Dreams: In Health and in Illness
Meredith Sabini, Ph.D.
Santa Rosa: November 9 . Berkeley: December 7
Dreams about health and illness occur more frequently than is commonly recognized, and they were an integral part of the Hippocratic and Asklepian traditions, which are the foundation of modern medicine and psychotherapy. There is now a large body of literature on this topic, including published contributions by the instructor on how organic and psychogenic conditions are symbolized in dreams. From this work, examples will be given of dreams related to the spectrum of somatic conditions and diagnosed illnesses, showing how animal, vegetative, and mechanical imagery tend to represent bodily processes. The goal of this program is to provide therapists with guidelines of what to be on the lookout for regarding dreams that might pertain to health and illness. The program will demonstrate that psychological services, health psychology, and holistic and alternative medicine could benefit from the inclusion of dreams in the assessment and treatment of health matters.
