Unraveling messages of the night Karen Bennett s Chronicle Special! Throughout history dreams have been used in many ways, in many different cultures and eras. Native American tribes have used dreams in their vision quests. Religious groups have used dreams for spiritual guidance and enlightenment and poets, artists and scientists have used dreams for inspiration. A longâ€"standing colleague of C. G. Jung, one of the founding fathers of modern psychology, described dreams as "Chinese puzzling nonsense."" Mark Barnes, a Waterloo psychotherapist, is giving a course to help unravel those puzzling messages of the night. The eightâ€"week, Monday evening course 7: 30â€"9 p.m. namnea;l Jungian analysis/Dreamwork, begins Jan. 27 and will be repeated April 7 in Waterioo. The course deals with Jungian concepts such as archetypes, the pollective universal images and motifs of myths ‘and dreams, the terms shadow, the unknown other side, or Mr. Hyde, extrovert/introvert and anima/animus, which refers to the unconscious component of the opposite sex in one‘s personality.

To help clarify the concepts of Jungian psychology and the sumbols in our dreams, Barnes will draw on examples of dream interpretations from his practise. He will also use slides that he has collected from several museums across Canada to illustrate the recurring use of similar symbols throughout history in different cultures. "Once you begin to appreciate the relevance of dreams," Barnes said, "they become wonderful healing tools. Dreams often give us a variety of creative solutions to our problems." "I had a patient who was considering stopping therapy. That night she dreamed of knocking over chicken soup. The message was clear to her: to leave therapy at that time would be to reject healthy nurturing." _ Dream research shows that you need to dream, and in fact, you dream several times each night. Even if you rarely remember your dreams, Barnes said, "They are working to restore a balance that waking life seems to disrupt." "Often dreams order us to relate to someone or something," Barnes said, "If we reject something within us, it pursues us." As an example, he related a dream interpretation by Marie Von Franz, a longstanding colleague of Jung‘s: Your money‘s worth. . and more Use your Sears card 12°° 2â€"Bx 105. 2â€"5x 75. 10 wallet size* collection Sears Portrait Studio portrait 14â€"piece / includes 95¢ deposit Dream therapy course The patient, an amateur writer, who had little confidence in his writing ability, repeatedly had dreams of animals pursuing him. Von Franz told him that the animals represented his creative side. He didn‘t believe it until he had the following | dream: A bull with an erection was chasing him. When he stopped and turned to look at the bull he realized that the erect penis of the bull was actually a ballpoint pen. "Dreams do urge us to be true to ourselves and the unconscious does have a sense of humor," Barnes said. "As in the example of the bull dream, it is obvious that the dreamer‘s true power lies in his creativity." "Many dreams,"" Barnes said "act as a sieve â€" a system to sort out the garbage that accumulates during our day to day lives. An example of this would be from the dream of a business man who insulted his boss publicly after having a disagreement with him. That evening he dreamed of being in court on an assault charge." _ Barnes believes that people are crushed by the massmindedness of society and that this massmindedness can make anyone feel superfluous. ‘"Most people don‘t believe in their own existence," he said. "Dreams help us to find the uniqueness of our own lives. Dreams point out paths to follow that are natural to us." "We cannot hide our indiscretions from the SUPERIOR MEMORIALS 528 Victoria St. N..

"The dreamer in this case had actually put himself on trial for symbolically assaulting his boss." . Barnes urges people who are interested in what the unconscious has to tell them to keep a dream diary. "I advise people to sleep with a pen and paper nearby, so that they can record their dreams immediately, because most people tend to loose or alter their dreams as the day goes by." One tool he uses with his patients, to help them get in touch with their ‘"inner guide", is active imagination. It involves ‘"Fantasizing about certain elements that appear in dreams, in order to find out what messages are trying to break through." "If you meet up with a scary monster in a dream,"" Barnes said, "confront that monster in waking life by having a conversation with it. The monster is part of you and it has something to say to you about things you may have been overlooking in yourself." "The results people get from conversing with images in their dreams are often shocking and revealing," Barnes said. "For example a woman who is outwardly very passive and shy may reveal extreme aggressiveness by way of her conversation with a character that appeared in her dream." â€" -‘v‘vju‘néfii;\â€"'rérr')"ispirituél-ly oriented â€" the fashion in this society is to be rational," Barnes said. ‘"Society is destructive to feeling and this hurts people." _ _ For more information on this course call 884â€"8643. and e Feelings of satisfaction not starvation e Free kit of professionally authored resources Registered Protessional Dietition Nutritionists
