Few readers of this blog know this, but I am going through a divorce right now. In fact, I am 3 months separated.
It would suffice to say this is a pretty terrible period of my life. The upheaval this has caused in my day to day living is one reason why my work on Dreaming Life has been so spotty for most of 2008.
What I find interesting and want to talk about in this article is how I can see reflections of my marriage and divorce in my dreams.

I experienced an amazing dream last night.
I can’t get over it. And it’s probably impossible to truly relay how truly real and vivid this dream felt… but here it goes:

For years I’ve written my dreams down in different places; a day-to-day journal, a dream journal, on my home computer, on my work computer, even on post-it notes. It wasn’t until I started this website back in the fall of 2006 that I starting keeping an organized dream journal where I write my dreams down nearly every day.
I’m really glad I’ve kept up with this. I’ve recently organized and printed up 6 months worth of dreams into a binder! I can’t tell you how neat it is to have this at my fingertips. I’m able to see more clearly the overall . . . → Read More: 9 Tips For Improving Dream Recall To Make Your Dream Journal A Success

This week I went to the first of four Dream Work classes I’m taking at this new age Christian church in my town. These classes are based on the teachings of Jeremy Taylor and also to some degree on Carl Jung.
So what is dream work?
Essentially, we sit in a circle and share a dream one by one, retelling it as if in the present tense. People can ask you questions to clarify the dream and to get a better feel for what you saw and experienced.
Then, one by one, dream by dream, we retell each others dreams from our own point . . . → Read More: Dispatches in Dream Interpretation: My First Dream Work Class
