Counseling psychology is one of those spheres of life, which help to define and analyze human problems and present a worthwhile suggestion in order to continue enjoying this life. In fact, not much is known about the ways in how spirituality incorporates into dreamwork in practice.
According to Lyon and Wimmer, “spirituality is gradually becoming recognized in counseling as an important aspect of client diversity that clinicians must consider in treatment planning.” It is known that dreams, which a patient has while sleeping, may serve as a really powerful means in order to develop psychic abilities. To do this, it is better to spend more time and clear up what a person is dreaming about and comprehend what causes these dreams. Numerous images, sudden words, sounds, and changes on face – all this should be taken into account. It is unnecessary to choose one interpretation of a dream and follow it all the time. Each dream is a unique unit and should be evaluated separately. In order to make the dream work properly, it is important to find out several ways and connect the conscious mind with the unconscious mind.
The incorporation under consideration that takes place between dreamwork and spirituality is one of the most reliable ways to help people grasp divine messages and start improving own life. Spirituality is a person’s attitude to his/her own state of mind and understanding or even improving the relations with the items, which are sacred.
So, dreamwork could incorporate into spirituality by means of the following techniques:
- a talk about pleasant dreams, taking into consideration each detail, in the present tense in order to believe that such dreams may be real and evaluate the situation if these dreams come true;
- giving concrete names and dates in order to make this dream alive and interesting;
- attention to personal emotions and reactions to changes – this is a dream of an alive person and may cause certain changes even within health, and
- readiness to answer questions – real questions may also help to make the dream closer to the real life.
Dreams cause lots of questions: the deeper the questions are, the better dreamwork is. Spirituality can easily take the form of some religion within this dream work. It is better to create and develop an alternative practice. Spirituality may exist inside of a person, and this person cannot even realize this truth. This spirituality develops day by day and influences the perception of information that is vitally important for this life. And finally, with time, spirituality that was hiding somewhere inside becomes known to the conscious mind by means of dreams, any type of dreams. This is how spirituality may incorporate into dreamwork and considerably influence people’s lives. Dreams analysis and incorporation of dreamwork and spirituality – these are the major ways, which may provide the communication between conscious and unconscious minds of a person and help to solve different problems and make this life easier.
