Dream life opens us up to an entirely different landscape for living, with fundamental shifts in time, space and perspective. In this living space my high school English teacher and present day neighbor become friends - or enemies, or my childhood friend meets my adult children. Each days events get twisted, turned and transformed. The space where waking and dreaming worlds meet, when we are half awake and still feel ourselves in the dream, can be intensely sweet, or intensely disturbing. Donald Meltzer, a British psychoanalyst, in his book Dreamlife tried to penetrate some of the mystery of dreaming. We will read selections from his book and explore the experience of dreams together, the dreams of our patients and of ourselves. This course is cosponsored by COR and the Alliance.
