This training introduces clinicians to evidence-informed dreamwork and practical, low-barrier ways to work with client dreams in session. Content covers basic sleep/dream science, why we dream (preparedness, integration, adaptation), and the modern clinical “comeback” of dreamwork. Clinicians learn simple interventions that do not require “expert interpretation,” including emotion-first exploration, associations, recurring patterns, parts-based perspectives, and ending/integration work. Training includes an experiential exercise using Clara Hill’s Cognitive-Experiential Dream Model (imagery → insight → action).
AT THE END OF THIS COURSE PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO:
Identify key sleep phases and core conditions that support dreaming.
Describe how dream recall relates to clinical work.
Explain major theories of why we dream (e.g., threat simulation/preparedness, emotional integration, cultural/adaptive functions) and how they inform case conceptualization.
Apply at least 3 brief dreamwork interventions in session (emotion-first inquiry, associations/recurring patterns, parts/character exploration, perspective/ending, and integration-to-action).
Demonstrate a short structured dreamwork activity (Clara Hill model) and translate insights into a small, clinically appropriate action step.
