  • A complex of emergent consciousness processes and technologies (refer Worldwork; Transpersonal Psychology) based on ancient traditions (refer Dream Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Trance).

    Dreamworking differs from classical dream interpretation in that the aim of dreamwork is to explore the various images and emotions that a dream presents and evokes, while not attempting to come up with a single, unique dream meaning. In this way the dream remains "alive" whereas if it has been assigned a specific meaning, it is "finished" (i.e., over and done with). Dreamworkers take the position that a dream may have a variety of meanings, depending on the levels (e.g. subjective, objective) that are being explored.
