Dream Work

I started working with my Dreams in my early 20s – 2000-2001, when I began my Psychoanalytic training as part of my Psychology degree in Bulgaria.

I remember the trepidation, self-awareness, and tingle with which we started each session.

Those were group discussions on Classical Freudian Psychoanalytic Dream analysis. We gathered weekly for 2 years and combined theory with experiential learning.

 

I am quite confident to say that those Dream groups shaped me in a way that I could have never imagined, and importantly, in a way that I am particularly grateful for…

Of course, there came the Deep Sleep, but not the  one that offers deep realizations about oneself, but the metaphorical deep sleep. I call that period when all inner eyes and years just fell asleep and I oriented my efforts, energy and work towards the acquisition of … things:

• Titles
• Degrees
• High heels
• Vacations
• The constructed ideas of the shiny family – a house, a dog, and voila – a new baby!

It was a few years after that I managed to shake off or… to actually wake up from all of this, and make myself once again available to the lessons of the Unconscious, to the deep work of sitting with, working with and sensing the Symbols that my own Psyche was offering to me every night.

In the last year, I’ve felt as if I have been called to make this work more and  more available to others.

I have combined the learnings from Freud, Jung, Marion Woodman, Marie Louise Von Franz, and Clarissa Pinkola Estes, to create DREAM ACADEMY.

Dream Academy is an experiential learning course that runs over 5 weeks and it offers:

• Dream Theory
• Dream Analysis
• Symbol work
