It’s all a Dream
Do we do anything differently as therapists when a client or patient tells us a dream? Do we have different expectations of a patient’s account of a dream compared with an account of their journey to the session?
We will consider some of the ways in which Freud’s thinking about his own, his patients’ and other peoples’ dreams led to important insights into how the unconscious operates. And we will consider whether these ideas can help us to explore what the patient may be showing us.
We will also ask if it can be helpful to consider everything a patient says or does as if it were a dream.
