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

Creative Activities in Being...

August 10, 2016  /  Paul DeBlassie III

To be real is to be creative. Something nurturing can come out of a lived experience. There's a zest that takes hold when we immerse ourself in lived reality. We feel better once we've faced what we need to face, the real taken in and internalized as truth in a given situation.  

The father of American depth psychology, William James, wrote that real creative activities in being must be lived experiences (A Pluralistic Universe p.185). Dreams point to such creativity when they address what has happened that we're not aware of or that we're only minimally aware of. One night I dreamt of a fairy touching my shoulder. The dream came after a day when I'd talked to a particularly inspiring person. I'd been moved, touched by the conversation. The dream dramatized the energy between us, a spiritual current that affected me. 

The experience in waking life and the symbol within the dream was a creative act. This was a lived experience that taught me something. It taught me about listening to vital feeling states when dealing with others and when going about daily activities. Lived experience is creative experience as we allow what is real, what has taken place, to inform us, to give us information about what we didn't realize at all or didn't understand was so important. Becoming conscious means becoming real, authentic, and able to grow from what we've lived.

I nurtured the relationship with this person. And, over time it has continued to prove its creative role in my life. It was a lived experience then emphasized by symbolic dream material. I'd gotten the message in waking life and then the unconscious highlighted and gave further insight into the importance of something nurturing coming out of lived experience.
