Monday 03 October 2011 - 7.00 PM to 8.30 PM - The Universal Language of Dreams with Ian Wallace

‘We all dream, but our dreams often seem to be bizarre and confusing experiences that make little sense to us, no matter how much we try to analyse them. The key to understanding our dreams is to look beyond individual symbols so we can become aware of the bigger patterns we create every night when we dream.' - Ian Wallace

Ian Wallace is a dream psychologist who has the unique ability to bring the experience of a dream into waking reality. He is widely acclaimed for his astonishingly accurate live dream analysis, performed with an expert empathy and immediacy that both informs and entertains. Ian’s interpretations have been described by dreamers as fascinating, compassionate and beautiful. He has analysed over 140,000 client dreams during his 30 year professional career.

The traditional method of trying to unravel the mysteries of our dreams, is just to accept these phenomenal experiences as a passive activity that somehow happens to us. However, modern psychological research has shown that the reverse is true. The simple fact is that dreams don't happen to us, we happen to dreams. Although dreaming may seem to be a passive experience, we create every single aspect of our dreams, from fading indigo storm clouds on a distant horizon to the faces of long forgotten childhood friends. Realising that you create every aspect of your dreams opens up a whole new level of awareness for you, by revealing that you have deeper patterns to your life that you are often unaware of.

These deeper patterns appear again and again in our dreams because they reflect our own fundamental life themes. As we begin to recognise the universal stories that we create in our dreams, we can start to use these patterns to achieve a much clearer understanding of our waking lives. These fundamental themes reflect who we can really be in our lives, illuminate what we really need and show how we can actually accomplish our lifelong ambitions. The dreams that we all have reveal our deeper life purpose and can guide us through the practical realities of achieving our most cherished waking dreams.
