Course Description
Dream Interpretation
"A dream that is not interpreted is like a letter that has not been opened." (The Talmud)
Across cultures and over the ages -- since the beginning of history -- dreams and their interpretation have both intrigued and bewildered people. From the ancient Greeks and Egyptians (and the peoples before them), to the Sigmund Freud's and Carl Jung's of this world and beyond.
That mysterious world we drift into and through, when we sleep, is bound by neither time nor space.It is a land where the impossible becomes possible, and the nonsensical appears completely plausible and practical.
IT IS THE LAND OF DREAMS that has neither boundaries nor limitations -- a land where you can, and do, achieve whatever you aim for.
BUT as with any other land you need to be able to understand, to be able to speak the language' and that is what this course is all about.
We do not claim to cover everything you will want or need to know -- that would be impossible to do and misleading to claim.But after completing the course you will most certainly have the knowledge to make basic sense of your dreams and the ability to begin interpreting them correctly.Fluency will come to you with time, experience and a broadening of your skills.
There is so much more we would have liked to include but the contents will most certainly ignite the torches within that will illuminate the way for you.
You will learn how to become your own dream interpreter!

Course Lessons
Lesson 1: Why We All Dream and Why We Should
A dream well dreamt can prompt us to question the world around us, what we are doing in it, how we view it and what we do, as well as, defining what is real and what isn't.
Lesson 2: Dreaming Through History
The point is that dreaming is a fundamental part of all our lives, one of the very few universal strands that unites all human beings.
Lesson 3: Freud/Jung/Perls
Described as the "royal road" to understanding the unconscious mind by Sigmund Freud -- DREAMS -- were the centerpiece of his highly controversial book The Interpretation of Dreams
Lesson 4: Dream State, Levels and Logic
In this lesson we will be covering several of the better known, and more widely acknowledged dream states, as well as some of the very important points in relation to levels of dreaming.
Lesson 5: Dreams Across the Cultural Divide
Dreaming is a truly universal experience, however, cultural factors and religiousness do play a significant part in how people regard the significance and consequences of dreams.
Lesson 6: Your Own Dream Lexicon
Our dream pictures and feelings are generated by our unconscious and for our own benefit -- you can find comfort in that. Our unconscious talks directly to us through our dreams, one-to-one.
Lesson 7: Dream Symbols
The messages contained in our dreams are typically conveyed as symbols -- representing an idea, concept or emotion -- something that is difficult to put into actual words.
Lesson 8: Dreaming About
Yes, we often dream about things, and occurrences, which are common in our every day lives.
Lesson 9: Analyzing and Interpreting Your Dreams
In practically every culture and during practically every Age in our history, dreams have both enthralled and mystified us and had us scrambling to find bigger and better ways to understand their implications.
Lesson 10: An Eclectic Approach to Dream Interpretation
Everything changes over time, so naturally the approach to dreams and their interpretation is no exception.
Lesson 11: Dreaming Creatively
The real meaning of what it is to be creative is frequently mis-stated and misunderstood with so many people thinking and saying things like "I'm not creative at all".
