07FEB28.mp328.mp3stand normal states of the brain while dreaming.

3 1-Aug Bob Van de Castle, PhD – What the Content of Our Dreams Can Tells Us

Dr Robert Van de Castle, who co-developed he Hall/Van de Castle scales for the content analysis of dreams, will discuss how the systematic study of dream content can reveal much about the nature of dreams as well as about us the dreamer. His work with Calvin Hall provided us with a solid approach for quantitatively investigating dreams – increasing our knowledge of dreams from that of observation and conjecture to quantifiable data.

4 8-Aug Justina Lasley, MA – Exploring the Development of Self Perception through Dreamwork

Working with dreams in a group creates a unique dynamic, often helping to facilitate the process beyond that of individual dream work or therapist/client work. Justina Lasley will discuss her investigations into the individual experiences of being part of a dream group and regularly working on personal dreams, and what she found as to what ways the participant’s dream group work facilitates individual changes in the perception of Self. The research with the group members also focused on how the group facilitates the process beyond that of individual dream work or therapist/client work.

Justina Lasley is the founder of the Institute for Dream Studies and is the director of the DreamsWork™ Certification Program in Charleston, SC. She is the author of Honoring the Dream: A Handbook for Dream Group Leaders and In My Dream, a creative dream journal. Justina’s special interest is in using dreams as a spiritual source for personal growth through an exploration of emotions and energy. She has led groups, presented lectures and workshops for dream group leaders throughout the U.S. and abroad for over sixteen years.

Recent findings are presented on the nature of dreams with sexual content and their relationship with waking day sexual behaviours/attitudes. Typical characteristics of sex dreams are also reported. Results suggest that sex dreams contain more meaning about waking life relationships than they do about sex life or sexual fantasies.

6 22-Aug Kenneth D Howell – Evolution of the Dreaming Brain

The human brain is a product of millions of years of evolution. Our ability to dream is a product of the complex and distinctive neurological attributes our primordial ancestors evolved to meet the demands of their survival. Kenneth Howell will discuss some of the theories encompassing the remarkable path our dreaming brain traveled to produce this extraordinary experience. He will offer a perspective of dreaming that could profoundly influence the ideas we have formed about the nature, advantage, and benefit of this surreal, often spiritual experience.

8 5-Sept Does dreaming have a function – Mark Blagrove Phd

9 12-Sept – Dreams before and after 911

Ernest Hartmann, MD
The events of 9/11/01 allowed for a careful systematic study of dreams before and after an event that was traumatic or at least stressful for all of us. Forty-four persons, who have been recording all their dreams for years, each supplied twenty dreams from their journals — the last ten recorded before 9/11/01 and the first ten after. All 880 dreams were scored on a blind basis. Dr Hartmann will discuss the effects of trauma on dreams in general, and the results of this study, including the more powerful imagery in the dreams after 9/11.

Ernest Hartmann, MD is Professor of Psychiatry at Tufts University School of Medicine. Dr Hartmann is one of the pioneers of dream research. He performed some of the original research on the sleep patterns in humans and discovered the REM-NREM cycle as one of the basic mammalian biological cycles. He is the author of over 325 articles, and nine books on sleep and dreams, including the classic in 1967 The Biology of Dreaming and most recently Dreams and Nightmares. He is a Past President of IASD and was the first Editor-in-Chief of Dreaming.
