The Little Dream That Doesn't Mean Anything

Tess Castleman, Jungian Training Analyst, will discuss how important information is lost when a dream is forgotten, dismissed, ignored or called names (“worthless, a snippet, stupid, etc.”).

She will explore what many miss: the quiet beginnings of consciousness evidenced in what is often overlooked. Alchemical parallels, cultural dreams, and elements of dreaming that are routinely misunderstood will be discussed as well.

Tess Castleman, Jungian Training Analyst, is the author of two volumes and numerous articles. Besides practicing in Dallas and Zurich, she leads groups in dream circles, writing seminars, creative process experience as well as active imagination/dream retreats in locations throughout the world.

She was elected to the Curatorium, (the governing body of the Jung Institute of Zurich) as the only non-resident of Switzerland where she served for six years. There she helped to implement a revamped English training program.  She has founded Das Tiefengeist Institut, a training institute for helpers and healers to deepen their work with the unconscious. She lives in Manitou Springs, CO and Dallas, Texas.
