Weaving Life through Divides

July 18, 2009

I’ve had the chance to revisit in memory, artifact and in body, various passages of my life during the past year. And often our dreams are linked to past events.  If we follow the markers the dream render, often the lesson within is extremely relevant to the situations unfolding today.

The importance of context

April 6, 2009

Oftentimes folks want another to interpret a dream for them, yet they will only provide a mere sketch of the dream experience.  Of coarse, any image can be interpreted.  The question to ask, does the interpretation ring true? Or as some would say, does it click?…click like a puzzle piece that snaps into place.
Many will [...]

Association vs. Amplification

February 24, 2009

Quick, what does the word daisy make you think of?
Great.  That’s your association.  And you can run with that if you’d like until you create another Finnegan’s Wake, that literary masterpiece of free association (Ever see the index cards Joyce used?)
The idea I’d like to introduce here is that which Jung [...]

I had quite a few dream images while ill.  These stuck.
1.  A man comes into my grandparents house and says they will be leaving now.  He holds my grandfathers walking stick.  I get up and grab the stick saying your free to go but you can’t have that.
2. My twitter [...]

Dream : Driving on a mountain road with a car full and suddenly, quite unexpectedly the road goes right over a cliff.  Then at the bottom, everybody is dusting themselves off and checking for injuries.  I look back up the cliff and say to myself, “there had to be another [...]

Gathering a Dream Series

January 8, 2009

My posture of late has been very forward leaning, as if permanently poised at that place where the barrel gets pulled over the falls.  It’s time to pull to the side of the stream and recollect, to gather a view of the recent series of dream images and attempt to see [...]

Slingshotting

December 8, 2008

During the last week I’ve asked on Twitter for topics folks would like to see me cover in this space.  It led me to generate some real surprises and to cover some new territory.  In passing yesterday, @sidp3 asked “how did I come to the Jungian perspective?”  So…a bit of autobiography.

A rose is a rose…or is it?

December 3, 2008

Dream symbolism is a difficult subject, mainly because of a widespread tendency to explain away the living content, the actual message of a dream, by [...]
