dream work
dream work is a three-week practicum in dream interpretation—culminating in a zine cataloging participants’ collective subconscious—that sharpens our ability to interact with the dream realm more vividly and meaningfully.

dream work strives to build community by accessing the collective subconscious and encouraging participants to share the innermost parts of their psyche as refracted through dreamscapes. the culminating zine catalogs our collective subconscious by illustrating and documenting dreams and their messages over the duration of the class. by mapping and sharing the landscapes, characters, and moods of our individual psyches, dream work creates an exploratory, transcendent, and safe space for participants, mirroring the dream world itself: universal, but individualized.
