Dreamwork and imaginal healing: the incorporation of artwork in a systematized method of group dreamworkEuvrard, Gwenda Joan January 1999 (has links)
This exploratory study investigated the expansion of an established systematized group dreamwork method (Shuttleworth-Jordan, 1995) to incorporate artwork. The rationale for the addition of artwork was situated firstly, in a poetic Jungian understanding of the image as a holistic "place" of gnosis or transformative healing and, secondly, in an argument that in order to carry the gnostic potential of the image into the lived world, a dreamwork method should involve all four styles of consciousness (thinking, intuition, sensation and feeling). It was considered that the verbal interpretive Shuttleworth-Jordan method would be enhanced by the incorporation of a visual artwork process in order more fully to open the potential of the method for incorporating the nonverbal intuitive, sensation and feeling styles of consciousness. In order to compare the established method (dreamwork Without Art) and the proposed method (dreamwork With Art), two dreamwork workshops were conducted in which all participants experienced all four conditions of the study: Dream Presenter Without Art, Dream Presenter With Art, Group Member Without Art, Group Member With Art. Two levels of assessment were utilized: a quantitative analysis (involving rating scales completed after each dreamwork session), supported by a qualitative analysis (involving written questionnaires completed at the end of the workshops and follow-up interviews conducted a week after completion of the workshops). The results suggested that the incorporation of artwork in the Shuttleworth-Jordan (1995) group dreamwork method enhanced the established method in that a consistent trend of increased involvement in the dreamwork process and increased dreamwork effectiveness was reflected, while no deleterious effects were noted which might detract from the effectiveness of the existing model which had been established in previous research studies. Finally, a refined step-by-step group dreamwork method incorporating artwork was proposed, which included qualitative feedback from the present study.

Droomontleding: `n opvoedkundig-sielkundige hulpmiddel vir insig in die emosionele probleme van adolessenteJones, Anita Catherina 30 November 2003 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to determine whether dream analysis, as an educational psychological means, can provide insight into adolescent emotional problems. Hence, a literature study was done on adolescent emotional problems, on dreams and on dream analysis. Several classical and contemporary theories on dreams and dream analysis were analysed to design a model for dream analysis. A qualitative study, with five adolescent girls with emotional problems, followed. Data gathering included recorded dreams, interviews, diaries, a personality test, (the Emotions Profile Index), a projection medium (Three Wishes) and the above-mentioned model for dream analysis. Findings indicated that dream analysis can provide insight into adolescent emotional problems, revealing the intrapsychic world of the individual. Emotional problems that were revealed by the dream analysis, are anxiousness, aggression, a negative self-concept, feelings of being socially isolated and depression. Compensatory as well as regulatory functions of dreams were revealed by the empirical investigation. / Die doel van hierdie studie is 0om te bepaal of droomontleding, as 'n opvoedkundig-sielkundige
hulpmiddel, insig in adolessente emosionele probleme kan verleen. 'n Literatuurstudie oor adolessente
emosionele probleme sowel as drome en droomontleding is dus gedoen. Verskeie klassieke en
kontemporere teoriee oor drome en droomontleding is ontleed om 'n model vir droomontleding te
ontwerp. Dit is gevolg deur 'n kwalitatiewe studie met vyf adolessente dogters met emosionele
probleme. Data-insamelingstegnieke het die volgende ingesluit: droomverslae, onderhoudvoering,
dagboeke, 'n persoonlikheidstoets (die Emotions Profile Index), en projeksiemedium (Drie Wense) en
bogenoemde model vir droomontleding. Die bevindinge het getoon dat droomontleding insig in
adolessente emosionele probleme verleen deurdat dit die intrapsigiese wereld van die individu blootle.
Emosionele probleme wat deur droomontleding blootgele is, het angs, aggressie, 'n negatiewe
selfkonsep, belewing van sosiale isolasie en depressie ingesluit. Kompenserende sowel as regulerende
funksies van drome het tydens die empiriese ondersoek na vore gekom. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (specialisation in Counselling)

Dream experiences as a method of influencing behavioural changeMelchione, Cheri 12 1900 (has links)
A dream can impact a person so profoundly that it may permanently alter his or
her life, beliefs, or behaviour. Most of the time, these gifts of insight happen to only a
rare few and usually occur without intention. These life-altering dreams are spontaneous
and unpredictable. While most studies focus on the content or meaning of dreams after
they occur, this study explores the possibility of using dreams to influence behavioural
changes in the waking world. This study examined three of the dream elements
associated with profound dreams that could potentially be used to develop a systematic
method of using dreams to create behavioural changes. The three elements are (a)
Emotion: the ability to generate high-emotion states within a dream; (b) Narrative: the
formation of narratives within a dream; and (c) Reality: the ability of the dreamer to
perceive and accept the dream as reality.
This study was conducted using a qualitative research design with a narrative
analysis approach in order to explore and understand the subjective experiences of two
participants. Data were collected through the participants‘ interviews and dream journals
to help determine themes emerging from each of the participants‘ individual experiences.
The themes were then analysed for any information regarding the three elements of
dreaming as well as the dreams‘ personal significance to the dreamer. Further analysis
explored whether lucid or non-lucid dreaming was able to intentionally produce an
experientially-based shift in a specific target behaviour. The results of this research study
suggest that there is potential for using dreams to induce behavioural change. The
research provided a preliminary inquiry into this new field of dream therapy. This
exploration of key elements to a potential dream method may prove essential to defining
a basic framework and the tools that may be required to implement a new dream method.
Future studies are necessary to uncover the correct combination of elements that will
produce profound dream experiences at will. / Psychology / Ph. D. (Psychology)
