My guest today is Dr. Bryony Shaw, a clinical therapist and an expert in tending to one’s dreams. As part of her doctoral programme, Bryony performed research, which strongly suggests that working with dreams can increase well-being, enhance creativity, and improve problem solving. Now, she helps others improve their own lives through dreamwork. I found Bryony to be thoughtful and engaging, and I really enjoyed our conversation. I hope you enjoy it as well.
In our conversation, we discussed dreamwork and psychoanalysis, addressing the whole person, transformative experiences, coming closer to God, having an experience, what dreams are, what’s going on in the brain, the need for a story, freud’s iceberg, our bodies processing experiences, brains bodies and symbols, things that come to us at night, an excited psyche, meditation and dreams, sharing dreams around a campfire, dreams that explain reality, avoiding talking about what’s really bothering us, connecting to a dream in a moment, connecting symbology to life, the container of a dream, questioning our subconscious, truth and perception, our bodies remembering more than our heads, dreams come for a healing purpose, integration, woo woo, human experience, and the urge to merge.
