and interactive workshops on our coaching methods,
dream coaching, dreamwork, lucid
dreaming and lasting relationship happiness.
Are You the Dreamer? ... Or the Dreamed? Dream Coaching
Dream coaching (Dreamwork) is fully integrated
into our Systemic Solutions
Dreaming may be older than human consciousness. You can
watch sleeping babies and sleeping animals move their limbs and
body, and make unusual sounds. Dreams seem to assimilate or
integrate past and current events, and help evaluate future possibilities. Dreams seem to be one way
that people make sense of their relationship with and connection to their
emotional reality and physical world.
A human conscious mind seems to be limited to holding about seven
things in consciousness - according to psychologists. And it seems that a
human
unconscious mind (body-mind) can simultaneously manage millions of things.
(Many books
have been written about analyzing the content of dreams, as if your unconscious
mind uses the same symbols as the author, regardless of your history, family and
cultural background. We are generally suspicious of the relevance of dream
analysis.)

Dreamwork |
A person
who wants individual personal success, can dream alone;
if more people are
involved, they can learn to dream together. |
Daydreams & Visualization
Can you imagine yourself lying on a beach enjoying the sun? Or
perhaps walking in the mountains on a crisp morning? Can you daydream and
picture yourself in places you'd like to go to, or doing things you enjoy or
have always wanted to try?
Athletes often do this before a competition. They
imagine themselves skiing down a challenging hill or moving through their gymnastic movements.
They see themselves doing each move perfectly ... and gaining an award or
recognition.
The Harvard Business School surveyed graduates about
their goals and again ten years later. Most graduates who had clear goals were making two
to ten times the income of their classmates. This is an example of the directed
daydreaming we use in our coaching.
Hawaiian Dreamtime: Moe Uhane
For the healing kahuna of old Hawaii, unusual or recurring
dreams were considered significant, and worthy of exploration. To better recover
the details of a dream, and to find the meanings, a kahuna might join a person
within a dream. This Hawaiian Dreamwork is called moe'uhane -
dreams of the spirit or lucid dreaming - and is a potent key to open the door
of Hawaiian Spirituality.
I have thoroughly explored and extended this concept since
1988, and developed some useful methods for using dreams in coaching, psychotherapy
and personal development. However, our Dream Coaching requires a deep respect for people
and I am careful to whom I teach it.
The feedback and responses are persistently and phenomenally positive. People resolve unpleasant
dreams and
recurring nightmares while making "dreaming" a wonderful activity.
(I integrated dream coaching into our systemic coach training ... we teach it on
our Systems 3 training.)
Dreamscape & Nightmares
If you ask us for help, we will ask you about your problems
and goals. If you cannot answer, we may offer to
dream with you. We may gently enter your
dreamscape, to together understanding the often-confused
imagery. In this way, we can offer possibilities for helping you integrate your
conflicts, dissolve your relationship bonds or remedy unresolved trauma.
This is particularly useful when we help people who suffer
from deep limiting beliefs or toxic relationship entanglements. Our dream coaching also
helps people find lasting solutions for unpleasant or disturbing dreams
and recurring nightmares.
Dreamwork Coaching
Entering your dream can be like entering Pandora's
Box. Neither you nor I know what to expect in your dream. Forget those
books of interpretations of dream symbols.
We often find that an event or symbol in your dream have many messages, and
rather different messages than the "obvious".
Our Dreamwork Coaching is no place for arrogance! (See also Chaos
Coaching and
Quantum Thinking).
Maybe you are simply curious about an unusual, repetitive or well
remembered dream. If you have unpleasant
emotions or if you have recurring dreams of misery, death or monsters - perhaps contact
us.
(Note that dreaming together within a disturbed person's nightmare can be traumatic for the
unskilled and damaging for the inexperienced.)
Coaching Sleepy Clients
Dreamwork Case History
While I was teaching a class on Jungian archetypes at University of Nevada in Las Vegas, a female
student asked to be a demonstration subject. She described a recurrent dream of
being chased by a vampire. During our dreaming together, instead of her running away
in terror, I helped her meet and chat with the vampire. The vampire
explained that he was her keeper of
power, and as the woman was avoiding her power, he followed her.
The vampire offered the woman his cloak - jet-black with bright red
trim. She put on the cloak and felt immediately resourceful. She said
that never before had she felt so powerful. The now-friendly vampire offered
deep advice about the woman's lifestyle and some life problems.
Two weeks later, the young woman reported that she could easily maintain her powerful state. She
described a series of beneficial
changes that she had made in her family and personal relationships.
