Description
Dreams in the 21st Century: Royal Road or Road to Nowhere?
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to the unconscious activities of the mind.” (Freud, 1900).
Monday 9th October – 4th December 2023
7:45pm – 9:15pm
Hybrid event – In person at 10 Windsor Walk SE5 8BB and online via Zoom.
Psychoanalysis would not exist if Freud had not paid attention to both his patients’ dreams and his own. It was this investigation that enabled him to construct his radically new model of the mind. Should we still take dreams seriously, or are they a distraction? Are nightmares and traumatic dreams different from those that help us think? How do psychoanalysts today listen to dreams, and how are they used in modern clinical practice?
This series is open to everyone and will be of particular interest to clinicians working in psychiatry, psychology, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, nursing and other areas of mental health as well as those working in the arts and academia.
Chaired by Dr Rupert Nieboer, Dr Liz Allison & Dr Emma Staples Hotopf
