dreams ARE...

Client Quote from a One-Off Dream Interpretation to a Stranger:

"When Rick offered to interpret my dreams I told him that I didn't have them or at least I don't remember them. But, Rick reassured me that it need not be a recent dream or a complete retelling, and so I told what little I remembered of a dream from my childhood. I told it expecting a fun and creative take of an irrelevant dream, but I didn't expect Rick to also expose a narrative that has been playing throughout my life that my conscience self has been ignoring. I was deeply touched by Rick's handling of this unexpected raw part of my personality that I have been running from. He has truly sparked an enthusiasm for interpreting my dreams within me. Thanks Rick"

Let me share something extraordinary with you about dreams and the unconscious mind

With a personal dream journal spanning 150,000 words across 195 pages, and many years of studying the greatest works on dreams and psychotherapy, I bring something rare to our potential work together. This isn't your everyday dream interpretation - it's a journey that can literally take your breath away with its depth and meaning.

Dreams aren't just night-time stories - they're letters from your deeper self, written in a personal symbolic language that we can learn to understand together.

Sometimes the meaning of a dream can make your jaw drop. I've seen it countless times - that moment when someone realizes their unconscious mind has delivered exactly the insight they needed, packaged in symbols and metaphors that speak directly to their soul.

While dreams can be a powerful tool in our work together, I want to be completely honest with you - they're not essential. Think of dream work as an extraordinary side dish rather than the main course. You can achieve profound healing and growth without ever discussing a single dream. But for those who feel called to this work, it can open doors to understanding that nothing else quite matches.

Here's what makes my approach different:

• I don't impose interpretations on your dreams, but I bring experience and expertise to help you discover the landscape of your unconscious
• We discover their meaning together, at your pace
• Each symbol might carry multiple, overlapping meanings
• Understanding often emerges gradually, like a photograph developing
• Dreams form patterns over time, revealing deeper truths

The unconscious mind is incredibly wise, but it speaks in symbols rather than plain language. Through our work together, you'll learn to decode these messages, discovering:

• Hidden aspects of yourself yearning to be expressed
• Creative solutions to seemingly impossible problems
• Deeper meaning and purpose in your life
• Ways to heal old wounds you might not even know you carry
• 
  

As Jung discovered, dreams can be numinous experiences - moments when the sacred breaks through into our ordinary lives, offering guidance and wisdom.

This work might be especially powerful for you if:

• You're seeking something deeper than traditional therapy
• You have vivid or recurring dreams that seem significant
• You sense there's more to life than what you're currently experiencing
• You're drawn to symbolic and metaphorical thinking
• You're ready to explore the mysteries of your inner world

I bring not just expertise but genuine enthusiasm and wonder to this work. Every dream we explore together is an adventure, a chance to discover something new about who you are and who you might become.

Remember, sharing dreams is intimate work - it requires trust and safety. I create a space where your dreams are treated with the respect and curiosity they deserve. Whether a dream seems profound or puzzling, significant or silly, we'll approach it with openness to what it might reveal.

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." - Carl Jung

Let's discover what your unconscious mind is trying to tell you. Together, we can explore these mysterious messages from your deeper self, finding meaning and guidance that can transform your life.

Are you ready to begin this extraordinary journey? Let's talk about how dream work might become part of your path to healing and growth.
