A course designed to deepen and enrich your clinical practice
THE POWER OF DREAM WORK
Dreams are ubiquitous, they transcend both time and culture and are an essential aspect of the human experience. While some may believe that dreams are simply the by-products of the day, random brain activity, or just a mechanism to process waking experiences, others believe that dreams have a special significance. Ancient civilizations revered dreams and sought healing sanctuaries to incubate and tend to their dreams. Today many have lost a connection to this unseen world and have become separated from the wisdom encapsulated within dreams. Indigenous peoples, psychoanalysts, Jungians, and those that pay careful attention to dreams still recognize the special significance and value encapsulated within dreams. When you begin to pay attention to the symbolic language of the dream and incorporate practices that attend to and listen carefully to dreams, they can guide you, nudge you on your path, and point the way towards wholeness - it's time to heed their calls.
Jung states, “It is only in modern times that the dream, this fleeting and insignificant looking product of the psyche, has met with such profound contempt. Formerly it was esteemed as a harbinger of fate, a portent and comforter, a messenger of the gods.” - Two Essays on Analytical Psychology
Just like Carl Jung, we believe that dreams are of vital importance to our mental and physical health, and we recognize that the art of dream work provides a curative factor. Dream work can revitalize our energy, compensate for one-sided perspectives and when dream material is worked through during a dyadic experience, if done so with proper guidance the process supports the furtherance of the individuation process.
Historically, the significance of dream work for clinical master’s programs has not been given proper attention and many institutions do not give serious consideration or time working with Jungian principles nor do they provide a comprehensive understanding of Depth psychology. This program has been carefully curated to fill this void, provide a comprehensive introduction to Depth Psychology and extend your knowledge of the importance and value of dream work. All modules will support your ability to incorporate dream work into your life and practice and this program aims to exemplify the value of dream work as an invaluable method for self-discovery and a fundamental and essential component of clinical practice.
When you begin working with dreams you will come to understand that dreams have an innate intelligence, covey deep meaning and communicate vital messages that can provide healing, restore balance and are brought forth in service of wholeness.
According to Marie-Louise von Franz, “When we pay attention to our dreams a self-regulating tendency in the soul comes into play which counterbalances the one-sidedness of consciousness or completes it so that a kind of wholeness and a life’s optimum is achieved.” - Dreams
The Nature of Dreams according to C.G. Jung

ENHANCE YOUR ABILITY TO INCORPORATE DREAM WORK INTO YOUR CLINICAL PRACTICE
Since we recognize that depth psychology and dream work is regularly overlooked within most master’s level curriculums, we designed this program to bring these teachings to the forefront of your learning experience. Depth psychology and dream work was created to immerse you into the fascinating world of dreams and open up a rich and vast landscape. Dream work opens a portal to the unconscious and supports the exploration of unconscious material that awaits your discovery.
Because depth psychology is highly complex and there are vast areas of depth-oriented studies, it can take many years of in-depth study, extensive research, personal exploration and psychological inquiry to get a firm grasp on many of these concepts and ideas. The sheer volume of information contained within Jung’s Collected Works alone can be overwhelming, not to mention the complexity associated with his many theories and areas of focus. In addition, many other experts have made important contributions to the field of depth psychology, adding to a broad spectrum of knowledge and varied ideas. Of course, wading through what is often very dense material during your free time doesn’t make learning practical or fun. Furthermore, it can sometimes seem impossible to decipher the key points, never mind putting all the information together in a way that is easily accessible, immediately applicable or easy to infuse into your practice and daily life.
Here at Creative Depth, we aim to make your learning not just accessible and grounded in everyday language, but also easy to incorporate into your busy schedule. This program is online and self-paced so you can easily incorporate your learning into your life even with a busy a schedule.
This certification program is comprehensive, engaging, imaginative, and is designed for both personal growth and professional development. All modules are purposefully created to make your learning experience fun and enjoyable. We are called Creative Depth for a reason!
