This series extends and complements courses already offered, in English and Spanish, introducing the fundamentals of dreaming and out-of-body experiences. It is for anyone seeking a deeper immersion into the ”ocean of dreams" and expanding the potential of dreaming as a means to increase self-knowledge and personal growth.
Dreaming the Dreamer, a deep immersion into the ”ocean of dreams”, is a diploma series seeking to expand the potential of dreaming as a means of enhancing self-knowledge and personal growth. Modern psychology has produced several schools and models for dreamwork; techniques used mainly in Gestalt, client-centred, and family therapy. However, elaborated theories with manuals for dream interpretation are seldom available in mainstream therapeutic schools, suggesting that dreams play a lesser role in these therapies than they have in psychoanalysis.
Carlos, an active dreamer from a very early age, designed this series in response to his many students' requests for ways to explore, even more deeply, the world of dreams; to tap this extraordinary resource and, perhaps, to find a developmental path as exciting as Ontogony’s original vision. We are explorers and adventurers, and dreaming is one of our most intriguing and potentially beneficial areas for exploration. Dreamwork can open doors of wisdom and understanding regarding:
The nature of reality;
The possibility of transforming our experience;
An expanded perception and action in the physical and subtle worlds;
Healing psychosomatic and psychological issues; and
Profound self-knowledge and conscious integration into our True Self.
Explore dream interpretation with the goal of learning to unify the wakeful and non-wakeful states. In unifying non-wakeful and waking "reality," you bring closer the possibility of transcendent joy. Dreams are existential messages, and when we start to understand the oneiric language of dreams, their integrative value can be immense. Every character and every object in a dream represents an aspect of ourselves.
