Introduction
Alice was a 29-year-old woman who came to me for help with anxiety and lack of confidence. She wrote this nutshell description of herself on the intake form: Ive always found it difficult to be okay with the unknown. When faced with a new or challenging situation, I crawl back into myself, to protect myself. She told me the following dream:
Im in a meadow. A 3- to 5-year-old girl is there, a cute little blonde girl. A female deer is there too, bigger than a fawn but not fully grown. All three of us are playing together in the meadow. They lead me to the edge of the meadow, where theres a forest, and a path leading into the forest. All of a sudden we stop playing. They start walking onto the path. They notice that Im not coming with them, so they turn around. Theyre both looking at me. They say, Cmon, follow us. I just freeze. I want to follow them but I cant. I want more than anything to go with them but its like I cant move
While discussing the dream, we both find it striking that she cannot move. But why not? What is stopping her? It appears that nothing is stopping her except an unseen and very powerful forcethe presence of a limiting fear that exists somewhere inside her. This is the same fear that causes her to crawl back into herself when faced with a new or challenging situation; she knows it all too well but she cannot remove it or fix it. The beauty of this short and simple dream is that it depicts a limiting mindset in a clear and nonthreatening way; it asks of her: what might you be able to do about this? This dream, like so many, highlights a crucial problem and calls out for some creative solution to be brought forward.
Dreams can be sacred, they can be scary, they can be fascinating, they can be funny, they can be erotic, they can be exhausting and chaoticin fact they can be anything! And they can also be communicative they can have a lot to tell us if we care to listen, and a lot to ask of us. They can depict our stuck points and limitations, they can speak about what makes us ill, what stresses us, how we may be behaving dangerously, how we are trying to change, and what is blocking us from changingall issues that most of us agree are critically important. Yet most of us do not take our dreams seriously, and practitioners within the helping professions do not regularly address their clients dream lives. Why not?
What if you were Alice? What would you make of your dream? Would you take the time to think about it? Would you want to understand how it is related to your life and your current situation? And what if Alice was your friend or your client and she asked you to help her understand the dream better. Would you dive in confidently and try to help her? If the answer to this question is no, would you like to be able to dive in? Is it possible that you are one of those people who would enjoy working with dreams? Perhaps you can become a dreamworker!
