Doing dream work is like entering a portal of fascinating and transformative energy. Dreams come to reveal important truths which can help us make significant life changes. They provide a more complete picture of who we truly are. Dreams offer us practical advice and can also serve as a profound spiritual activity, a means to psychological self-awareness and creative inspiration.

I have had the good fortune to study dreams with two of the leading experts in the world. My first teacher, Dr. Montague Ullman, who died last year at the age of 92, was considered by many to be the “Dean of American Dreams.” Monty, as he liked to be called, had one of the most interesting academic titles I’ve ever seen: Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Para-Psychology at Albert Einstein Medical College. Once a year he offered an intensive dream workshop to which fourteen people from around the world were accepted. I participated in two of them.

As a psychiatrist Monty saw how, in his words, “My colleagues were killing the dream.” They did this by insisting on an “authoritarian” approach where they were the experts and their clients’ role was to listen to and accept their interpretations. Monty knew the long, rich history of dreams and dedicated most of his life to returning the power of dream work back to individuals.

My second teacher and the man who has had the greatest influence on my dream work is Dr. Jeremy Taylor, a Unitarian Universalist minister who has written four acclaimed books on dreams and has taught dream work all over the world. Like Monty Ullman, Jeremy has a non-authoritarian perspective: He believes that those of us from all walks of life can learn to understand our dreams and benefit from the valuable information they provide.

In this course you will learn some of their successful methods along with insights I have gained from working with hundreds of dreams over the past 10 years.
