Dream Map workshop
Dream Map Workshop








I started Dream-map inspired by "Collage Therapy".
In this workshop, participants will have an opportunity to directly
experience the relationship between waking creativity and dreaming
in a way that stimulates further creative work after the session.

"Dream map" is a "self-map".
Dream map will bring dream material into waking life through
the language of form and feeling.
As artists throughout time have known, it is possible to bring
dreams into waking life through the use of shape, texture,
position and color.  
When one trusts the eyes and hands to guide the way,
it is possible to transcend the limitations of words and culture.


“Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has    
struggled with in vain.”------- Jung

This workshop offers a direct, non-threatening approach to
creating a dream-map that requires no background in art.
This workshop is followed by an explanation of the underlying   
compositional principals that guide the unconscious positioning of   
images.  Participants will leave with a deeper awareness of how dream
imagery can emerge visually into waking life.

    Thank you for taking the time to show me
    the discovery process today.
    I certainly liked that you showed me at the
    end the 'map" you made
    because I feel that the outcome was not
    conditioned by my mind in
    anyway.
    It was very eye opening and I will continue
    to use it in the future.

    Rin began the workshop with stretching
    and releasing exercises.
    We released what we need to let go and,
    consequently, opened to
    the unconscious, the higher self. The
    workshop is based on Carl Jung’s
    psychological Theory. As I chose my
    images I kept in mind Rin’s guidance,
    “choose images that you respond
    particularly to”.  
    Other directions she gave, limiting the
    amount of sources to look
    through and setting the amount of time,
    helped facilitate the process.
    I placed images without a lot of forethought,
    letting the process flow.
    Sometimes, placing images without any
    conscious reason, sometimes
    choosing images that just made me happy.
    Somewhere in the process I had entered
    an altered state and the
    unconscious just took over.
    Using Jungian theory, Rin helped interpret
    the messages deep from my
    unconscious (or, as I believe) my higher
    consciousness.
    It was revealing and enigmatic; I am
    compelled to go through the
    process again and again as I go through
    the process of growing,
    differentiating and integrating the
    messages of my soul.   
    I felt like I was in an altered state
    throughout the rest of the day.
    And my dreams have been very vivid each
    night since the workshop.

    I tried very hard to step away from
    conscious thought while I chose the
    photographs that interested or fascinated
    me. There was still a lot of 'me'
    in the final picture though that I could relate
    to. It was the placement of
    the pictures and Rin's interpretation that
    was surprising to me.
    Through that,  I was able to see a pattern in
    my life as it exists right now
    and to view my foundation and my future
    goals, rather like Freud's theory
    of the id, ego, super-ego. I would like to do
    this again a few more times,
    to see if the picture changes much as my
    situation changes, or if what
    may appear as change, is just a different
    picture with the same meaning.
    It was fascinating..... and a very  enjoyable
    afternoon.
