DREAM, ART AND IMAGE
Facilitated by Elizabeth Honer and Martha Crawford
10 sessions, Wednesday evenings at 4:30pm Pacific, 5:30pm Mountain, 6:30pm Central, 7:30pm Eastern
This course will explore some of the richness of visual dream work: How dream aspects can show up in composition, color, shape, perspective, etc. We will also explore the act of creating such imagery from dream material, and how this is its own process of relationship and analysis, worth doing in its own right.
No artistic background required!

What do dream work and tarot have in common? Are they discreet or complimentary practices?
How might spontaneously produced symbols that emerge in night dreams relate to the synchronicity of pulling arcanum from an oracle deck?
Both offer the opportunity for contemplative and creative practice
But they are community and collective processes too.
Dreams may focus on an individual conflict or desire, but they may also be about the land we sleep on and our wider social and political environment.
What if we are part of the action of a card, but the action isn't necessarily happening to us? What changes when we depersonalize the message of an arcana and see it as a larger cultural messenger?
Random, non-linear, and other-than-rational processes are how the oracle—the tarot, dreams, the world—speaks to us. Imagining into a meaning-full relationship with the world is a human endowment.
We will gather to consider the archetypes we are negotiating in the waking dream of everyday life.
