Presented by Michael Gellert, L.C.S.W.
- Sold Out
Borrowing a notion from the Elgonyi natives of central Africa, Jung designated “big” dreams as those “concerned not only with the more or less personal relations of an individual to his family or to a wider social group, but with his relations to society and to the human community in general.” Having universal significance, such dreams often comment on the human condition, history and the evolution of consciousness, or social problems of great magnitude. This talk will be an exploration of big dreams and how to work with them so as to extract their wisdom and integrate their value into our individual, everyday lives. Participants are encouraged to bring their dreams.
Course Objectives:
- Describe what constitutes a big dream and distinguish its particular features from other dreams
- Discuss the implications of big dreams for the individuals who have them and for society at large
- Give examples of how to work analytically with big dreams
