Although I had always appreciated the fascinating, alluring and often strange landscape of dreams, they were never something that held much interest for me. Like many people, I regarded them as little more than fragments of the imagination, and would respond with a wry smile to friends who kept a dream diary. Little did I know that I was about to have an experience that would initiate me into that very field.

​

While on retreat in the Catskill Mountains, I had a dream that unfolded in waking life exactly as I had experienced it in the dream. Every detail of the location, every encounter and every interaction with the people involved played out precisely as I had dreamt it. The bridge this revealed between my dreaming and waking states was undeniable. Having never experienced anything like it before, I shared what had happened with someone local to the retreat centre. He directed me to a man in the local community, who worked with dreams.

​

When I eventually tracked him down, I arranged a session with him. The experience was so transformative that I asked if he would teach me his method. That was twenty-five years ago, and I have been practising his approach to dreamwork ever since. Now in his eighties, my dreamwork teacher remains both a teacher and a friend to this day.

​

This approach to dreamwork is particularly suited to those already engaged in a process of self-enquiry and discovery. It can be especially valuable for creatives who wish to keep their ideas fluid, expand their creative possibilities and access a greater sense of their potential. It also offers a way for facilitators, practitioners and coaches to resource themselves in new ways.

​

The work may also resonate with those drawn to non-dual philosophy, as well as anyone who has explored conventional dream interpretation and found it didn't reveal the dream's deeper meaning.

Dreamwork sessions are available online via Zoom and can be booked in GMT.
