What is Dreamwork?
Dr. Katya Walter probes the roots of dreams in individual consultations & in groups. For an individual, working with the dreams reveals a private message constructed by the unconscious wisdom & delivered to that unique psyche.
In a group, the
emerging dreams also develop a holographic
group theme that is new and different each time.
Randomly chosen dreams from the group always weave together into a shared transcendent meaning. Carl Jung called called it "the acausal connecting principle of synchronicity."
Dr. Walter says the fractal power of chaos patterning is what causes synchronicity. Modern chaos theory is at the root of what Jung termed synchronicity. On scales large and small, this connectivity organizes self-similar patterns of matter & energy in space & time.

Dreams are sacred, according to ancient cultures.
Dreams show our human drama at the primal source. These dramas enact our issues to give us sacred messages. In fact, Greek theater began by enacting healing dreams at the temple of Epidaurus.
Today dream messages mostly go unheard. We don't know what to make of them. We just think they're wild & crazy mishmash. In the words of Erich Fromm, they use the 'forgotten language.'
This language can be learned again.
We all knew this language once, thousands of years ago. It rings with the symbols of resonant connection. We can learn to understand it again. Dreams use images, punning, & gestures...like when you play a game of charades. Every action signals something: 'Sounds like.... Looks like...'
It's fun.
Even nightmares are fun when you figure out why they keep slapping you
upside the head with a 2x4 to get your attention. What a relief when
you finally do get the message!
It's worldwide. True, some people don't remember them. They treat it like garbage in, garbage out.
Dreams are a gift on your pillow each morning.
Freud said dreams are letters from the unconscious. Dismissing them
unexamined—garbage in, garbage out— is like throwing away unread all the mail that is sent to
you nightly.
Why does nature give us dreams?
Why
do people around the world understand what it means to have a dream?
Why did nature put this complex & yet universal mechanism
into us?
Each dream tries to get across a message to help the dreamer. But often the waking ego throws it out unread. People just shrug it off.
But I have seen many forecasting dreams, for instance. They clue a person in on the stance to take in an upcoming situation. How can a dream see around the corner of time to know what's up ahead? Well, it happens a lot. It suggests that time is not really what we think in the waking world."
