How to use Dreamwork for Spiritual Growth | Jungian Dream Psychology & Inner Work [13/52]

With 10 years of experience, this video shares what I've learned about Jungian Dreamwork, including practical techniques for lucid dreaming, dream interpretation, and how to avoid compulsive dream addiction. Unlike other lucid dreaming videos which can sometimes tilt towards unconscious escapism, this episode of Inner Work Essentials seeks to provide a level-headed perspective on how to use dreamwork for Spiritual Growth, Self Healing, and Personal Individuation without becoming ungrounded, chronically dissociative or otherwise insane.

Want to know where this series is heading? Read my teaching intentions below! INNER WORK ESSENTIALS: SERIES AIMS (STATEMENT OF DIRECTION) 1) Provide the student with an informed and representative overview of multiple complementary therapeutic modalities to support their self-healing process; with special encouragement placed upon the auto-therapeutic application of particular healing modalities for particular problems at particular stages in their journey. 2) Nourish the intellectual and spiritual maturation of the student by familiarising them with the most exciting, challenging and credible concepts in developmental psychology, consciousness studies and transpersonal metaphysics; with central emphasis being placed upon comparative analysis of multiple complex theories. 3) Encourage an empowered and more authentic sense of individual self-expression as a combined outcome of the two previous intentions, plus the application of holistic lifestyle principles, self-educational practises, and foundational healthy habits. INNER WORK ESSENTIALS: EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES On completion of this series, the student should expect to be: 1) Auto-therapeutic. The student will feel generally competent in their ability to select and self-administer the most suitable therapeutic modality on a full-spectrum basis: ranging from the somatic resolution of central childhood wounds to the everyday self-regulation of symptomatic stress responses such as anxiety and addiction. 2) Closer towards baseline integral consciousness (Wilber). Through their combined efforts of rigorous self-inquiry and critical engagement with recommended reading material, the student will have significantly developed their intellectual and spiritual maturity to a noticeable degree, in likely correlation with their depth of engagement. 3) Holistically Empowered. The student will enjoy a meaningful expansion of their physical, emotional, sexual, and creative expression as a result of their healing and expansion work. In short, they will be healthier, happier and feel more complete. 4) Self-educational. The student will have felt organically inspired to move beyond free video content and create a self-structured learning arc which takes maximum advantage of at least several dozen inner working books mentioned within the course. The student will consequently enjoy lifelong learning habits including: critical research skills, long-term focus, and the ability to know when to stop studying. /// Video Themes: carl jung; jungian therapy; unconscious mind; the personal unconscious; active imagination; how to integrate the shadow; individuation; how to individuate; how to do parts work; how to do shadow work; how to do inner work; dream work; dreamwork; how to do dreamwork; jungian dreamwork; jungian dream interpretation; dream meanings; how to work with dreams; carl jung dreams; lucid dreaming; how to lucid dream; lucid dream tutorial; 📸 - Follow me on Instagram:   / thorntontheory   DM me for 1:1 consultations & private mentoring. #innerwork #luciddreaming #carljung
