Symbol, Sign and Subconscious Signifier: Writing the Dream Time May 1, 2011

What your dreams are trying to tell you? And how do they inform the creative process? Are the symbols of language and dreams arbitrary? Allegorical? Archetypal?

This workshop will allow participants to explore the personal dream landscape and the language used to describe it.
Through group exercises, a deeper look at the symbolism of dreams will allow writers to compose meaningful, creative written work. The workshop will begin with a guided meditation working with sacred geometry, color and the chakras to open up the flow of creativity. Then, participants will look specifically at their dreams, guided by a Jungian perspective, and begin to construct creative work that reflects the deeper meaning of these dreams.
The workshop will look at the specific elements of symbolism, color, character structure and narrative voice, and incorporate free writing and group exercises into our craft. By the end of this workshop, participants will have drafted a creative piece (poetry or fiction) that expresses and reveals the symbolism of the personal dream landscape.
