A Road to Wholeness through Jungian Dream Analysis
Dream School is a unique course program that offers access to your inner world of knowing, possibility and freedom.
Presented by three experienced Jungian analysts, the year-long program provides the space, knowledge, and guidance you need to reach within and unlock the secrets of the inner self that appears each night — and that will bring new spirit to the day.
Dream School is an affirming community of fellow travelers, each on an individual inner adventure. And it’s fun!
Join us in an adventure to wholeness through understanding your dreams, the “little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul.”
Why Join DREAM SCHOOL?
Every night your dreams waft you into an alternative universe where anything can—and does—happen. A childhood home is carpeted with grass, a toilet is made of jade, and a drum major’s baton becomes a sword.
Dreams open us to the depths of psychic life and infuse our souls with connection to meaning and the transcendent.
Dreams speak a language of image, symbol and feeling, and they ask you to understand, to embrace, and to follow their calling. They invite you to a life of mystery, possibility, and vitality.
DREAM SCHOOL is for you if:
~ You are curious about the secret places you visit each night and what they can tell you about yourself and your life.
~ You feel distant from a part you that wants to feel more connected and alive.
~ You want to feel the beating heart of your inner life.
~ You would like to learn how to see the world through symbol and image.
~ You want to feel the moving mythic river beneath the mundane.
~ You’d like to work with methods and techniques from Jungian depth psychology and apply them to your life.
~ You’d like seriously adventuresome Jungian guides and a supportive community with whom to go on an inner expedition.
You will learn:
Dream School will help you to
~ Decode your dreams
~ Integrate the wisdom of your dreams into waking life
~ Experience the space between worlds.
~ Understand how dreams show you what is out of balance, give you access to guiding spiritual realities, and offer paths for healing.
~ Provide an abiding ability to connect to your inner life and feel companioned.
No previous experience is necessary.
Your Jungian guides will provide resources, and fellow travelers will support you.

Expert Guidance
We are experienced Jungian analysts inspired by dreams, myth, symbol and imagination and are passionate about helping people live into their depth and fullness.
Dream School is founded on Carl Jung’s pioneering insights. We bring years of study, training, and experience with dream work. We have explored mythology and fairy tales that connect us with the collective unconscious, common to all humankind. We have studied symbol systems rooted in the deep archetypal realities that have guided human development for millennia.
We have grounded our studies in many years of our own personal analysis and our work with individuals in psychoanalysis. You can see our professional qualifications here – and our monthly live stream will give us a chance to get to know you.
Jungian FRAMEWORK
Jungian dream analysis is based on the work of Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who mapped the unconscious through his work with dreams.
Dream School will teach Jung’s essential principles of dream interpretation and the skills basic to decoding the images and metaphors of dreams.
For Jung, the goal of psychological work was individuation: fulfilling our innate possibilities for becoming whole selves and living liberated and loving lives.
Working with many thousands of dreams and plumbing the depths of psyche, Jung discovered that dreams offer myriad paths to meaning, creativity, and a guiding source of life he called the Self.
A detailed method for working with your dreams
Each month in Dream School we will work deeply with an aspect of dream interpretation, learning and practicing a particular skill.
We will lead you through a step-by-step process so that by the end of the course, you will have a clear and detailed method for working with your dreams in a comprehensive way.
We will provide guidance on recalling dreams, working with personal associations, identifying and amplifying archetypal elements, and understanding the energetic arc of the dream. And we will look at elements such as shadow, anima/animus, and Self in dreams.
COURSE MODULES:
1. WHY WORK with dreams?
Our exploration of dreams will begin at the beginning – why should we be bothered to pay attention to our dreams?
2. Dream Recall in Context
Throughout history, people have known that dreams bring valuable wisdom. What did our ancestors make of dreams & dreaming? How can we best remember our dreams?
3. Understanding Jung’s Structure of the Psyche
Jung mapped our inner terrain. His conceptualization of the psyche provides a structure for understanding the mystery of dreams.
4. Objective and Subjective Dream Interpretation
Is your dream about your boss really about your boss? Sometimes the dream maker points to the inner world, and sometimes to the outer.
5. Dramatic Structure of Dreams
Jung said that “a dream is a theater in which the dreamer is himself, the scene, the player, the prompter, the producer, the author, the public, and the critic.”
6. Association and Amplification
Each of us has a personal mythology woven together with memories and experiences. When these are illuminated with ancient themes, we can see the hand of the Self at work.
7. Shadow in Dreams
Those parts of ourselves we would least like to know about often visit us during the night.
8. Anima and Animus in Dreams
Our drive towards wholeness evokes the image of the beloved. When the archetypal contrasexual shows up in dreams, the psyche is concerned with adaptation to the inner world.
9. Complexes in Dreams
Our unresolved inner conflicts give rise to the nightly images that we call dreams as a way of bringing us back into balance.
10. The Self in Dreams
Jung called the Self “the center and circumference” of the personality. Dreams that feature the Self are usually experienced as powerfully numinous and transpersonal.
11. Active Imagination
Jung developed the technique of active imagination as a way to dialogue with the unconscious in order to expand on the experience of a dream image.
12. Bringing it all Together
In our final module, we demonstrate how to weave the threads together into a cohesive tapestry which we call “the interpretation.”

What members are saying
Liesl
What makes Dreamschool different from other similar programs is that you get so much more than just the modules with the academic information. The audio discussions together with the transcripts and especially the other tools like the Questions and Answers really add to the richness of the program. It caters to all types of learners and Lisa, Deb and Joseph put in so much effort and extra time to accommodate all questions during the live feed.
Alison
I feel torn between wanting to tell everyone about Deb, Joseph and Lisa and dream school, and keeping them all to myself – sort of like when you’re 18 and find a new band you love!
Loretta
Deb, Lisa and Joseph are like a reconstituted, revisioned version of the Mod Squad…if anyone apart from me remembers that show. Via their program, they accompany us in the complex, confusing and sometimes dangerous territory of our psyches. With their warm, good humored and analytical presentation they engage us in varied psychological subjects that assist us to navigate our lives.
Lucila
Listening to your teachings, thoughts and musings has expanded my consciousness and has inspired me to take my dreams, as well as my transcendent self, seriously. I am grateful to have found you and Dream School!
Leva
Dream School feels like a Jungian training liberated for the collective. Teachings and understandings that previously may have been restricted to those involved in an analyst training programme are available online and are rendered accessible, relevant and soulful. My own individuation and relationship with the unconscious has deepened significantly.
