The Language of Dreams - an educational video series

 - generously gifted to ARAS by its producer, Carol Sellers Herbert -

About the course:

Dreams are messages from the unconscious expressed in its own language—symbolic, metaphoric, poetic, imaginal, engaging, transforming, healing. In The Language of Dreams, Jungian analysts guide the dreamer through methods of relating to their dreams while ARAS, the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism, shines a light on the cultural interpretations of the symbols. This course also teaches how to engage active imagination in working with “the language of dreams.”
