Understanding and Incubating Dreams
with Gayle Delaney PhD.

Description: When we dream, we speak to ourselves in the language of
pictures and metaphors. Understanding this dreaming language opens the door
to creativity and insight that can greatly enhance our lives. Dr. Delaney
and our host Bob Hoss will discuss some simple techniques you can use for
understanding your nightly dreams. Gayle will describe her method of
interpretation called the Dream Interview that you can use on your own or
with a friend. The Dream Interview replaces old wives' tales as well as old
psychiatrist's interpretive pronouncements with a series of carefully
crafted questions that allow you to discover your own private meanings. She
will also discuss how we can target dreams for specific problem solving with
her method of Dream Incubation.

Gayle Delaney PhD, founding president of the International Association for
the Study of Dreams, Co-director of the Delaney & Flowers Dream Center in
San Francisco and author of 7 publications including In Your Dreams, All
About Dreams and Sexual Dreams.

- Dream Fires at Vernal Equinox

Dream Fires at Vernal Equinox
21st March 19.30- 21.30 p.m.
Danish Association for the Study of Dreams (FFSD)

At vernal equinox day and night are of equal length. Light and darkness
meet, and we move along with Spring into a period of increasing light.

-- From olden times such passages have been important to the culture, to the
inner and outer growth, and to man's attachment to and respect for the
rhythm of the earth.

The Association is intent to reiterate at each vernal equinox this ritual,
which is based on old traditions, renewing it with contemporary meaning.

We shall use our dreams as a portal into the inner world and through the
fire unite with the power of nature. Contacting the dreams and the fires
will create a connection between people on this earth as well as a tangible
and shared network of light and consciousness.

We invite everybody to meet in small or large groups, public or private, on
this particular evening. Or, of course, do it on their own.

We suggest to follow below points so as to create a common reference, thus
intensifying the bond and facilitating the sharing of experiences:

1. Time and date: Wednesday 21st March 19.30 - 21.30 p.m.
2. The participants to gather in groups. If you are alone, you might
visualize the connection to other groups or participants.
3. A fire to be lit, or alternatively a candle symbolizing the fire.
4. The participants to share their dreams around the fire. This can be done
in different ways like e.g. telling the dreams, drawing them or showing
drawings of them. Meditation, songs, dance, and music are other options.
5. Dream incubation. Before the end of the ritual to focus on the dreams of
the coming night. Each individual to visualize the fire before going to
sleep.
6. Reflection. Anybody having the desire and energy to do so, is invited to
share their evening by mailing experiences, thoughts, dreams, drawings, etc.
to the Association.

The material that we receive will be edited and maybe put on our website.

We intend to present our Equinox Dreams Project at the North European Dream
Conference in Lincoln, England next September. The theme of this conference
is Dreams and Culture.

We do hope that the above will inspire you to participate. If you have any
questions, you are welcome to put them to us by mail to mail@...

The International Association for the Study of Dreams Presents The Bay Area
Lecture Series

March 7 at the Dream Institute in Berkeley
Dreams and Personal Transformation with Bob Hoss, M.S.
Author of Dream Language and Executive Officer of IASD


The great luminary of the dream world, Carl Jung, observed that if dreams
have an ultimate plan in mind, it is a natural tendency towards establishing
balance and wholeness.

Jung described this as a process of transformation, a cyclical and
evolutionary process that can last throughout a night of dreams or a
lifetime.

Our dreams both reflect the stages of this transformation, and help to bring
it about. In this lecture and workshop you will learn how to recognize
transforming imagery even in your everyday dreams, how to understand what
the dream means to you in your life's situation, and how to work with it to
change your life. You will learn a simple Gestalt based technique to reveal
hidden feelings, conflicts, fears and desires that may be holding back your
progress in life; followed by a closure technique designed to use your dream
to project a potential path to wholeness. A worksheet will be provided.

Bob Hoss, M.S., is the author of the book Dream Language, Executive Officer
and former President of the International Association for the Study of
Dreams. As a scientist with training in Gestalt work, he has been teaching
dreamwork for over 30 years. He is on the faculty of the Haden Institute for
dream leadership training, and the adjunct faculty of Sonoma State
University. He frequently appears on radio and TV and his book was recently
featured nationally on ABC TV and in Readers Digest. Currently Bob Hoss is
hosting a thirteen-week radio show, Dream Time the Radio Show on Voice
America's health channel. This show features interviews with IASD experts.

Artists' Bio

Kata Dales of Altar Girl fame and Ross Kerr, infamous reclusive writer and
musician, have teamed up to bring you "Lost in the Woods," a comic which
explores how both dreams and technology change the ways in which we think
about ourselves and relate to others! Let's see if we can catch up with them
now!

I've just discovered Kata's "secret den of artistry." She's busily sketching
out a cover for some sort of e-zine, but seems to have a free moment..

"I've been doing comics since FOREVER, but Ross and I are the ultimate team.
I suppose one way you could look at our collaborative effort is that I focus
on the emotional intricacies of human relationships and Ross babbles about
things like 'discursive networks' and 'the ethical implications of
technological integration' until I get him to shut up. In addition to doing
the art I have to make sure Ross doesn't alienate our readership entirely."

Ross is sitting in his dorm room eating cereal and bashing on his computer
keyboard intermittently. He responded to me-at least, I think he was
speaking to me-when I asked him a few questions about the comic.

"I approached Kata one day and told her about a dream I had in which I was
reading a book that combined words and pictures in a sort of sequential
narrative. She told me that I must have been living under a rock for the
past century and proceeded to force me into reading 1,000 issues of shojo
(girls' Japanese comics). After that incident, I dropped the sprawling
postmodern masterpiece I had been writing in favor of making a comic with
Kata. I don't regret it in the least, because no one knows how to read
anymore."

That's all for now! Tune in at http://www.lostcomic.net for more wacky
adventures in cyberspace!

An Excerpt From The Lucid Dream Exchange
Robert Waggoner interviews author David L. Kahn
(c) Lucy Gillis 2007

An Excerpt From The Lucid Dream Exchange By Lucy Gillis

In LDE 42 Robert Waggoner interviews author David L. Kahn.


Lucid dreamer David L. Kahn has recently completed a book about dream
interpretation, "A Dream Come True", which recognizes the value of
precognitive material and lucid dreams. The book is currently being
reviewed by some publishers for possible publication. (You can purchase the
self-published version on-line at http://stores.lulu.com/lucidreverie)
David has been a lucid dreamer for nearly thirty years. He lives near
Minneapolis with his wife Chris, son Jacob, and daughters Kristin, Amanda
and Heather.


Robert: When did you first learn about conscious dreaming or lucid dreaming?

David: I was around ten or eleven years old. I saw a television show that
had a piece on lucid dreams, explaining what they are and how you can make
conscious choices in them, including to do things that would not be possible
in real life. I was glued to the TV. The show had an example of a girl that
was running on a beach while being chased by a person on a horse. She could
not see who the person was, because the rider was wearing a black hood. She
realized that this was a dream, stopped running, and turned to face the
person on the horse. The horse stopped running and the rider took of her
hood. She saw that the person on the horse was herself.

Robert: Can you recall your first lucid dream experience? Please, tell us
about that.

David: The very first time that I realized that I was dreaming while the
dream was occurring, I was perhaps 8 or 9. At that time I had never heard of
a lucid dream and I wasn't aware that I could change the dream. My first
true lucid dream was the same night that I watched the TV show. In the dream
I was at school with my friends when I realized that I was dreaming. I took
off and flew very fast over the school yard for a couple of minutes until I
awoke.

Robert: What about that lucid dreaming experience (or those early
experiences) did you find interesting?

David: I was surprised by how real the dreams felt. The dreams seemed as
real as waking life, sometimes even more so. The colors became very rich and
images became sharper. Sometimes I was surprised to find out that I didn't
have total control. How can I know that I'm dreaming, but be unable to walk
through this wall? There were also times that I recall telling my friends in
the dream that they too were dreaming, so quickly I realized that there are
different levels of lucidity.

Robert: At that time, what methods did you use to bring conscious awareness
into the dream state? Has that changed over the years?

David: I did a lot of work with lucid dreams during my teen years. I was
fascinated by Stephen LaBerge's work. I read his books and had an audiotape
of his at the time. I had some success with MILD, but mostly I found
incubation to be something that worked for me if I put enough effort into
it. I also experimented with reality checks during the day, and I even
bought a subliminal message tape. Mostly I just tried to keep lucid dreams
on my mind, often with books or tapes. That made a big impact on the
frequency of my lucid dreams. I recall one night as a teen having a lucid
dream, waking up, then going back to sleep and having another lucid dream.
In both dreams I attempted to fly my way out of my body. I didn't succeed,
but I did have strange circular flights. These days I still tend to use
dream incubation as my main method of inducing lucid dreams.

Robert: As you had more lucid dreams, were there any lucid dreams that made
a deep impression on you? Tell us about them.

David: Nearly all of my lucid dreams have made a major impact on me, but
there is one that was a major turning point in my life. I had this dream
about twenty years ago, when I was in my later teens. I was in an empty
room. There was a window on one of the walls. Nothing caused me to question
my reality, but I became lucid. The colors became very rich. I walked over
to the window and looked out onto an open meadow with a single tree in the
middle of the meadow. My vision focused in so that I could clearly see fine
details of the individual leaves. Each leaf was luminescent, glowing with a
bright green color. I realized at that moment that each leaf was alive, but
so too was the entire tree. I felt the connection between all living things.

Robert: Interesting! What did you take from this lucid dream experience?
What did it come to mean to you?

David: I remember that dream as though it happened last night. It had a
major impact on my life in subtle ways that may be hard to quantify. I see
the world and the people in it differently. I am reminded of the Native
American saying, "No tree is so foolish as to have branches fight amongst
themselves." In addition to the metaphoric meaning, I literally have never
looked at trees the same since. I notice the individual leaves, not just a
single tree. When I hear the sound of wind blowing through the leaves, it
has a calming affect on me. It is much like the peace you might feel while
taking a walk on a beach listening to the crashing sound of waves.

Robert: What experiments have you tried when lucid in the dream state?
Please describe and tell us about some of those?

David: One experiment that has stuck with me over the years took place in
another of my teenage lucid dreams. I decided that I wanted to hear what
music sounded like in a dream, so when I became lucid I made my stereo
appear in front of me. I had a cassette tape in my hand and tried to put it
in the tape player. For some reason the tape wouldn't fit, so I just jammed
it into the tape deck and forced it shut. Then out of nowhere I heard music.

It was unbelievable. The sound was coming from everywhere, as though it came
out of the air itself. It was the most crystal clear sound that I have ever
heard. Interestingly, prior to having this dream I had a few nights of
failed attempts at having a lucid dream. In one of those dreams I was
hearing music. The name of the song in that dream was called "Dreaming
Again." It is as though my mind was attempting to help me achieve my goal.

Robert: Have you ever tried "surrendering to the dream" or letting the dream
show you something unexpected or unknown? Or have you had lucid dream
experiences that were totally unexpected? What happened?

David: It is interesting that you ask this. I had a recent lucid dream that
was perhaps the longest lucid dream that I've ever had. It lasted several
minutes. After becoming lucid, I repeated nearly identically the events of
an out of body experience that I had many years ago. I walked through the
same window and began floating up above the same house and trees. I then
felt that I wasn't just floating, but I was being lifted under my arms by
something that I could not see. I had a brief moment of doubt and began to
drop, with a feeling in my stomach like being on a roller coaster. I
realized that I had to let go of my doubt, and I continued to float. I then
turned my arms so that my hands were facing up. I repeated several times,
"Show me what I need to see." As I was saying these words, I felt myself
being quickly turned in different directions. In one direction I saw a
silhouette of a large tree in a sunset. Eventually I went over the ocean and
was dropped on an island, where my lucidity continued as I explored the
island.

I realized a couple of interesting things after this dream. One is that I
recognized the tree silhouette inside of a sunset as the wallpaper image
that I have on my computer. Later that day I took a look at my computer
screen wallpaper, which hadn't changed in months, and I noticed something
that I had never seen before. I saw something very small next to the tree. I
zoomed in on it and saw that it was a headstone. It wasn't scary. The
feeling that I had is that something has been in front of my eyes all this
time and I didn't see it until now. The other realization that I made is why
I kept repeating the words, "Show me what I need to see." I had recently
written a poem into a chapter about spiritual dreams in my book. My dream
was telling me to listen to my own words. Here they are...

Enlighten me to all I see

The storm at night, the sun by day
The black, the white, the shades of grey

The waves, the serenity of a calm sea
Dead branches for firewood, the living tree

The garden flower that smells so sweet
The cigarette butt tossed on the street

The house, the cars, the money you've made The piles of bills you've left
unpaid

Your friends, your family, the people who care Those whose presence you
cannot bear

Are you trapped or are you free?
Enlighten all it is you see

Robert: Have you experienced lucid dreams that made you question the nature
of reality?

David: I have precognitive dreams fairly often in both lucid and non-lucid
dreams. No matter how often that happens, I still find myself with a sense
of awe. In a recent lucid dream, I had a very bizarre experience unlike any
other dream that I've had. I was standing in front of a bathroom mirror when
I became lucid. I noticed that the shower curtain was blue, and I also
noticed geometric shapes on the shower curtain. I knew that I would be blue
when I looked back at the mirror. Indeed my skin was very blue, except for
my neck in the area that I recently had surgery. I looked away from the
mirror for a few seconds, and when I looked back something very strange
happened. I became the color blue. It wasn't just my skin color. I was
actually the color, as though without me blue would not exist. This is one
of my most difficult dreams to express in words, because it is hard to
describe what it feels like to be a color.

Robert: What questions did this bring forward about lucid dreaming and the
nature of consciousness?

David: More than ever I feel as though we have only touched the surface of
what reality is, and where we can go with our minds. I have no doubt about
precognitive dreams. I think anyone that experiences them has a knowing that
they are real, even if it can't be proven scientifically (yet). I also have
this sense that there is something guiding me that is beyond my own
subconscious. There are too many synchronicities, and somehow they have
never steered me wrong. If it was just coincidence, I would think that I'd
be steered wrong at least on occasion.

Robert: I understand that you have almost finished a book on dreaming, and
have a chapter on lucid dreaming. Tell us about the book.

David: The book is called A Dream Come True. It discusses many different
interpretation techniques that I believe would be affective for both
experienced and non-experienced dreamers. My belief is that many, perhaps
most, dreams include some precognitive material and that the dream cannot be
fully interpreted without seeing the past, present and future aspects of the
issue you are dreaming about. I also discuss recognizing angles and
3-dimensional space within dreams as a means of recognizing what may be
precognitive material. The more basic interpretation sections of my book
include such topics as understanding why your dream takes place in your
childhood bedroom, recognizing oversized objects, etc.

Robert: On the chapter on lucid dreaming, tell us a bit about your
viewpoint; what are you trying to get across to readers?

David: The information that I provide about lucid dreaming is something that
experienced lucid dreamers would easily understand. I felt it was important
to include a chapter on lucid dreams early in the book, because I have
included various lucid dream examples in other chapters ranging from
spiritual dreams to precognitive dreams. I think experienced lucid dreamers
would find some similarities in their dreams and gain further ideas about
what they can do with their own lucid dreams, while less experienced lucid
dreamers would gain a better understanding of the value of lucid dreaming.
In an example that I use in a chapter on "Actions and Figures of Speech", I
tell a story of a series of synchronistic events that occurred both in and
out of my dreams. An interesting part of a lucid dream is included in which
I ask a dream character for help in dealing with a financial issue that I
was having. The character replied, "Ask the old man." I don't know why, but
I awoke with the thought that "ask the old man" could be an acronym (ATOM).
I thought about atoms, and realized that the night before I had been reading
about molecules in a book by Dr. Wayne Dyer. I have a lot of respect for Dr.

Dyer's work, and he happens to be nearly the same age as my father. I
realized that he is "the old man." With this I knew that my answer was to
ask myself what Wayne Dyer would do in this situation. Instantly I heard
myself say, "Surrender and trust that the universe will take care of this."
So, my dream wasn't so much giving me financial advice as attitude advice.
Although in the end, the synchronistic events mentioned in this chapter of
my book did end up manifesting some real life solutions.

Robert: It seems like nowadays many people have heard about lucid dreaming,
and have a basic conceptual understanding. Does it seem odd that individuals
that are used to having individual dream experiences would have so many
similar common lucid experiences? What might that suggest?

David: Non-lucid dreams certainly seem to have a lot of common themes, as
indicated in Patricia Garfield's book The Universal Dream Key: The 12 Most
Common Dream Themes Around the World. It would make sense that there is at
least some commonality among lucid dreams as well. What I find interesting
is that lucid dreams seem to have their own similar experiences, often
different from those of non-lucid dreams. Flying dreams, dreams of light,
deceased family or friends, the richness of colors, and so forth don't seem
to fit into the standard mold of dreams. It seems that many of the
differences between standard and lucid dreams are spiritual in nature, as
though by reaching certain levels of consciousness we become more open to
those experiences. The most spiritual of lucid dreams have a feeling of
coming from someplace other than my own mind, and I have heard this
described by others.

Robert: What kind of lucid dream experiments could move forward the
understanding of the potentials of the dream state and lucid dreaming? What
would you like to see?

David: It would be interesting to look at precognitive dreams or remote
viewing dreams by two or more people simultaneously having lucid dreams (or
at least in the same night) in order to see if there is a difference in the
degree of accuracy. On a personal level, I am interested in dreams of light.

I am curious about experiences of others that may be similar to my tree of
life dream. Perhaps next time I should try to communicate with the tree, or
even to become the tree. Also, after my experience of becoming the color
blue, I am curious as to what else we might become. I think many of us have
become animals, different people, or even floating consciousness in our
dreams. What would it be like to become a beam of light, water, gravity, or
a geometric shape?

Robert: Thanks David, for your observations into lucid dreaming. Any parting
thoughts?

David: Trust the guidance of your dreams and then manifest their messages
into reality. That is how my book, articles and this interview came into
being. I felt guided, and over time I began to rid myself of doubt as my
dreams had shown me. Also, realize that sometimes there are signs right in
front of your face...

THE VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE
Drumming, Dancing and Dreaming for World Peace
Jean Campbell
March 2007

o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o


On May 14, 2006, Mary Whitefeather Joyce had the following dream:

We are all (many people for miles) are standing outside, not sure where, a
place I have never been to. We are all holding hands in a prayer for PEACE.
We are all dressed very colorfully, wearing colors of the rainbow. There are
children everywhere as far as I can see. There are many with drums. There
are 4 large pau wau size 24"-28" drums in a circle and within 4 corners as
though they represent the 4 directions. As soon as I hear the drum beats i
wake up!EOD

A few weeks later, when she created a Solstice Drumming Ceremony for the
International Association for the Study of Dreams' annual membership
conference in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, Mary Whitefeather met Jean
Campbell and other members of The World Dreams Peace Bridge. She soon
became a member of the Peace Bridge herself.

It was a great Valentine's Day surprise then to discover, on February 14,
2007, that Mary Whitefeather's dream from May 2006 seemed to be predictive.
That day she wrote a message to the Peace Bridge discussion list, saying she
had been asked to create "the world's largest ever drumming circle" at the
World Children's Festival on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on June
25.

Further, she asked the Peace Bridge to cosponsor this event, and we agreed
to do it. There's more. We are asking you to do it with us! Check the
Drum Dance and Dream for World Peace web pages at
www.worlddreamspeacebridge.org/drumming
(link available after March 10, 2007)

Quite literally, Dr. Ashfaq Isaq, whose International Child Art Foundation
(ICAF) sponsors the World Children's Festival has asked us to gather the
tribes...all of the tribes...to drum, dance and dream for world peace on
"Peace and Leadership" day at the World Children's Festival. The drumming
event will be at Fourth Street on the Mall, directly in front of the US
Capitol. And for those who cannot come to Washington, there are drumming
groups forming all over the world to join us on a day to create a peaceful
future for the world's children.

One of the workshops presented that day has also grown from a dream. World
Dreams Peace Bridge member Jeremy Seligson will present a Peace Train
Workshop, coming a few days early to the U.S. from his home in South Korea,
before traveling to the IASD conference in Sonoma.

Stay tuned for further developments.Joy

Dream: Game of September
Stan Kulikowski II

o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o


DATE : 15 feb 2007 06:24
DREAM : game of september

=( yesterday was a wednesday. after a few days of spring weather a cold
front moved in with a noticeable chill. i lit the fireplace which had been
unused the day before. it was valentines day. my mother only enjoys candy
bought the day after when it is marked down, so i must wait to buy it for
her on sale which takes much of the joy out of the holiday with no one else
to celebrate with. at least the mail order wine company had shipped me a
special heart shaped bottle of pinot grigio which i had enjoyed seeing in
the refrigerator for over a week. we cooked weenies over the fireplace and
drank the wine. i got to bed around 01:00 and went to sleep without any
problem. )=

it is after dinner and i have that slightly overfull feeling that you get
when finished from a memorable meal well prepared. the few people from our
neighborhood are gathered here on the back porch, stretching and talking
politely together in small groups. our host is a slightly elderly man of
very dominate character. he laughs a little too easily and a little too
loud but it is easy to forgive him for being just barely overbearing,
especially after such a good meal as he has prepared for us.

i meet with the young wife of our host over by the card tables. she is a
thin blonde woman, a trophy wife of considerable beauty but she has accepted
her position in life in no small degree as an accessory of a very famous
man. i had once felt sorry for her but have gradually grown accustomed to
her plight. today we have determined to learn together the game of
september.

sitting down together at the nearest card table, i shuffle the huge deck of
cards from the small boxes bought from the local voodoo shop.
it takes some time to arrange the many cards dealt into manageable hands.
she has an opening card which she plays face up in the shared book area near
the draw pile of undealt cards.

i think a little before i decide before i place a 'story' card next to the
opening. i am worried that she will pick up the card to put in her hand,
but instead she immediately places a feminine card next to it, so the play
now reads 'her story'. fortunely, i have a 'happy ending' card to fix the
plot structure so no one can pick up the developing sequence from here on.
it will take some time to add the content cards onto this line, but we have
the basis of a solid tale growing here.

i draw two cards from the undealt pile and think about discarding some into
my personal book area of the table. it is a little early to get down on the
board this way, but i would feel a little easier with fewer cards in my hand
to manage. perhaps i should hold off on scoring my personal card matches
until i see how the shared story unfolds and can make better judgements on
the perspectives of the plot view. some of the cards are smaller, shaped
like little blue clouds, and this makes it difficult to hold them with the
larger trump cards.

before i can decide on my next play, we are distracted from our game and
called over to her husband's side for the telling of a mutual joke that has
been told too often but it requires her attendence as always does. he knows
the game of september better than almost anyone here, but rarely enjoys
playing with novice beginners, so his wife and i have been left to learn how
to play by ourselves, making the mistakes that the inexperienced often must
suffer before they can see the overall patterns of common strategies.

"how goes your game?" he asks her in his overly expansive manner with
extravagant public gestures. he seems much like a falstaff holding court
with the local gentry in attendance.

"we have just started." she smiles back at him, waiting for him to launch
into his telling of one of the jokes as he always does whenever he has
gathered together an audience. she is familiar with her role as playing the
innocent simpleton with large eyes and affected manner. i wonder if we will
ever get back to our game abandoned on the card table and if it will be her
story that unfolds there. to discover one's destiny in such a manner is no
small thing but i doubt that it will be such an easy thing to accomplish.

=( awake at 06:15. this dream has a very solid feel to it even though none
of the characters are known well enough to me to have names. yet they seem
like very familiar persons that i should have known better. the woman with
whom i play cards seems rather like kathy ollie, a somewhat shy woman i knew
many years ago. she was the wife of a behavioral psychologist who taught at
the university in amherst but he was not at all like the overbearing husband
in this dream. the game with the voodoo cards seemed to have more
significance to me than it should. the telling of tales with the play of
cards is afterall what tarot decks are used for, but this game seemed to
have more the interactive play of canasta in its structure with a larger
deck of many more distinguished cards and suits. i do not quite know what
to make of a dream with a newly invented game in it, but it has a satisfied
and complete feeling of complexity to it so that i wish that i had played
longer at it and so know more of its details. )=

The Socratic Approach to Dreams
DreamRePlay
(Copyright 2007) David Jenkins, PhD

o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o


As you listen to a dream, It is almost impossible not to be bubbling over
with questions and interpretations. Part of the art of dream work is
learning how to transform your own ideas into good questions about the
dream. This column shows some ways to do that.

Framing Your Question

In some forms of dream work, you offer your thoughts to the dreamer. You
might say "I wonder if the dream means that you are concerned about your
work?" That was the thought that you had about the dream and therefore you
asked that question. For many reasons, this is not a good idea. One problem
is that the dream might mean something completely different to the dreamer
and therefore your idea, honest and intelligent as it may be, is nonetheless
intrusive and prevents the dreamer from thinking for herself.

Many dream workers would instead say, "If it were my dream, it would mean I
was concerned about my work." That preface, "If it were my dream...," is
powerfully effective in emphasizing that this is the listener's opinion and
allows for the fact that it may not fit for the dreamer.

But, the problem is that it still takes the dreamer away from her dream and
her thoughts and shifts the focus to the listener and his interpretation of
the dream.

If your opinion makes sense to the dreamer, your counsel will be highly
valued. If it doesn't, you are breaking the flow of the dream work. There is
a way of avoiding the dangers in offering your opinions.

The Jenkins Rules of Dream Work

Rule #1-Every opinion can be converted into a neutral question.

Rule #2-Deal with the problems within the dream. (Help the dream-self rather
than fix their waking life)

Working Backwards

In these examples, you will see how to work from your "raw" thought to a
question that stays with the dream.

Jane's Dream: I dreamed I was lost in a huge, empty building. I couldn't
find the way out.

Let's suppose that you "know" that Jane hates her day job and really wants
to be an artist.

You "know" that this huge building represents her impersonal downtown
corporation. You also "know" that if only Jane would pluck up the courage to
leave her job, she would get lots of work as a freelancer. Therefore all she
has to do is to get out.

This dream is a gift from heaven for you. You are dying to say, "Look, Jane,
the building represents your job. You have no friends there and that's why
it's empty. The dream is telling you to leave your job."

Listener, beware! For one thing you might be wishing to leave your own job.
Secondly, this conversation is not about you. Even if you are completely
right, the task is for Jane to find her own way out - and that is your clue.

In the dream work, you need to focus on finding a solution to Jane's
dream-problem. If you are right, that solution will apply - better than any
well-meaning advice you can give her.

First of all you know that you want Jane to leave her job. You believe that
is equivalent to leaving the building. Convert that into a question:

"Do you want to leave the dream-building or do you want to stay there?"

Now you have a perfect question. You have taken your prejudice and converted
it into a neutral question that works for the dream-Jane and yourself.
You've followed both Rule #1 and #2.

If Jane says, "I am happy in this building, I just want to find out where
everyone else went," then you have some very important information. You know
that this dream is nowhere close to your belief systems about Jane and her
waking job.

If Jane says, "I hate this building, I want to get out of it but I can't
find an exit," you have moved the dream work forward. Now you can start to
focus on getting Jane out of the building. You might ask "What floor are you
on?"
"Can you see any stairs or an escalator?" These are questions that orient
Jane to the task of getting out of the building.

If you are right about your assessment of Jane's work situation, then, as
you gradually work through the dream issues, Jane herself will link the
dream to her job situation. Even if you are wrong, you are still helping
Jane deal with whatever problems the dream is referring to.

Some Examples

I dream that there is a red pillow on my bed.

Listener thinks: The red represents anger.

Problem: It's too general to ask "Does red represent anger to you?" Some
reds may be anger but not all. It also ignores both rules #1 and #2.

Instead ask: "In the context of the dream, what does the red suggest?"

You can also ask how the dream would be different if the pillow were some
other color.

I dream I am with a group of people and there is a man who is rude to me..

Listener thinks: She is far too sensitive.

Problem: This may or may not be true and it may or may not be helpful..
Asking "Why are so sensitive?" is too loaded (as well as breaking rules #1
and #2); the dreamer will have to defend her right to be sensitive.

Instead ask: "What do you really want to say to the man who is rude to you?
In doing so, you will probably be given an insight into what triggers the
dreamer's "sensitivity. "


Conclusion

Listening to a dream is a double process. If you are involved then the dream
is stirring up your own mind. You need to catch these thoughts and bring
them back to the dream. If you deliver them "raw." you are pushing the
dreamer into your perspective and away from the dream.

Your dream work will go improve considerably when you learn to ask good
questions. You are training yourself to follow. A fascinating new level of
creativity comes through when you allow the dreamer to lead.

DIAL-IN DREAM GROUPS

Whether you live far away or close by, a phone group allows you to get
a sense of dream work in a very convenient way. With this new work, I
hope to communicate the pleasure and the excitement of dream work to many
people.
