SEMINAR-WORKSHOP | DREAMING: BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS

Freud said that “the interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious” — but what is the unconscious, what is the road for, and can we journey both ways?

This engaging seminar, between talk and workshop, offers us an introductory 'roadmap' that draws from analytic theory, philosophy and neuroscience, incorporating personal responses from participants.

Moving beyond dualisms such as ‘sleep and wakefulness’ or ‘past and future’, the session highlights the continuous interplay of dreams between the conscious and unconscious mind.​

Session participants delve into their inner worlds through a guided experiment using active imagination, sketching and daydreaming, with Hermes as a starry symbolic guide. For those watching via Video-On-Demand, you are invited to pause and participate, gaining insight into your own ‘vocabulary’ of the unconscious.

This session explores the nature and purpose of dreams, emphasising the role we ourselves play in interpreting their elusive meanings.
