Jane Teresa’s approach to dreams, in a nutshell:
When you sleep your brain and mind process your waking life experiences of the last 24- 48 hours. One function is to store some of your experiences into memory. To do this, your brain compares your recent experience with all your past similar experiences which is why you often see things from your past in your dreams. Every night, as you dream, your hard drive is updated: some memories and beliefs are strengthened, some are replaced and some remain in conflict. The purpose of all of this is to aid your survival and to help you to cope with future new experiences.
You experience all this processing as dreams. You witness HOW YOUR MIND WORKS. You witness the building and demolition of YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM based on your experiences.
The question is this: if your brain and mind are performing these necessary good works in the name of your survival, health and wisdom, what is the point of analysing your dreams? Unfortunately your dreaming brain often makes its survival decisions based on some of your oldest beliefs or past traumatic experiences rather than on today’s situation. As a result you are often wired for survival according to what kept you safe as a child or through fear of an unlikely repeat of the trauma: often hardly relevant to your life today.
When you understand your dreams you understand yourself and when you understand yourself you understand your world. You can then look at your world and decide what needs to be changed within your belief system (since your experience of the world is a reflection of your beliefs about it).
My approach to working with dreams is to follow dream analysis with exercises I call Dream Alchemy Practices. You experience your dreams as symbols, puns, feelings, allegories and other right-brain perceptions. This is the language through which you view your otherwise unconscious belief systems. Dream Alchemy Practices enable you to engage with your unconscious mind using the same language and, in this way, to change old, inappropriate beliefs into new, supportive ones.
