Event description

Understanding the psychology of dreams

We spend a third of our lives sleeping, and a significant portion of that time is filled with the interesting and captivating world of dreams. However, have you ever thought if they are simply random bombardments of the brain, or is there something more profound happening beneath the surface? Have you ever awoken from a dream feeling strangely inspired, terrified, or completely bewildered? We all dream (although sometimes, we may not be able to recall them)…but what do these nightly journeys mean? Do they hold the key to unlocking the hidden wisdom of the subconscious, a secret language waiting to deciphered.

Join us for a one-hour exploration of Dream Intelligence! In this session, we will delve briefly into the science behind Dream Intelligence, unveiling the processes that create our dreamscapes and more.

Discover:

·       The Power of the Subconscious: Learn how dreams can reveal hidden desires, fears, answers and untapped creativity – a portal to self-discovery through the lens of the night-time mind.

·       The Problem-Solving Power of Dreams: Explore the theory that dreams help us process emotions, consolidate memories, and even spark solutions to waking life challenges. Perhaps the answer you seek to that complex problem lies just beyond the veil of sleep!

·       Decoding Dream Symbols: Explore common dream imagery and delve into their deep meaning. Is that soaring flight a symbol of liberation or a looming fear of falling?

·       Discuss some common Dreams: Do you Dream of falling, losing your teeth, or of snakes etc. We will discuss a few common symbols, Dreams and their underlying message/meaning.

This program is for anyone curious about the inner workings of their mind, Emotional health and knowledge of Dreams. Whether you're a Professional, Entrepreneur, a Home-maker, a Creative person or simply someone who wants to understand your own night-time adventures, this session is for you!
