DreamWork Devoted To Insight, Transformation, and Growth

505-401-2388

I specialize in dreamwork with individuals seeking insight into self, relationships, and life’s crossroads. Dreams and emotions serve as royal roads to the unconscious mind. Our growth-oriented consultations uncover the hidden meanings within your dreams, troubling feelings, and relational upheavals. We access practical insights that illuminate your path in life. Dreams are soul messengers carrying profound wisdom that, once understood, become powerful tools for facing inner truths and generating practical change.

During our ten to twelve weekly dreamwork sessions, insights can reveal emotional blind spots, offer clarity, and restore your footing in life. I strive to help people discover light in the dark corners of the mind, facilitating a heightened sense of mental clarity, emotional relief, and openness to ongoing change and transformation.

Please note that my practice is limited to growth-oriented consultation. Mental health crisis intervention is best obtained through a referral from your primary care physician or the National Hotline-988. If you seek dreamwork for personal insight, transformation, and growth, consider calling to inquire about openings for virtual dream consultation.

Professional Affiliations: Depth Psychology Alliance, the International Association of Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, the International Association for Jungian Studies, and the International Association for the Study of Dreams.

All consultations are conducted via teletherapy.

Session Fee: $250

Jung, Yoga, and Wholeness...

January 14, 2016  /  Paul DeBlassie III

A master yogi sought out depth therapy, entered my consultation office, and immediately related, "Last night I dreamt that my shushumna was burnt to a crisp. I was horrified and knew that I had to address this today." The shushumna symbolized the central life channel that flows with energy, both masculine and feminine. Over the course of his work, we explored how he had lost balance, burned too hot with too much masculine energy. The nightmare symbolized irritability and his sense of being out of sorts for many months. Wholeness had been damaged.

CG Jung wrote, "I was walking along a little road through a hilly landscape; the sun was shining and I had a wide view in all directions. Then I came to a small wayside chapel. The door was ajar, and I went in. To my surprise there was no image of the Virgin on the altar, and no crucifix either, but only a wonderful flower arrangement. But then I saw on the floor in front of the altar, facing me, sat a yogi - in lotus posture, in deep meditation. When I looked at him more closely, I realized that he had my face. I started in profound fright, and awoke with the thought: 'Aha, so he is the one who is meditating me. He has a dream and I am it.' I knew that when he awakened I would no longer be . . .  The figure of the yogi, then, would represent my unconscious prenatal wholeness . . . .." (C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, and Reflections, p.229).

Wholeness is native to our nature as humans. In the deep meditation that is daily life lived with awareness, we can rediscover our wholeness. It comes as a sense of well being, sensitivity to self and others, and a natural feeling for spirituality. The master yogi, with time and patience, restored himself to a wholeness that was open to ongoing change. He had become too into himself and his life, losing vital balance. With perspective restored, that quality of valuing self, others, and life then, as he commented, " . . . My peace of mind has returned. I am once again whole."
