Common Dream Themes: What Are Your Dreams Trying to Tell You?

A Free Live Webinar with Dr. Stephen Aizenstat

Wednesday, September 23 from 1 – 2 PM PDT

Join our free webinar to find out why these themes appear so often in our dreams—and what they might have to reveal.

Falling. Being chased. Flying. Losing your teeth.  Why do these themes appear so often in our dreams—and what might they have to reveal?

Dreams speak in images, symbols, emotions, and stories. Across cultures and generations, certain dream themes appear again and again. Joseph Campbell famously observed, “Myths are public dreams. Dreams are private myths.” In a similar way, the recurring images in our dreams can open a doorway into deeper layers of meaning.

From an archetypal perspective, Carl Jung proposed that some of these recurring patterns and images arise from a collective unconscious shared by humanity. Whether we dream of flying through the sky, being pursued by an unknown figure, discovering a hidden treasure, losing our teeth, encountering a beloved, or finding ourselves inside a mysterious house, these images can carry layers of meaning unique to each dreamer.

In this lively and engaging webinar, we’ll explore some of the most common dream themes and consider how they can be approached through Dream Tending. We’ll look beyond simplistic dream dictionaries and explore how a dream’s images, emotions, and recurring patterns can become a source of insight, guidance, and wisdom.

For many people, a particular dream theme may return throughout their lives—even beginning in childhood. Rather than dismissing these recurring dreams, we can learn to stay with them, listen to them, and discover what they may be revealing over time.

Join us for an engaging exploration of the dream world and discover new ways to understand the stories your dreams are telling you.
