One's own dreams are perhaps the most difficult psychic product for one to access. For this reason, Jung even discounted dream work in favor of active imagination. Nonetheless, dreams are the most direct and immediate form of individual experience. This lecture offers both a review and introduction to Jungian dream work with an emphasis on working on one's own dreams. Starting with the ego defenses that nullify or negate dream material, the presentation will move to the `operations', a variety of procedures individuals can use to mine nuggets of psychological wisdom and reality from these phantasms of the night. The lecture will include a wide variety of dreams and dream imagery.

The only way to learn to work with dreams is by actually working with them. Therefore, the workshop—building on the theoretical material of the preceding evening—will provide to participants the opportunity to interpret dreams themselves in small group interactions. The workshop will focus on working dreams using the imaginal approach, as well as several of the classical Jungian approaches such as compensation and the personifications of anima/animus and shadow. Plenary sessions will allow participants both to "check their work" and to exchange ideas.
