It is with profound sadness that Janet Pfunder, a treasured Montague Ullman
dream facilitator and psychotherapist left her earthly home on March 6,
2015. She is now bound for her celestial home, a place from which she
conducted the orchestration of a dream like a true maestro. Revelations born
under Janet’s dream work often culminated in life-changing results for the
dreamer. Her anatomical dissection of a dream performed in perfect pitch,
reflected the skill of an accomplished surgeon. Harmonizing clarity,
structure, compassion, and humor, her sensitivity was nonpareil. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL YOUR STORY?
Have you had a life changing
dream? Would you like to share it so that others may appreciate the source
of inner wisdom that lies within our dreams? In IASD we support dreaming as
an important part of our growth, healing and learning process and we wish to
illustrate that concept with stories from those who have experienced life
changing insight and guidance from their dreams first hand. IASD is
therefore planning on publishing a book of dream stories and lessons by
those who have experienced life altering changes that were initiated by a
dream – and we would love to hear your story.
ULLMAN DREAM GROUP IN MILAN
The students pictured here attend the third year at the School of Psychotherapy of the Milan Center of Family Therapy, Italy. The class, led by Massimo Schinco, was a lesson dedicated to the emotional value of dreams. The students, sensitive to dreamwork, had experienced other dream group methods, but it was their first time with the complete Ullman Experiential Dream Group Process. They were impressed by the experience, commenting that it was both peaceful and stimulating. As far as Massimo knows, it is the first time that the Ullman method has been applied in a complete form in Milan. NEW BOOK ON LUCID DREAMING TO BE PUBLISHED
In Lucid Dreams
and the Holy Spirit, an autobiographical and deeply personal account, Maria
Isabel Pita shares how she found her way home to God through lucid dreaming
as a spiritual practice.
Lucid Dreams and the Holy Spirit is a compelling contemporary story of
the age-old mystery of God's pursuit of Man, charting Maria's journey
through the extraordinary experiences she recorded, and the insight and
direction she drew from them as she was led to the works of Saint Theresa of
Avila. Dream by dream, Maria discovered that she was being guided along a
path, in keeping with Christian mystical tradition, of spiritual espousal.
In this issue, Hot Off the Press explores dreams and cinema. The intention
of this column is to publish links to evidence-based scientific articles
that are written for a non-research audience in the study of dreams. |
