This is the story of two of my dreams and how working with them guided me to discovery and treatment of a life-threatening brain aneurysm. I had no conscious symptoms. The first dream (the Wolf dream) urged me to "notice" something—but what? The second dream (the Fish dream) energized the quest even though the goal of the "noticing" was unknown to me. I will describe the mysterious unfolding of psychic contents and their bewildering counterparts in my everyday life. I will tell you how the journey, before and after surgery, became a sort of unconscious meandering through the English countryside of the 1600s, to Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, the alchemists, and on into the ideas of C.G. Jung. Following my recovery I began a study to see if there had been clues to the condition in my various creative interests during the year prior to the dreams. The number and variety of clues I found astonished me.
Workshop: Saturday, December 9, 2000, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday will allow for informal dialogue about my recovery dreams and the road back, about Psyche and Soma, and about how individuals attending the workshop might think about and work with their own dreams or the dreams of their patients. Time allowing, attendees may present brief dream vignettes to consider in analytic terms related to the topic.
