This morning I was having a conversation with someone I have not seen for fifty years. We were standing in a café and I was expressing my confusion about why I had returned to work. I didn’t need to, I did not know what my job was and I was feeling somewhat lost..His name was Pat Benson and he was my boss for three years at Salada Foods from 1967 to 1970. I woke to find I was dreaming.
Dreams tap directly into our unconscious. They often contain people and symbols from the past. The immediate question I faced was why this dream now and why did my unconscious select this person from a fifty-year old memory? I realized one tool at my disposal was to engage in “active imagination” with this person and ask them. This is but one of the ways we can enter our imagination on a journey of exploration.

1) Exploration and Working with Dreams as Guidance
2) Engaging in Active Imagination
3) Exploring Images and the Power of Projection
4) Understanding The Languages of Intuition
